"I’m blackballed for the very same reason. Can’t throw, can’t catch."

From the article:

Isn't there a coach out there who can help Tebow get the most out of his abilities? Logic would suggest that someone with his level of commitment would be a strong candidate for improvement.

It may have already happened: After Tebow was released by the Jets, one of the franchise's former quarterbacks, Vinny Testaverde, expressed his disappointment to ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini. Testaverde, who had just spent a week working with Tebow in Florida, said he and another ex-NFL quarterback, Chris Weinke, made a key footwork adjustment that produced noticeable results.

"Chris and I looked at Tim careful and we were both amazed," Testaverde told Cimini. "Everybody has been focusing on his throwing motion, trying to fix that, but nobody had picked up his footwork. His footwork was all screwed up …

"We got his footwork fixed. His throwing motion is now a non-issue. He throws with what we call 'effortless power.' He doesn't have that elongated motion anymore and his head isn't moving two-and-a-half feet when he throws it."

I think given Tebow's record when he played warrants another chance. There are plenty of employed quarterbacks who have FAR less upside...not to mention no fan base.

I hope a team takes a chance on him.

I hope so too, but I don't expect a miracle turn 'round on his throwing mechanics in the heat of battle.

And the Jets blew it with him. He should have been in for second downs for the option to keep the other team guessing.
