"Tebow might be great as a tight end who is willing to play QB if needed, but that is not what Tim wants - he thinks he can be a starting NFL QB and no team sees that in him."

Kind of reminds me of Kordell Stewart. When he was playing as "Slash," for the Steelers he was an incredibly versatile and dynamic player and his mere presence threw an opposing defense of balance. He may be a QB on one play, show up as a WR on the next, and then punt if the team failed to convert.

...But he insisted on being a full time, starting QB, and his career tanked.

Yup, pretty good comparison.

Tebow is very likely to be out of football next season because he just doesn't have the potential to be a really great quarterback. Few teams want to invest the time in someone they can plainly see on film and in workouts doesn't have the fundamentals to even develop into an elite QB. The NFL is all about min/maxing. In key positions, teams aren't looking for a jack of all trades, master of none type of player.

Tebow has a winning attitude and personality though. With his size, if he was willing to maybe be a tight end who is also a 3rd string quarterback, he could really be valuable to someone. If he wants to stay in the NFL though in that capacity, he would probably have to stay out of the spotlight. One of the other reasons teams avoid him is they know because Tebow is outspoken about his faith and a big media draw, he is a potential QB controversy waiting to happen if the starter(s) are having a bad season.
