He really is. Tim's a great guy. What you see is what you get.

A terrible NFL QB?

He's an interesting one. Seems to be genuinely nice, but splits locker rooms in half. He's apparently a terrible QB, but coaches all seem to think that they can get more out of their meathead project QB or their journeyman Huard/McCown/Hasselbeck/Detmer brother than a guy like Tebow. As most agree that he simply can't throw a football, I won't argue here. It's the annoying/locker room issue that intrigues me.

In the end, I wonder whether Chip Kelly signing Tebow as a backup QB is more about Tebow or Chip Kelly.

Has Chip Kelly been hacked? Real or fraud, this is genius...

Would post the image, but do not want to feel the gentle kiss of the ban hammer. Language, you know.

The Riley Cooper and Evan Mathis references are sublime.

I've not been paying much attention to the offseason, other than AJ Hawk signing for Cincinnati. What's this about Tebow being a locker room problem?

The story apparently is while almost all people consider him a genuinely likable guy, he's quite divisive in the locker room. Some suggest it's because he gets too much attention for an average player. Some presumably don't like his overtly religious posture (and/or the media attention this gets). It's not clear that any find him unprofessional, but maybe more of a distraction or unnecessary sideshow. Will be interesting to see how this is handled in Philadelphia.

DRAFT DAY.

I can't wait.

Please don't trade out Bill. Or do, it's your choice. Trust the hoodie.

I can't think of one player I like a lot in the 1st round. This is the year to trade out.

Tebow is a good backup QB, you can win games with Tebow as your No.2 (which is something you can't say about the likes of Ryan Lindley who started an actual playoff game). However the media attn he gets is insane and most NFL teams don't like that. It would the prem equivalent of every single sprots program in the UK devoting every minute of punditry to the life and times of Joel Robles.

Will be interesting because of all the head cases (both drafting and being drafted). There is legit talent, but not in the glamour spots. Hope the Saints pick up two top guys at 13 and 31; plenty of talent will slip, so if Loomis and Payton are patient we'll have something to be excited about.

What are your thoughts on this Australian guy at the Niners camp?

Mad amount of head cases this year. Going to be very interesting for sure.

 

[SerenityNigh]

Nothing too surprising in the first round? Would very much enjoy seeing the Saints pick Petty, but not sure if he's a 2/3 pick.

Ted Wells report is out and it's interesting.

243 Pages covering deflated footballs. Crazy.

It's nothing more than a glorified science report. Goodell can create in one move an Exempt/Commissioner's list and the front office has never seen or is not aware of the Rice video from the casino elevator, yet commissions a 200+ page report to determine whether there could be an ethical issue with the Patriots manipulating the existing rules to their benefit. They don't care, and while they're certainly not as corrupt, the league is only a little less transparent than Sepp Bladder.
