He was a QB so he knew all the plays and where everyone should be. I don't think Orton ever targeted him but I've tried real hard to make sure I can't remember Orton and McHurricane.Quote:

Im not exactly thrilled with this, but I must admit the kid is a winner when he plays. Team first guy, gets it done when needed, and lets be honest, the dude can run the ball. Cant really hold his performance with the Jets against him considering they were basically trying to make him look like shit.
Regardless of the media shitshow (which you know Belichek wont let stand), as mentioned above 6+, 240 and an run a 4.7 is going to be useful. I'm pegging him as a FB/Kevin Faulk replacement.
He's bigger than Hernandez (well taller, 6'3" to 6'1", they weigh about the same) and faster than Gronk...should be something he can do out there.
edit: I just looked it up and Tebow, Gronk and Hernandez are all at about 4.7
He's annoying as all fuck thats for sure.
But he's not going to shoot up a strip club, kill his baby momma, or do any number of things dumb NFL players seem to be known for these days.
He's a worse running back than any RB in the NFL with a job. Find me a rb with his three cone and 40 time. They got him to be a backup qb. He gets to learn from the coach and coordinator who made Matt Cassel serviceable. Brady could last 2 year's or 6 years.Quote:

He is not a QB and will not be magically turned into one. Brady and Mallet can throw the ball Tebow can't. He can't read defenses and has no ability to go through progressions and he didn't get any better when he played. He's not good in practice but he's a "gamer," but that can't change the fact that he sucks as a NFL QB. The fact that the Broncos and Jets didn't see him as a QB speaks volumes.Quote:

Yeah, sorry neufox, theres absolutely no way they got him to be a backup QB.
I mean, its all just armchair speculation at this point, but.. he's gonna be a FB or a TE
It's funny that they are just trying to find a place for Tebow since he is such an icon now. It's like, "hey he's in the NFL and sucks at what he was hired for but we can shoehorn in him into a position that there are probably way more talented people out there to fill, because he's Tebow.
For the relatively little they'll pay him - 2 years, $630k and $730k per - they probably get that back from the free publicity/hype translating into more merchandise and gameday revenue.Quote:

I'll help, but I think you're forgetting
Tirerentersonly.com
they advertise it near me, on TV during baseball game replays, in english. I'm baffled because there's maybe 200 non-hispanic farmers around (they own the land)Quote:

I was telling a co-worker earlier today that I want one asap just because there's so much hate surrounding him. .. ;-)Quote:

EDIT** Looks like he's wearing number 5, sounds like a QB or K number to me...
I'd put money on at least one end-around or reversal happening this season with him lining up outside or in the slot and eventually throwing it downfield...
May I live to see Tebowing and Bradying at the same time.

Check his name tag.
Handsome fellow. I have to check my name tag from time to time too.
Austin Collie worked out with the Pats I guess. Before his injury, he was pretty productive and could be a great addition for Brady.
Just heard it was no guarantee signing. Well, it takes up a roster spot but it does make sense to bring him on for free.
this news baffled me from the start. at first i thought it could be bb just trying to get an edge by making teams spend even a little time of their game prep preparing for some wildcat type plays. then i thought about the "other position" theory and heard a few ex players talk about how hard it would be to go to TE/HB/whatever without ever really playing that positon. i think i'm going with the theory that bill and josh may be a little arrogant and think they can mold him into some type of qb for when brady leaves. in 2 years, if he shows progress they keep him, trade mallet, turn the gillete lighthouse tower into a church steeple and hope
(pray) for the best.
