Tebow released

[Ivan]

I honestly think this is in Tebow's best interests. If he is serious about someday becoming a starting QB in the NFL again then he should find CFL team with a really good OC/QB coach, or head coach with the same qualities, go to Canada and win a starting job so he can get the real game reps to change his mechanics and game to the point where he can actually throw the ball with the accuracy of an NFL QB, which he clearly cannot at this point in time. He is clearly a hard worker and fan favorite and NFL teams would give him another shot in a couple of years if he could show that he was a much improved QB.

The Patriots gave him a fair shot and he didn't win a job, good decision by Belichick, I would have been bummed if he cut better players and kept Tebow.

What a complete and utter waste of offseason snaps for Mallett.

Maybe having Tebow here gave Mallet a little push. Because he seemed to improve a bit. I have no hate what so ever for Tebow and his followers. They were some of the nicest posters we've had here. We all don't have to be football geniuses to hang here. And most had pretty thick skin. I feel a little bad for him, wish he could have made it. He really worked hard and tried to improve. He was no distraction and his teammates liked him. But this is a tuff business. Good luck Teebs and his fans. Your all welcome back as far as I'm concerned,.

He already improved his zip. He used throw wobbly intermediate passes. So he's already improved on that.

Very impressive zip there, skippy. Yup, we were all impressed with that "improvement".

11 of 30 for 145 yards QB Rating of 47.2

Makes me nostalgic for Hugh Millen.

The Tebow silence is odd. Nothing from his twitter account. No press release.
Might want to hang on there haters.
Just sayin..... :yeeha:

My hope was that Tebow could be developed into a valuable trade commodity that could be benefit the Pats down the line.

In the interim, I felt it was a great situation to have Tebow around the locker room for his very high character, for his leadership value and because of other very important intangibles that he possesses such as work ethic and love for the game. I felt such traits were also a very positive thing for impressionable, young fans who also follow this team.

I am disappointed that it didn't work out but am clearly in the "it is what it is" camp.

You miss my point. We all know Tebow has been cut. Zoltan Mesko was also cut and has already issued a statement through his facebook page. Tebow, who is a national media star and has over 2 million twitter followers has said nothing in over 3 hours. Please keep in mind that these rosters are never "set" and moves made today are reversible at any time.

Toyin' with the haters is fun.

Of all the messianic references made, I believe this is the moment for the following from Handel's Messiah...

Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Hallelujah Chorus - YouTube

Hell, I'm Jewish, and felt like listening to this all the way through.

And if BB and company think there's something to him, bring him back in, stash him on the bench or something, and try to develop him, they're still right. That said, thank God for the time being at the very least. Sometimes it ain't easy drinking the kool-aid.

OK, I really don't hate him, but This belongs here.

Sorry my sense of humor is lacking right now due to my allergies.

In other news Jests have cut McElroy. Anyone think the Jests might take a second chance on Tebow? Especially given their QB situation.

Mods pulled the plug before Last Rites could be delivered

Holy cow! Rigor Mortis hadn't even set in on the dearly departed Tim Tebow before the moderators shut down my second favorite thread, "Re: Has Tim Tebow earned a roster spot on the Patriots?"

I went over there to say "Aloha, Mr Hand," to Tebow and his followers and was shut out! I hope none of you gentlemen and ladies work for the county coroner. You'd start the autopsy before the departed finished his last meal.

Shouldn't there be like a cooling off period before a thread like that gets shut down, say the amount of time it would take a player to clean out his locker and feed the fish one last time at Bass Pro Shops at Patriot Place?

P.S. My favorite thread is "The Jets Suck" thread - maybe that should be closed too. Like Tebow, what's the point of driving another nail into that coffin?

At least in the daytime.

Slightly off-topic I guess. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere but I don't think I know what it is.

Maybe if they give him five years or so he could improve on his accuracy too.

I was not the one that closed the other thread, but considering today's news and the http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/10/1046812-tebow-released.html thread being started today, was there really any point in the other thread continuing? Personally I don't see the point in having multiple threads debating identical subject matter.

It would be a haven for resurrecting hilarious old posts, which could be glorious or horrible depending which side you're on. Kind of sad for the lack of hilarity.
