Tebow has a career rushing average of 5.0. Most teams account for a running back that has a rushing average of 5.0.
And, while he cannot throw nearly as well as other quarterbacks, he *can* throw much better than most running backs. Since many teams have a HB option trick play, if Tebow gets the ball in the backfield it at least means that other teams have to *consider* the fact that he can throw it to a guy that's downfield.
So yes, teams will account for Tebow.
It may be easier to answer the question, "What plays do you never run for Tim Tebow?"
My suggestion would be plays that include a pass rush:

If Tebow makes the roster , I think BB will experiment with 2 point conversions. That is a possibility of him getting on the field and playing to one of Tebow's strengths and It does not affect Brady being on the field at all as he wouldn't be on the field anyway .
It's the type of innovation BB loves .
I didnt see anyone worried about him while he averaged 3.2 last year.
All 11 players have to be 'accounted for' but no one is paying special attention to Tim Tebow.
Maybe the reason he only averaged 3.2 ypc is because teams game-planned for him. Or because the Jets just really do suck that bad.
Bradys thirsty, they hand the water bottle off to TTebow who races out between plays to make sure TB is hydrated.Short yardage situation (preferably within the 5 yard line). Brady in the shotgun, Tebow next to him as a RB in shotgun formation. The Pats obviously do this all the time anyway, even with Hernandez. You've got Gronk and Hernandez at TE and Amendola split wide. We know Tebow is terrific on taking those handoffs and pounding ahead for a handful of yards. So they can go direct snap to him. They can use him to block for Brady. They can snap to Brady, fake the handoff to Tebow, and hit Gronk or Hernandez. Or then can direct snap to Tebow and he hits Gronk (a huge target that even Tebow might have a hard time missing) for a short TD.
Brady throws the ball, chief.
Teams game planned for his 2 carries a game?
Wow, there is just no need for reason in your thought process is there?
I just can't think of a scenario in which I would rather have the ball (or a key component of a play) in Tebow's hands over any of the other options we have. If he has value, it is as a 3rd QB who can actually chip in on special teams or be an emergency RB/TE.
Direct snap to Tebow for a run? Rather see a direct snap to Ridley or Vereen.
Snap to Tebow, then he throws it? Good lord, accuracy is arguably MORE important on the goal line, where there's a billion guys crammed into ten square feet and your throwing windows are generally the width of the ball.
This board has now officially become the "them" we laugh at from afar..
This is the fifth Tebow thread running concurrently, did Kafka ever even get a thread of his own???
This guy, at best, is a third string emergency quarterback, he may develop.. but the odds of that happening are slim bordering on none.
Folks who expect some kind of instant offense from him or change of pace are terrifically naive about how things are done here..
Training Camp should become a real circus..
