My brother sent me that...and I was like WTF!?!?


As a Cowboy fan, I hope he stays as long as possible!

You know, the Eagles and the Giants have been saying that about Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones for years. So only the Giants are not screwed by ownership or the coach at this point...:hmm:

But that's OK because I have it on good authority that Chip Kelley is packaging Tebow, a Jesus Lizard, and a sack of deflated footballs for Marcus Mariota.

I think its a long shot that Tebow makes the final roster, especially if the Eagles draft a QB.

If they waste a pick on a QB, they are truly stupid. Why would they work to get another QB?

Tebow is a great, cheap insurance policy to have a QB athletic enough to run the option and a fast paced offense in the even buttfumble and glass knees go out of commission. And, it isn't like they have to worry about Tebow being a moron off the field.

Agreed that Tebow is a clean cut guy. But he stinks as an NFL QB. I don't see any value in him.

And while I like quality guys, let's all be honest and admit each and every sports fan is a hypocrite. You know we'd all love Lawrence Taylor on our team when he was in his prime. Same with Ndamukong Suh or Michael Irving. Morons and meatheads, but damn can they play football.

I agree about ignoring off field idiocy, but a good guy can help a team a lot. Chad Hennings is someone who comes to mind. He wasn't spectacular on the field, but his attitude and work ethic helped make others better and he had a spot on the Cowboys because of it.

As far as a Tebow, he is a very cheap (and likely humbled after being bounced around and cut) insurance policy for some QBs with questionable reliability. As a third stringer, he is just fine, so long as he shows up and works out like he is trying to win the starting job.

Looks like this offseason's workout schedule theme is all about feeling "disrespected" by your team. So much disrespect going around apparently.

Is it just me or does the NFL feel a lot like the WWF of old these days?

If the NFL enters the attitude era or the Monday Night wars, I'm all for it. Those were the golden days of wrestling.

Tebow is decent with a team that he can use.
He clicked somewhat with Denver - playoff win.

With the Jets - we are talking about the Jets... :biggrin:

He apparently was thought to not fit in with NE plans/schemes.

Kelley is enough of a maverick that may be able to mold a team that can utilize Tebow's talents.

And if he is able to show promise; there are enough lousy QB teams still around that his stock could go up.

I, for one, am ecstatic that 90% of NFL coverage this year will again be about Tebow.

I don't think the problem is so much finding a coach to mold a team around Tebow's talents. I think the problem is finding a coach that can mold Tebow's talents around a team... like, maybe being a running back, or a linebacker, or something of that sort. But he's got this silly notion that he's a quarterback stuck in his head.

Tebows biggest problem was he was horrible in practice. Like CRAZY bad. His mechanics were all over the place and his muscle memory was always bringing him back to his bad habits. Best thing for him was not playing and concentrating on mechanics.


I dont think its bad signing. league wide there is an issue with depth at QB and the iggles dont want to be AZ in the playoffs next year and being forced to use somebody with zero shot.

Sombody this morning had an article about Tebow's bad practice habits. Been an issue his whole career even in college.





Randy Gregory lost weight again as he visits teams. Rumor out there that he showed up high to his espn workout though nobody wants to print it. He slurred his speech a few times during the interview. Its being whispered around the league though. Was totally right about him being overrated.



Was totally right about Breshaud Perriman rising up the ranks before the draft. He now looks like a first rounder.

Looks like a video of Sapp being arrested has surfaced. Appears he tackled both the prostitutes to prevent them from leaving the room. Looks like his commentator career is over for a while.
