Tebow to Pats rumor

[TealSox]

I'd be excited to have Tebow on the team... more so now than I was a couple years back when there was talk that the Patriots would draft him.

As mentioned, there would be no QB controversy as long as Brady is locked up at the Patriots QB and as long as it was clearly stated to the media and the team what role Tebow would play (e.g. not be the QB).

With Welker, Hernandez and Gronk, defenses find themselves in mismatches constantly. Adding Tebow would add a wrinkle that would drive a defensive coordinator crazy. Seriously, how do you account for Tebow, Welker, Gronk and Hernandez - not to mention a running back, a QB sneak or any other receiver?

I do think, overall, Tebow is a distraction. He brings too much attention with him and I don't think Bill wants to have the warmth of that spotlight on this team. If this team is going to be in the spot light, he'll want it to be because they are a team and they are successful. While Tebow isn't all about himself, the media would be.

I think the jets will pick him up

You dont know what you are talking about. Tebow, esentially in his 1st season as a starter, threw for 316 yards in a playoff win against the #1 passing defence.
LOL @" he cant throw the damn ball".

look, it's understandable that you are obviously a huge Tim Tebow fan but that post borders on the ridiculous...in a playoff game versus the Patriots, who were the THIRTY FIRST ranked defense at that time, Tim Tebow threw a flabbergasting NINE completions out of 26 attempts for 136 yards...that has to rank in the top 10 worst playoff passing performances in NFL history....Tebow can "throw" the damn ball...the problem is no one knows where it's going most of the time.

There's no way Tebow wants anything to do with the inside of that locker room.

He has done nothing that earns him a spot in Hell

You and your niece and your entire family put together could not even dream of leading an NFL team to a playoff game win. Nevermind winning a playoff game against the #1 defence, playing behind the worst center in NFL, and having only young and inexperienced WRs to throw to.

I might get burned for my post but I'm going to agree with you here. This about it liked this, what was the dolphins strength in 08 or 09 I believe, the wildcat. Why was it so successful at first, because teams didn't know how to counter the wildcat (Pats included in the first game that season). What happened with their qb however was that he didn't know how to be a "good" passer but he shore as hell ran the ball.

Now say that the Patriots are really in the hunt for him. He could make our offense be a quarter that much more complex. I've have read alot of post from people on this board that say's Brady is getting up there in age and he can't do the long balls. "If" that is the case, why are they signing WR who can stretch the field if he can't make those long throws. Can you imagine Brady doing gimmick plays "statue of liberty" now? Maybe, maybe not. We don't have access to that information so we feed into ideas. Here's an idea or two, can you see Brady lining up as WR and Tebow under center taking the snap or vice versa and throwing bombs. Btw, I do believe that Tebow can throw the long ball pretty well, it's just his middle field play where he pretty much sucks. Tebow can do used so many ways in our offense (Josh), RB, QB, and try WR (we have don't shy away from it, Edleman).

Spread offense with the capabilities of running Wildcat at the same time, what would defense's do... Spread them out and let Brady work the box, I doubt teams would throw the kitchen house at Brady (blueprint to beat Brady, "supposedly". Who knows?

You ask, we deliver!

Are we trying for worst posts ever in this thread?

Practice Squad cuts are needed

Tebow was essentially a rookie, and that is what rookies do, they blow hot and cold. TJ Yates did the same, played very good in the first playoff game, then he threw 3 INT vs Baltimore. Yet there is not talk in Houston that TJ Yates cannot throw the damn football. On the contrary, he is viewed very well, and now he is viewed as a reliable backup and expected to develop and take over if Schaub goes down again. And Yates didnt have the worst center in the league in front of him, nor did he had only young and inexperienced receivers to throw to.

You Tebow haters are very clearly blinded by hate against him. You just recycle that completion % over and over and over and over and over and over again, not taking into account the context.

And Tebow can throw the damn football, he is the highest rated passer in the history of SEC football, he threw for 316 yards in a playoff win against the # 1 passing defence in the league. Brady, who is a veteran in the league, threw for 198 yards vs the Steelers defense in the regular season. And brady had weapons like Welker, Gronk, Hernandez, Branch. Tebow only had young receivers and some invisible TEs.

