This is something I truly do not understand. I cannot believe he was let go at all....much less that no one else has signed him yet. What have I missed here? I wish someone could explain it to me.
I interviewed and my company hired a kid who graduated from a big 10 school and played 3 yrs in the NFL. He told me that in any NFL team, players who were not drafted by that team are very much in a secondary status, unless they were obtained in a trade or are coveted free agents. The management always believes/wants to convey that their picks are the best. He said the most talented/best performers aren't necessarily playing the game. Not saying this is the full reason but it does have an effect on management thinking.
1. Tebow represents an ideal, a high moral standard that the NFL does not want to promote.
2. He's an outspoken, unapologetic Christian who simply does not fit in what the media want to push. See Jason Collins.
3. He's unorthodox. He doesn't fit the mold of what prototypical pocket passer. And the conventional '3 year rule' for QBs in the NFL has been thrown out the window for him. There are worse, FAR worse QBs in the league who floated from team to team. See Brady Quinn.
4. The NFL has become a side show, bordering on WWE type entertainment. Its the most popular sport in this country. And its become a shadow of itself with all the criminals and asinine rules, statements, etc. from Roger Goodell.
