Patriots sign Tim Tebow

[skullguise]

Apparently true.  Not guaranteed money, which is good.....

Heard that they may try him out at Tight End.....

[agile_one]

Somehow, I knew this would happen. Will make for a very interesting camp, season, and locker room. I believe it will work out well for all, and TT should start all games vs Denver and the Jets.

Always thought the Jets should use him at TE...

[skullguise]

I heard he doesn't have the hands to be a good TE (at least not the Patriots receiver-type TE).  I think he'd be a decent half-back with blocking skills.....

 

But if the Belichik and the other coaches can teach him, so much the better, he seems to be an overall good athlete.  Belichik should also be able to minimize the circus of media around Tebow, too.

 

Or.....

 

He could still be a bust and get released before the season even starts.

Well, at least we know he's not competing for the starting QB job.  I don't get whey they're wasting anything on him, time money or otherwise but what do I know? 

[raffy]

Belichick has a history of successfully polishing turds so that might be it. However, I don't think Tebow is polishable. Nice guy, absolutely - NFL QB, not so much. Sorry to be blunt but we all know the truth.

How funny is it that after Denver Tebow goes to two cities that couldn't care less about Tim Tebow's religious zeal.

[Aura]

When will this fucker leave the NFL so he can start his real career in something media-related? Seriously, he wasn't meant to play football. People love him for so many reasons outside of the context of the sport. It's just been the mechanism that's helped him along the way. 

 

For the record, I don't real have much of an opinion on him either way. 

[morphsci]

I actually think this will be a good fit. Also raised my opinion of the Patriots a little (very little).

[The Monkey]

I can't help but hope that he succeeds.  I have no idea why.

^^ Jets fans probably see it as an indictment of the lunacy of their organization if Tebow does well somewhere

 

Lots of chit-chat on the radio in Boston, already getting fucking annoying.  The 2-6 slot on our local sports talk radio has a near-fan-boy (Mike Felger) who riles things up with visions of Tebow playing alongside Brady.  At least the morning people recognize it for what it is and decide to talk little about that and more about hockey.

[Sherwood]

Great guy, I'm sure, but I could not stand him as a quarterback.  i was thrilled when he left Denver, and I was utterly unbothered by his personal evangelism.  

 

Seriously, though, having him run your team is hell.  It was like having your car running on 4 spare little donut tires, and every time you arrive safely at a destination people around you look stunned and say "Wow, how about that, it worked out again."  There's a reason sports movies usually confine themselves to one miracle -- if you rely on a miracle week after week, it starts to feel like you're just not preparing well.

[morphsci]

The Patriots may want to use him at tight end, Just Sayin'.

[The Monkey]

Now that Aaron Hernandez has shot everyone who has ever entered a club on the eastern seaboard.

[morphsci]

Yeah, I don't think they will have to worry about that with Tebow. Can you get arrested for trying to baptize someone?

[skullguise]

Pre-season game and all, but Tim Tebow just QB'd a touchdown drive.....don't know if I should be happy or cry.......
