Probably the most balanced thing I've read on this. The circus will be gone. The Patriots are about football. Period.

I hope they give him the chance to continually drive that ball right down the Jets’ throat.

This is why I said the Saints or the Patriots were the best shots he had: one would ignore the circus while no one would notice the circus around the other.

And with Tebow on the bench behind Brady, it’ll be his perfect opportunity to get better.

The thing about Tebow is that, despite the fact he's not a lights-out quarterback, his leadership skill is way off the chart. ESPN (maybe?) miked him during a Bears game a while back . . . and you can see it.

Those of you greybeards out there who've played Squad Leader--he's a 10/+3.

Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, is a liberal and has donated to Obama. This is good opportunity for Tim Tebow to witness to Kraft. Perhaps Tebow’s Christianity will serve as an example for Kraft and he’ll renounce his leftism?

The Circus will always be there. But Belichick won't put up with it the way Ryan did.

Obviously, Tebow is now with an adult organization, unlike Rex Ryan's Jets.

Tebow never really got a chance but then I’m not a really big footbal fan. I know he was absolutely phenomenal in college. I tend to think he is persecuted for his faith which shows, like in every other institution in American society, that Leftists are in control.

Living in Pittsburgh (such as that may be) I am a citizen of Steelers Nation. I hope the Steelers play the Patriots in the super bowl and after Brady gets knocked out the Patriots come from behind to win by three TDs.

Yes. Belichick is the better coach and will make better use of Tebow’s abilities

I can’t see the Pats picking up Tebow as a QB. The entire Pats passing system is based on short to medium timing routes which demand an accurate QB with a quick release who can made quick reads. This is not Tebow’s strong suit.

I heard he's going to be a tight end, not a quarterback.

The circus won’t be gone, but the circus won’t be allowed to park as close to the practice facility as it has been. And Belichick will dismiss the circus rudely often, like he already did in yesterday’s press conference “that’s enough questions on that player”.

He’s there because he knows the Jet’s playbook.

Also there will be no QB controversy. Brady would not have signed off on this (per se) had he not liked the idea of Tebow coming. Brady, unlike insecure Sanchez, is a great QB (probably the greatest when all said and done) and in no danger of losing his job. He probably likes the idea of Tebow taking the inside the 5 yard line licks now and then.

Even though Tebow has said he wants to be a QB only watch for him to come out of the backfield or an occasional slot or TE position as do all the Pats receivers.

This article is actually readable.

And rational. You might even like most of it.

Imagine that, all that in an article about Tebow.......

I would have liked to see the Bears pick him up,even though it scares the heck to watch him throw. He throws like he’s tossing a baseball, dropping his throwing hand below his waist. You’d think rushing linemen would get the idea of knocking the ball out of his hands.

On the other hand, it takes 5 years to make an NFL quarterback. You can be on a winning team and look good before then, but at five years an NFL quarterback matures.

I think in the end he will too.

I am now officially a Pats fan! With Brady as QB and Tim as tight end or specialty player I hope they never lose again! I’d have a publicity campaign that said: Unlike the Jets and Broncos, we have no trouble with God!.
