Speculation is swirling: Jaguars? Dolphins? Packers? Bills? Mystery team?
This almost reminds me of the week before the 2010 NFL Draft, when we were wondering which team would take Tebow.
Here's a really good take from Peter King, affirming a few things I strongly agree with:
(1) Tebow can be and should be an essential contributor to a winning football team.
(2) That doesn't necessarily mean Tebow would start full-time at QB.
(3) The right fit for Tebow is with a head coach secure in his position and innovative in his schemes.
What is the ideal outcome here? That Tebow is a starting QB in the NFL? That he makes tangible contributions to a winning team? That his team wins a Super Bowl? There are a lot of paths to success -- I know Tebow wants to be a starting QB in the league, and he has shown he can be successful in that role. He has earned the chance to compete, and he has shown a limitless capacity to work hard and learn.
I also know he wants to contribute however he can, and when he is finally on a team that wants him (unlike the Broncos), making that contribution in whatever way the coach can dream up (and hopefully the coach is plenty creative in doing it) will be a satisfying next chapter in Tebow's NFL career.
BTW, here's another read: The Redskins have been on zero radars and just forked over a trove of draft picks to position themselves to draft Robert Griffin III as their QB of the present and future, but in the Washington Post, I laid out the case for why trading for Tebow makes sense for D.C.

If everything works out the way I think it will, Tim will play for Jacksonville or Miami. It all makes sense in the grand scheme of things which I won't get into. Too bad #15 is already taken in JAX/Miami. Otherwise the stars would lined up perfectly. I'm excited. Can hardly wait til he's officially free from Denver.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to cool off on the idea of "bring Tebow back to Florida". I kinda like Buffalo. The #15 is available, and I think Bill would make a good name for his dog.
DeleteAnd now the Jets are in the mix too. It will be exciting to see how this plays out. Can you imagine Tebowmania in NYC?
ReplyDeleteOh gawd, please not NYC. I can't believe the Jets are even contemplating this. Obviously they're not shying away from the hype/circus. yikes.
DeleteDan, thanks for giving us this home to vent our Tebow feelings. These are mine: I'm a bit excited about several of the teams that are supposedly interested in him, and I almost wish he could go to more than one!
