With the above critique, it sounds like the ‘Skins should pick up Tebow and put him in line behind RG-III.

I’ve made similar “prognostications” here on FR regarding the run-option QB. For some teams, it may be the way of the future and, since in the run-option, the lifetime of a QB is shortened (10-and-retire), it will save the owners $$$ over a contract and, ultimately, up-front (as the idea takes hold).

It is such a shame he does not change to another position. I think he is being stubborn. He is not a great quarterback to say the least, but would be good in another position.

This is how America now treats the “All American Boy”.

If Tebow were willing to switch to halfback or tight end he would be very much in demand. It is his apparent insistence on playing QB that is keeping him unsigned.

I can't imagine those who run professional football teams would refuse to contract with a player having the skills that would make them money. It appears that no matter how much one respects Tebow as a man he just does not have the skills necessary to Quarterback a professional football team.

No coach in his right mind is going to take what is probably his most expensive (and valuable) asset and let him get pounded virtually every play, and for the run option to be an effective threat, that's what's going to happen. The author even mentions RG3’s bad knee, well how do you think that happened? The other problem with the run option is that it wastes other potential big contributors - if I've got a couple of world class sprinters at wide receiver, I don't want them running 10 yard curls. As a Seahawk fan I know what's like to have a QB who can take off and make big plays, but you can't build an offense with that as a strategy - you'll either burn out your QB or a couple of head-hunting safeties will send your hero to the orthopedic ward. When you call the tune, sooner or later you will pay the piper...

Why would anyone in the NFL waste a valuable spot on him, when some team will have the opportunity to sign that elusive and valuable, “first gay in the NFL”?

On the plus side, it has given me a lot of my life back.

I can remember when weekends posed a significant conflict between doing things and watching the sports. I find I am having more and more time to do things, and less and less time wasted on sports!

To bad Al Davis is gone, I think he might have signed him.

Great kid, great Christian, rotten NFL QB. That pretty much sums it up. Reggie White was the Minister of Defense and he certainly had NO problem with teams knocking down his door to get him. Why? Great player.

This is a business decision. Nothing more.

A rotten quarterback that still has more playoff wins as a Bronco than Manning.

What nobody mentions is that even with flawed mechanics, and only 82 passes in his NFL career after one season, Tebow in 2011 threw just 6 interceptions in 318 passes, and three of those were in a 12-minute stretch when Denver was already more than a touchdown behind in the late going of a game at Buffalo. Just as impressive, he was right near or at the top of the NFL in yards per completion, and his yards per attempt were very high. He was able to do this even though John Fox had him passing only, essentially, when the opponent knew he’d be passing — he’d almost never have Tebow throw on first down or when Denver was tied or ahead. Add in the element of being a superb runner with the ball, and Tebow was borderline great in making Denver into a successful team that season, after the Broncos had lost 25 of their previous 32 games. And, now quarterback experts who worked with him say the mechanics of his throwing have been solved by fixing his footwork. He is being black-balled from the league. I am confident, though, that God has a greater calling and purpose for Tebow, whether it has anything to do with football or not.

If we could put Tim Tebow in a time machine and bring him back to 1984, besides listening to “Colour By Numbers” and voting for Reagan’s re-election, Tebow would be able to team up with Doug Flutie and been part of the greatest 1-2 QB punch in NFL history. Those two would have been fun to watch.
