Report: Tebow’s Camp Says NFL Career Might Be Done
CBS ^ | 05/31/2013

Posted on 06/02/2013 6:04:06 AM PDT by KevinDavis

The NFL might have seen its last bit of Tebowing.

A new report claims that some of those closest to Tim Tebow have suggested that the unemployed quarterback’s NFL career is likely done. ESPN’s David Fleming reports that members of Tebow’s own camp privately told him that his days in the league are “probably over.”

1) Tebow is not ready to step in anywhere as a starting NFL quarterback.

2) No team wants the disruptive, replace-the-incumbent-starter-demanding media circus that would immediately surround Tebow as their #2 or #3 quarterback.

3) Very few teams would be willing to put up with the same circus surrounding a somewhat talented #2 or #3 running back or tight end, even if Tebow were willing to switch to one of those position.

4) There might be a few major media market teams who are put off by Tebow's outspoken Christianity - though it didn't deter the Jets. There are not enough of these to deny him an NFL job, however.

5) Thus, the relatively non-disruptive (purple drank and all) Jamarcus Russell has a better chance of getting another NFL job than Tebow does.

The first thing I thought when I saw the headline: This sounds like wishful thinking from the writer, I have strong doubts about the truth of anything in this article.

My thoughts exactly. Good for Tebow. The NFL stinks.

He should retire, buy a place near the beach, learn to surf and play guitar...

If and when he retires from football (this article sounds like bunk), he already has a second and more worthy career that won't focus on surfing or guitar playing......

I'm not enough of a fan to evaluate his skill package.

Can you explain to me why he was (seemingly) successful with Denver after he took over, and yet "everybody knows" he lacks the skills?

Being only a casual fan of the NFL, my opinion is probably worth everything I’m charging for it (i.e. nothing). But I think Tebow would make a pretty good tight end.

But not for the Packers.

Tebow's a tough guy, a natural leader, and a good athlete. He is also, like Andre Ware and many others also not a good NFL level quarterback and comes with a lot of distractions to a team between the media and his following. He's not the first outspoken Christian to be in the pro's. Kirk Cousins is a likely future starter and a potential star currently backing up RGIII (also a Christian). Jon Kitna lasted 15 years. Reggie White was a minister. Kurt Warner won the Super Bowl and made the Cardinals a good team.

Most college stars - especially quarterbacks - don't make the pros. Tebow's part of the majority. QB busts.

He's a Christian - they hate that!

Now, if he were a gay Muslim, teams would be lining up to sign him.

Probably the best position for him.

My question was a serious one.

Can anyone who follows the game better than I do explain why his half-season and playoff record in Denver doesn't make him an "NFL-level QB"?

Everybody says it, but I don't understand what they are talking about.

I don’t understand his unwillingness to explore playing some sort of FB/TE/slot receiver. He could be a beast on special teams as well. He must not want to play that badly.

If he was just queer, they would find a place for him.

If he was a good quarterback, they would find a place for him.

Oh my. Drew brees better watch himself. He is a big time out Christian. However, he does have an additional trait....he is a great quarterback.

I am so surprised by my fellow conservatives on here. It seems like they expect the NFL to have an affirmative action program for quarterbacks who are not that good but are Christians. Seriously the NFL is FULL of Christian Quarterbacks. This is amazing that we are not discussing skills in football. I cannot imagine any team not wanting Tebow if he was a great quarterback. The NFL is a business and could care less of his religious affiliation. If the Football teams did not want Christians then Drew Brees specifically would have been shown the door years ago.

They are destroying the game - my son was at practice last week, got a bloody nose - bled like a stuck pig so took him to ER for an extra a check to make sure all was ok.

The nurse says they “treat all injuries above the neck as concussions - as he cannot play sports for a week” For a bloody nose.

Took him over to his own doctor and got him cleared but treating a bloody nose as a concussion is getting to over the top.
