Tim Tebow to the Partiots

Yes you read that correctly. Tim Tebow is now a New England Patriot. Now there’s a couple things to understand here. 1. Tom Brady is clearly not looking over his shoulder (but he might want to make sure his offensive line is upright). 2. I don’t expect too many press conferences from Tebow in New England. 3. This is the best place Tebow could have ended up.

While much has been said about Tebow ability or lack thereof to grasp the Quaterback position, when given the opportunity, he can win games (although you may have to sit through 3 quarters of awful football). Now that Tebow will be under the tutelage of Darth Hood and Josh McDaniels (the coach who drafted him) if Tebow does not improve as a Quarterback, it can be safe to say that he could be better utilized at another position.

Whether you like him or not it will be interesting to see how the Patriots try to use Tebow.

Jets Waive Tim Tebow

NFL.com reports The New York Jets announced Monday morning that Tebow was waived after one season with the team. Tebow was told face-to-face by new general manager John Idzik and coach Rex Ryan when Tebow arrived for phase two of the Jets’ offseason program.

Idzik insisted on keeping Tebow through the 2013 NFL Draft in case the Jets could find a trade partner or use for him. After selecting quarterback Geno Smith in the second round, Tebow — not Mark Sanchez — is the odd man out.

Tebow threw only eight passes as a Jet and rushed the ball 32 times, without great effectiveness. Despite awful quarterback play in front of Tebow, Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano never wanted to use Tebow as a starter. And they had no idea how to use him as a backup. The Jets wasted a fourth- and sixth-round pick in exchange for Tebow in a trade last offseason that smacked of ownership involvement.

It’s going to be hard for Tebow to get a job at this stage, much less one with a realistic shot at playing time. He will go through waivers and it’s very likely he won’t be claimed because of his salary. After he clears waivers, Tebow will be free to sign with any NFL team.

Even if Tebow ever rises again, his stay in New York will go down as a huge career setback. Otherwise, his stay with the Jets will be remembered as the beginning of the end of his quarterbacking career.

Jets Trying To Shop Tim Tebow At Combine

The Tim Tebow experiment in New York was a total failure and now the Jets are looking to make sure that this isn’t an issue for the 2013 season. ESPN reports that the Jets will try to shop him at this week’s scouting combine. The first day they can trade him is March 12, so they might keep him until then with the hope that they can swing a deal. Chances are, no one will bite, so they’ll end up releasing him. Tebow is scheduled to make $2.6 million base salary this season and obviously that’s too much for a one trick pony.
