They could have used him in so many ways and I think Belichick could have come up with a large number of plays to really confuse some defenses.

If Belechick thought that Tebow had the talent to contribute in a meaningful enough fashion to justify designing plays around him then don't you think he would have kept him? The fact that the poorly managed organization like the Jets may not have found a reason to keep Tebow isn't necessarily damning. The fact that a highly successful organization like the Patriots didn't is. Tebow is not an NFL level quarterback. He never has been. He never will be.

It took Manning 2 years as starting QB to get the same amount of playoff wins that Tebow got the Broncos in one year.

Neither is half the ones playing right now.

Yes. But the fact is, there was no room for him on the roster. Belechick said as much. He was in a tough spot. He wanted to keep Tim but could not.
No...he would not have been an NFL quarterback with the Pats. He would not have been a backup at all. But he has talent.

In the end, the roster and Tim's insistence on playing quarterback probably combined to sink his shot with the Pats.
