True and false. He's no Tom Brady or Manning...but he's certainly good enough to be a 2nd or 3rd stringer. Have you seen the talent on these NFL rosters? Of 32 starters...only a handful are superstars and only about 1/2 are decent. He is certainly better than most 2nd and 3rd stringers...and his record proves that. To say that the only reason he wasn't on a roster is because he wasn't good enough is not telling the whole story. There are a LOT of guys that are on rosters that are a LOT worse than him. Just look at JAX....
He probably is good enough to be a replacement guy, but that’s where the cult becomes a problem. Coaches HATE QB controversies more than just about anything. And any time you’ve got Tebow on the bench every incomplete pass by your starter becomes a controversy because he’s got all these personal fans. We saw it for a season and a half in Denver until Fox finally gave up and put him in even though Orton was actually playing pretty well, unfortunately Orton wasn’t getting the wins and Fox eventually skipped his 2nd stringer Quinn to put Tebow in the game. It’s interesting to note that those 13 games are the only time in his career Tebow has ever been higher than 3rd on the depth chart.
If he didn’t bring so much noise with him (totally not his fault) he’d have probably spent the last 2 years in the league somewhere. Probably riding the pine, but hey riding the pine isn’t that bad a thing. A lot of guys have had long lucrative careers on the bench, some of them even get Superbowl rings. He could easily be Matt Flynn, if his followers wouldn’t be so vocal in their lack of acceptance of his limited ability.
