Tebow spent two years working with Brady’s throwing coach to work on his weak throwing.
I love Tebow. He was a great college QB, but he will never be an NFL Franchise QB. His mechanics are terrible, and his ability to read defenses sucks. I think he can be a good FB or TE, but he will never be a starting QB.
Well they gave up a lot for Bradford. Only time will tell if he can remain healthy.
Pats fan here. I was rooting for Tim when they gave him a preseason tryout. He was terrible, at least for a team that used a drop back offense. Slow reads, inaccurate. I was rooting for him, but he wasn’t up to the job. Good luck to him on this next try.
Eagles just got DeMarco Murray.
I admire his tenacity, but Tim Tebow ought to at least have a backup plan to play another position. I think he'd already be celebrated as a monstrously successful Outside Linebacker if he'd played that position instead of QB. Maybe he can't do anything else but play Quarterback.
On the other hand, I saw Tebow's 2012 post-season victory against the Steelers in the legendary '3:16 Game' which sent every Tim Tebow detractor crawling back under their rocks in utter abject humiliation. Certainly the most amazing performance I've been witness to in all of professional football.
Skepticism OK, but I’m more optimistic. He has the desire & drive to succeed in the NFL, particularly as part of a hurry-up, read/option offense.
Which band member is Tebow replacing?
Go Tebow!
I admire Tim, wish him the best.
Drop back QB?
Don’t think so but him in the backfield w/ a QB, fading out behind the line. QB laterals to Tim, Tim can run, or pass.
Basically the halfback pass with a pretty good passer and brutal runner.
I think some really effective plays could be built around that concept.
Perhaps they used that phrase in the title because Tebow is a Christian, but I find it borderline blasphemous. The only other context I’ve heard that phrase is in connection with Easter and the proper response is, “He is risen indeed!”
Must be.
Tebow would fit into the Chip Kelly system. He would be cheaper than Mariota, and would not much pressure as long as he could hand it off to DeMarco Murray.
“And Raise him up on Eagles Wings...”
Is that the real headline for this story?
I will mount up on wings as Eagles.....
Considering the huge absence of decent QB’s in the NFL, many teams should be holding weekly open auditions.........
Imagine if Tebow lined up as an end, and then declared himself either eligible, or ineligible... I’m confused thinking about it ...
No. They just traded Nick Folz for Sam Bradford so they're eschewing Folz's pocket ability.
I can't imagine what he's thinking about with the oft injured Bradford.
However, in the Oregon system, Tebow would have a chance as a running option type quarterback as a backup to a Marriota type QB. Don't be surprised if Philly tries to trade up with Bradford to obtain rights to Mariotta. Tebow would be a perfect backup in tat scenario.
It appears they’ve decided not to sign him.
