Tim Tebow still training for NFL rebirth despite long odds

Let's get this out of the way first: If Tim Tebow's workout-gone-viral had been a revelation to the Eagles on Monday, he'd likely now be arranging logistics to spend the spring in Philadelphia.

Tebow remains, more than anything else, a curiosity in NFL circles.

According to one team official in Philly, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner did "fine." Sometimes, these tire-kickings are favors to players, to get them back on the radar. And this one, at the very least, did that for Tebow.

So ... what next?

No, actual higher completion percentages.
Tebow: 47.9
Romo: 65.2
Bridgewater: 64.4
Smith: 57.5
Sanchez: 56.3
Whitehurst: 55.6
Orton: 59.5
Newton: 59.5
Stafford: 59.6

So everyone of them is more reliable than Tebow. And now you know why Tebow’s not on a team.

Because the cost of finding out is minimal, and the benefit is knowing once and for all?

Supposedly the Eagles will be interested in Tebow if they can trade Matt Barkley. Well Barkley is a fourth rounder who is currently the third string. I can't think of why a team would give up a draft choice for someone they could get off the wires anyway, and I can't imagine that the Eagles are all that interested if it hinges on trading Barkley. I think Tebow will be back on the SEC network this fall.

Could be.

Chris Collinsworth graduated in the same class as me, and he had decent career with the Bengals before getting into broadcasting. Look where he is now.

He played on an 0-10-1 Gators team, too (1979).
