Why did this team sign Tebow?

[Arrington Planet]

Loving these posts gloating about 'Teblow' having a bad game.

Sure is awesome when someone on my team looks bad so I feel like I'm in the right, right guys?

Sure is awesome when a player you don't want to make the roster because he's worse than malaria plays like crap making even more clear that he has to go.

This isn't even a regular season game. I don't see the problem with not wanting a certain player to make the roster.

I heard the LA Kiss are looking for a QB....

I heard the Philadelphia soul are looking for a mascot.

Nope. We just want the delusional Tebow (NOT Patriots) fans to shut up finally and stop derailing the entire board.

there's going to be a lot more pressure on BB and McD this week...from the fanbase AND the media. I prefer to stay level headed and LOOK behind the abysmal showing for the plays they called . I've seen a lot of reps at practice with Tebow. He threw an INT down the middle tonight that came about because he strongarmed it. That's a sign of pressing. The mechanics were good though.The outcome?...unacceptable...and Tebow and the coaches KNOW that.It's a preseason game...it don't count. Learn from it.

The first series they deliberately had Tebow throw a medium pass to his right. It was preposterous. It's been just like that all camp. A couple of days ago I watched all his reps and they never had him even attempt a throw to his right. They called that play tonight for a reason, and I think they founds out what they already knew. He's got a bad flaw mechanically on throws to his right. We already KNOW this....so, again, it's a teaching point. He has a definite issue that he needs to work and work and work.

The second series, he rolled to the left and threw a horrible pass, short into the turf. I'll bet you all were watching him from the waist up...I watched his feet....when the replay comes out that we can slo mo, look at it...his footwork was all fakked up...again. He does this half the time on those rollouts to the left. THAT was one of those where he did NOT plant and throw. When he doesn't , THAT is what happens. They already know this too.

He had a couple of decent throws between the hashes that went incomplete, but i thought he looked fine mechanically on.Those on the field weren't the starters, they were depth players trying to make the roster too. We don't really know if it was on Tebow or the receivers on some of these p[lays, but the body language certainly seemed to indicate the arrow points at Tebow.

My take is this...if this was any other prospective 3rd QB I'd make sure my hotel bill was paid.Any other season and the Pats carry 2 QB's going into the first game. Tebow is a different animal though. They(the staff) didn't really seem concerned or upset at any point in the 2nd half when the offense was on the field. They let him take his lumps, they called some runs so he could get some contact, which it seems he looks for, and all in all, it was a lot of reps that they'll break down and work him some more on. I know it's frustrating for a lot of us , because as Pats fans , we KNOW what top echelon quarterbacking is...and Tebow ain't it.

someone adjust this survey so we can see how many new accounts were created to vote for tebow 77 times.

 

[RayClay]

Hate to say it, but I think he is so bad it will affect the credibility of the franchise if he makes the team. Imagine if you busted your ass and were one of the last cuts?

Yes Ray...I am pulling a Jake. If Tebow was playing for his roster life tonight, he died. I agree.

That was among the worst QB performances I have seen in many years.
If you put Tebow in the Patriot offense and call the same plays you do for Brady, he might throw 40 Ints.
He can't throw the football, making excuses for him, and calling his mechanics good is just ridiculous.

it's not "beat out", it's who has the bad luck to get cut...

What I cannot make sense of is the concept that we want a developmental 3rd string QB who is a year older than the 2nd string QB and the 64 oldest player on the current roster.

How exactly do you yell at Jamie Collins to step up when you have a guy 5 years his senior in the corner being developed with no expectations.

It is very very hard to have a passer rating of 0.0 in an entire half as an NFL QB

The passer rating formula must not allow negative numbers as a passer rating.

I never thought I would have a reason to learn that.