 

[fnordcircle]

Brady > Tebow. We all know this to be true.

The Patriots were reportedly enamored with Tebow and Josh obviously likes the guy.

What if Tebow coming in allows us to extend Brady's career by working Tebow in 5 or so snaps a game behind center. In the course of a season that's a game's worth of rest. A game less of wear and hits on Brady. Would Brady go for it? We all know he's a competitor.

But Tebow is a guy who is a positive locker room influence and who is a competitor. If the price is right you add that sort of guy to your team, no question.

Ok, this one brought me out of solitary confinement. Thanks for the lesson in logic.

News bulletin, Mr. Tebow will not be a Patriot. It will be very interesting to see what Mr. Elway can get for Mr. Tebow. The Patriots will not be donating.

Brady can be elusive in the pocket, granted, but I know 80 year olds with a limp that could beat his 40-time. That pass from Faulk was a once-in-a-career play. As for Tebow I don't think he's ever caught a pass in a game. He's more suited to be the team chaplin.

I don't hate him, I just think he's not a good fit for us. Wasted roster spot. Bradys still the best.

I'm all for Tebow being on this team. Elway never believed in him from day one. Tebow needs to be on a team with people who has faith in him. I think working behind Brady would help him drastically. All he needs is work on his mechanics & he'll be fine. Boy 2012 will be one unbelievable chase for the Lombardi trophy! There's so many storylines to look forward to for next season.

Tebow would be perfect for the Patriots. He is pretty much unstoppable running in the redzone. He could also relieve Brady on 3rd and short. And he would be learning QB under one of the greats in Brady.

For the clowns who claim that Tebow cannot throw the damn ball, he was the one who made Hernandez into a star in Florida, and he also has the highest passing rating in SEC history. He also threw for 316 yards against the # 1 passing defence in the league in the playoffs. Chew on that, haters.

The problem with Tebow lovers is that they'll tell you everything he's good at but never acknowledge almost everything that he's poor at. It's the yeah but look at this argument.

The problem with Tebow is that he's a winner, he seems like a nice guy but he's also a lousy passing Quarterback and an attention seeker. I'd rather fill out the roster with players who are competent in regards to their role not a jack of all trades master of none. That's a roster composition point, not a Tebow point.

Hell, John Elway upgrading Tebow with Peyton Manning should be enough to tell everyone.

 

[JoeSixPat]

Given the number of righteous fans who are able to read Belichicks mind and know for sure that he has no interest in a player he brought in for a visit pre draft and has openly praised, and who comes from the same coaching tree having played college ball for Urban Myer, I'm kind of hoping things work out and the Patriots actually bring him in.

Word is that there's little market for Tebow in a trade... A 5th rounder at best and given his salary, he might even be cut outright.

If that happened it could be a wake up call for Tebow that the QB position is not in the cards, and if he were open to other roles on a team, I could see the Patriots being very attractive to him.

The same people here who praised McDaniels and Belichick for using 6 foot 5 guy at running back during the playoffs are now convinced that they would never do the same with another 6 foot 5 guy and openly mock the vey notion

The main argument against this ever having a chance at happening is the notion that Tebow only wants to play QB... But getting cut, as at least one former GM seems to think is possible, tends to change a players' perspective quickly.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Brady > Tebow. We all know this to be true.

Sanchez might > Tebow.

If BB/Kraft say I'm wrong, hey, I'm wrong. Until then... no, please God, no

The problem with Tebow "haters" is that no matter how many times you tell them we're not looking at him as a QB, they keep going on about him and his limitations as a passer. This brain freeze that Tebow causes in them elicits such interesting responses as "the problem with Tebow is that he's a winner". Yup. that's not a trait we want on the Patriots.

Joe,

who ahead of the following are you going to start/play Tebow?

QB - Brady      Hoyer      Mallett
RB - Ridley     Vereen     Woodhead
TE - Gronkowski Hernandez  Fells
WR - Welker     Lloyd      Stallworth  Ochocinco  Gonzalez  Slater  Branch Edelman
