If defenses in the CFL are at college-level talent, Tebow could have a field day. Look at his stats from the final college game he played against Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl.
The average salary in the CFL in $80,000 (CDN).
I suspect Tebow was making a lot more than that on SEC Network last year.
1. I don't buy that CFL defenses are college-level talent. There is a huge gap between college-level and NFL, and the CFL is probably about right in the middle.
2. That Cincinnati team's defense was horrible to end the year. They gave up 36.5 points per game in the four games before the Sugar Bowl. I'm not sure if they had injuries or a scheme issue or both, but they really were bad down the stretch.
3. Even if he could get reps against college defenses, there are things he could work on that are hard to simulate in practice situations.
