Tebow Outplays Barkley For Possible 3rd Slot on Eagles

Up to now he’s mostly been in Q3 and Q4 with the 2nd and 3rd string OL. Still think they out to think about trading Sanchez. Eagles look good this year.

It’s been a head-scratcher seeing Kelly drop the Eagles’ two franchise players, McCoy and Jackson. Next thing you know, the Eagles are rated as having a 10% chance of winning the Superbowl!
So, ya gotta respect the idea that Kelly actually knows what he’s doing. If Sam Bradford can play a full season . . .
If Bradford can stay on the field, then Sanchez will be moot, and Tebow/Barkley even more so. If not, it could be real interesting. Sanchez never really made his mark with the Jets, and if Kelly can rehab him - and Bradford - why not Tebow? Certainly, it’s Kelly’s call - but Tebow has the higher ceiling, presumably. 3rd string QB is a developmental position anyway - and it was possible for Denver to win a playoff game with Tebow, even before he upgraded his release.
While it’s certainly true that Tebow can run, Mark Sanchez isn’t exactly immobile himself. Thing is, neither Sanchez nor Tebow would be attractive to other teams until/unless they develop a track record with the Eagles, which could only happen if Bradford went down again. Hate to see that, either - and if he were badly injured again, wouldn’t the Eagles feel the need for very good backups on a permanent basis??

He definitely out played Barkley so if Chip Kelly keeps 3 qb's Tebow should be in. Unless that putts Goodell intervenes.

I'm a Rams fan. I can tell you that Bradford WILL get injured (though I hope he doesn't and wish him success . . . good trade for both teams).

Sanchez will get people's hopes up for a game or two, before returning to form.

Tebow will get his chance.

Kelly keeps Tebow > Bradford re-injured > Sanchez ineffective (per usual) > Tebow leads Iggles to playoffs > Iggles win SB50 (Tebow MVP)

That would be awesome, I would love to see it! Stick fingers in the eyes of haters.

John Elway

Elway wasn't much better when he first got into the nfl. Short term memory on his part

He had some pretty good games with Denver...

He had some pretty terrible ones as well.

And then gives up football for a cabinet position in President Lindsey Graham's administration.

Elway got better. Tebow didn't.

But more wins than losses.

Yes but mostly good because he took Denver to the playoffs at least.

it took elway years to get ‘better’ far more time than tebow has been given

And I'd say Tebow is out of chances.

If I was advising Tebow (assuming he wanted to stay in football) I’d recommend coaching.

Jim Harbaugh (another NFL qb) got hired for $5m/yr at Michigan.

I think Tim has the “right stuff” for that career path.
