Tim Tebow's problems with his mechanics aren't due to a lack of practice or efforts to change them, they are due to his reverting to his lifetime form when he is in real game situations, and no amount of practice will cure that without real game experience. And if you are a fan of Tebow you better hope he decides to go to the CFL because he isn't getting a job in the NFL without it, and one more year in the booth and he is done.
And yes, if he refuses to go to the CFL or play in any other league then it is definitely a matter of entitlement if he is being honest about becoming a starting NFL QB as his real goal.
I agree that this is the best path forward for him, if he's serious about getting back to the NFL as a QB. However long it takes for him to become comfortable with effective throwing mechanics, he needs to spend that time. Following that, he'll need to get game experience in which his primary objective is to maintain that form. Once he demonstrates that he can play and be effective without reverting to the form that renders him unable to consistently hit relatively basic NFL throws, I could see someone taking a shot with him.
On a side note, I really don't get why people are all over Christiancat's case for not being a 'real' Pats fan. He's openly acknowledged that he's first and foremost a Tebow fan, but so what. There are all sorts of posters who are fans of other teams and players, and as long as they contribute to the discussion and are generally pleasant, we welcome them. Why should this case be any different?
