Tebow

[woodbuck27]

I just posted this on PFT as much as I dislike reducing this thought to writing, we should always have one of the best back ups in light of Rodgers concussion history. I think of Aikman retiring as a result, but the league will not allow things to get that far these days. Just sayin'

Realistically the Packers are 'ONLY' as good as the quality of Aaron Rodger's backup.

If Tebow has a successful career, this thread may surpass the Brett thread in number of posts.

So it's back on page one. I felt with the Bronco's addition of Peyton Manning 'the TEBOW THREAD' needed a revival.

I had to go back to about page eight to find it. The Favre thread?

I wonder how deep in our Archives that thread is. (-:

WOW! The weather here has been amazing. It was close to 74 Degree F (24 Celcius) here yesterday and great for yard work.

Mae and I got so much done and it looks great this morning.

It's forcast to go to 25 Degree Celcius Wed. and Thurs. That's 77 Degrees F. Amazing. (-:

Thanks Mad. Now I can get up to speed with everyone else here on the Jukebox thread in Romper Room. Post fancy. Conform.

I trust you more pleased with the Free Agency thread. It just makes good sense and sure cut down on my work. (-:

Talking heads said Tebow would be a good backup for Arod...

Don't they realize we typically draft QBs when we have an elite one - or keep an aging, grizzled vet on board. Last thing GB needs is Tebow imo.

Tebow is the same as a rookie QB. Neither know how to play QB at this level yet. With AR starting you have the luxury of bringing Tebow along as a QB same as we did with Flynn. Same as we'd do with any other QB. Tebow seems coachable at least. I wouldn't be opposed to the move so long as the compensation was appropriately low, and he were stashed below Graham Harrell on the depth chart until he learns how to throw a football at an NFL level with NFL consistency.

Twitter world is now convincing itself that Tebow has a good shot to go to the Packers. Mort, Schefter and Wilde are all on board that T2 and M3's praise in advance of last year's draft is evidence of interest.

They always forget their own rules; never trust anything anyone says right before the draft.

Tyler Dunne summarized it quite well on the JSO Packers blog. After acknowledging that both TT and MM praised Tebow before the draft, and might generally want to work with him. he stated:

The Packers brass frowns upon distractions of all kinds. They don't roll the dice on polarizing veterans and they usually steer clear of bombastic personalities. Of course, Tebow is neither. This is completely different. But even with the league's MVP under center here, the Tebow bandwagon would follow. Maybe McCarthy likes Tebow, but he likes his team being a well-oiled, distraction-free machine more. They're not going to invite madness.
...
The Packers are much more likely to quietly use a draft pick on a more conventional quarterback fit for this offense.

I like Tim Tebow, but not in Green Bay. The last thing we need is the winter HQ of the circus moving to town. We have enough problems/challanges this year.

Dunne is playing it straight. Both Wilde and Silverstein (esp. Wilde) were posting credulous Tweets about Mort and Schefter saying the Packers would be interested. Wilde had Mort on his rdio show. Now Wilde and Spoon are stunned this has caused an uproar. Reap what you sow boys.

Sometimes I think writers and reporters are not aware of their own business model.

I don't see Tebow ending up in Green Bay. That contract is prohibitive if you're not going to give him any chance to start whatsoever (and we're not) and what incentive does he have to take a paycut, when there's probably a QB poor team that will pay him most or all of it, and that team will actually give him an incentive to play. If you get traded to a team like Green Bay, you can hold the clipboard for a year for $1.1m, and you can force a trade or a release by being unwilling to reduce by 80% or more the $6m you're due in the 2013 season.

The only way I see Tebow in Green Bay is if he's cut, clears waivers, and gets lukewarm interest as a free agent and TT signs him for cheap.

This is so funny. Tebow in Green Bay. He took the BRONCOS to the playoffs. One packer fan (maybe rightfully so). Has him at number three in the depth chart. Funnier things have happened but Tebow and Packers.

NO.

Even in that scenario, he is far more valuable to other franchises than to the Packers or Patriots. The only way I can see it happening is if he lobbies to go to an already stocked franchise and accepts a backup role and contract. But there will be at least one suitor offering him starting money (Jacksonville), if not more.

News today reveals 'he want to go home'. Somewhere in Florida. Jacksonville? He'll sell the joint out.

Tebow is a team player, but to go from starting QB to backup / change of pace is asking alot. In our offence he would take on a halfback role, which could work well as he has great hands (so i've read). I hope the people around him encourage him to be a starter somewhere.
