I don't see Tebow as an option QB, he runs more like a fullback. He's got all the basic ingredients of a good dropback AQ for the pros, tall enough to see and throw over linemen, tough to the point of being nearly indestructible, a rifle arm and any minor flaws in throwing technique easily fixable. His only real problem is being a Christian.

And I believe any remaining interest I might have had in the NFL has just evaporated. They've just lost me as a customer.

Seeing the plight of many former NFL players in their later years, Tebow may realize 30 years down the road, that this was for the best. He still has his health intact....and they way he played, he takes a lot of punishment.

I don't agree with your last point. I wanted him to find a place with the Pats, but he is very inaccurate as a thrower and his defensive reads are too slow. This was true even with Josh McDaniels, who is Pat's offensive coordinator and a big Tebow fan (he drafted and coached him in Denver) there to help out. Good QBs, and some bad ones, usually look great in preseason. Tebow did not. He had trouble hitting open receivers, and he was so slow on his defensive reads that he kept getting sacked despite his mobility and strength. I had hoped he could be an old style "triple threat" back--pass, catch, run.

It's true that the Pats only gave him a chance on the passing part, but that's what they needed, and being a QB was his stated goal. I think he's only effective in a mostly run and option offense, which tends towards a short career because of injuries.

His being an out-front Christian may have led to bad vibes in NYC, but I didn't see it as a factor in NE.

Look at the bright side, he still has as many playoff wins as Tony Romo.
