The Jets stint doesn't even count as training, it's a testament to Tebow's fortitude that he didn't beg for them to dismiss him from the team. Not to mention what happened to the team after he left? Oh yeah the stunk and they canned the coach.

Romo was developed by the Cowboys for 3 years before he played a full season. Tebow was thrown into the mix in his 2nd year with the Broncos.

By the way Phil Simms first 2 years with the Giants he had completion percentages of 50.6 and 48.0. He didn't break 55.0% until his 6th year. Eli Manning cmp% 48.2 52.8. and they had full near full seasons their first 2 years.

As a Tebow fan I'd like to see him get the opportunity to play. I think he got a raw deal especially the trade to the Jets. At this point I hope the Eagles can keep him and get him some play time. This is probably Tebow's last chance with the NFL unless he can land a CFL gig if the Eagles don't work out.

Tebow was a first round draft pick, Romo was an undrafted free agent.

The only person who can control that is Tebow himself. If he can't perform in camp then there is no reason to keep him.

With the larger field, three downs, and separation between offensive and defensive lines, the CFL is even more of a passing game than the NFL is. And passing is one of Tebow's weaker areas. So I don't see any CFL team being interested.
