I was hoping that Belichick would do this when Tebow was with the Pats.
They could have used him in so many ways and I think Belichick could have come up with a large number of plays to really confuse some defenses. Tebow just wanted to be a football player in the NFL. I would have taken him at his word and used him as a slot back, a decoy, a place kick holder, a motion man to help with blocking...anything.
You just don't let someone with that much heart get away.
Oh well.
No, Tebow said he wanted to be an NFL quarterback. If anybody could have found a way to use him otherwise it would have been Belichick but that's not what Tebow wanted.
The Pats reluctantly released Tebow. They saw potential in him, as a leader, if nothing else. Can you imagine if they had been able to finish his training and stuck him in with that running game occasionally? If he had become credible as a passer and still could run, who do you cover?
If Belechick thought that Tebow had the talent to contribute in a meaningful enough fashion to justify designing plays around him then don't you think he would have kept him? The fact that the poorly managed organization like the Jets may not have found a reason to keep Tebow isn't necessarily damning. The fact that a highly successful organization like the Patriots didn't is. Tebow is not an NFL level quarterback. He never has been. He never will be.
He only wants to be a QB. Otherwise, he refuses to play. Look it up.
