Tebow's plummeting stock
 
Signs pointing against Tim Tebow - AFC West Blog - ESPN

This is very odd considering Denver was looking to trade Kyle Orton very recently, but if Tebow doesnt see much playing time this season I wonder if we could get him for a rather low price. Next season Hoyer might be gone, if so it makes sense to have a 3rd, developmental QB waiting in the wings. There's no place better to learn to play QB than in New England, Tebow can be a potential heir or more likely trade bait to a QB hungry team down the road.

Go Kyle Orton!

Kyle Orton is a far better QB than Tim Tebow in the NFL. I'm not sure what in the hell McDaniels was thinking when he drafted him.

Orton to Lloyd has been spectacular.

uh....no......Mallett is a far better QB for the Pats then Tebow will ever be. Love the guys attitude and intangibles.....but if we have extra snaps to use, let it be Mallett.

Agreed, McDaniels has been awful at judging talent and personnel decisions.

Go Kyle Orton!

We want to get him for a good price because he's a failure?

I agree 100% that priority would be given to Mallett, he has a MUCH higher liklihood of success, but still, if I could grab Tebow for a 6th or 7th round pick I think it'd make sense to see if any spaghetti would stick to the wall.

No We have Te's and Rb and a developmental/backup qb no spot for Tebow. great college player not an NFL talent esp at QB. perhaps H Back somewhere. we already have his teammate from Fl Hernandez for that role.

1 - Just because someone "fails" in one place doesnt mean they can't succeed in another. Vrabel is a perfect example of this.

2 - Just because a player, in arguably THE most difficult position in football, has a crappy first year doesnt mean they can't develop later on.

3 - One doent get value by always buying at retail, the real profit is made when you can get something for very little, fix it up, and then sell it to others for retail. Matt Cassel is a great example of this, though I still think we could have done a wee bit better than we did. Taking a 7th round pick, getting a very solid season from him, and then trading him for a high 2nd round pick was an EPIC WIN.

Another thread destined for the practice squad. Gawd, the season cannot get here fast enough.

McDaniels has a terrible track record as a personnel guy. He let Hillis go among MANY other talented players, wasted a draft pick trading for Maroney, not to mention those terrible draft picks from 2005-2008 that were offensive players he worked out.
