Skip Bayless explode about this on First Take yet?

I would have kept him to be honest, if only because you might sell a few jerseys with his name on the back

He should have gone to Jacksonville after Denver instead of the Jets. I'm shocked both sides didn't make that happen at the time

Tebow is a weird one. Most guys either have "it," but not the arm (Colt McCoy), or have the arm but not "it" (RGIII). Most locker rooms will come together around a guy who has "it," but Tebow is always described as divisive (or at least a distraction) in the locker room. He won't likely get another chance in the NFL, definitely not with Jax or Denver.

*RGIII a bad example because he actually hasn't got an arm. He once had legs, but those seem to be gone.

Timmy's not "divisive" - he's just uncompromising. To his own detriment.

Football guys have been trying to make a linebacker out of Tim since he was twelve, and he's insisted all the time that he's a quarterback. That's what the problem comes down to. Ask Verlon Dorminey, who has a bunch of state champioships, and tried to make a linebacker out of Timmy at Trinity Christian Academy. Timmy got himself home schooled and got himself an address on another edge of the Jax metro area. There was a potential world beater team building at Nease HS, and Tim could home school and participate in extracurricular activities in his "home" district. Tim comes from folks who think outside the box. His new HS coach specialized in the kind of offense that he ran there and at UF. State championships ensued, and Tim was the most famous HS quarterback in the world for awhile.

He moved heaven and earth (with a lot of help) to make it happen in high school, carried it through college, and lots of people benefited - everybody attached to Tim - coaches (where is his college coach now, again?), family, friends and advisors, all did well. Very well. He has a statue (a freaking statue!) and a scroll with his "promise": in stone on the side of the stadium in Gainesville. Tim hit his Peter Principal QB limit at the NFL, after winning championships at every level. He's a striker who gets 30 in the Championship and three in the Prem. Compared to everyone, a great footballer.

Tim will succeed at whatever else he does, so he's I'm not really arsed about the impact on him. He could still make a helluva tight end though, wouldn't he?

I like Tebow but doesn't he have stone hands? Heard that's the issue with a move to TE

He's a smart kid, would make a good MLB. Not JJ Watt freakish of course, but smart (and if he's agile enough, which all evidence suggests he would be) and a good cover LB.

I like terrorizing LBs, makes me pine for the days of the Dome Patrol, but I like smart LBs even better.

Hate to say it, but Carolina has a really good group right now.

If anyone should want to pick an NFL team at this point, you could do worse than my Jaguars over the next few years, I suspect. If some failure this year doesn't derail the crew currently in charge, this outfit could be good for the next few years or so. I think they've recycled the crap out of the team by now and you'll be able to see them annually in London for years to come, if that is any draw.

Don't get the idea that they're going to move though - that's not in the cards.

Most of the suffering has been done by this point, and the direction is up. Still... (looks over Carolina linebackers) we'll know more next Monday.
