Re: Should Denver have kept Tebow?(merged-please no more)
We shouldn't forget that McDaniels is the guy who drafted him. Belichick interviewed him before the draft and said some pretty complimentary stuff about him last year when most of the media was trashing him. Tebow is a connection with the Urban Meyer Florida championship teams that Belichick was such a fan of that he drafted Spikes, Hernandez and Cunningham off the squad. And Belichick does love a charity case, especially when it's about rescuing top talent from bad coaching and bad franchises.
Tebow is not a credible QB and he doesn't fit our system as a QB anyway. But he's a athlete and a natural football player, who can do some damn impressive stuff on the field. Belichick has been looking for a third TE or a FB... Tebow could be that. Brady, Gronk, Hernandez, Tebow, Ridley and Welker... it looks scary good to me as a "power passing" package.
But, hell, I'm good either way. I think BB is going to draft a third stud TE in the 2013 draft. Zach Ertz would be nice, in which case, we wouldn't have a meaningful role for Tebow even if you really want to be creative.
