Tim Tebow has reached agreement on a new deal with the Eagles, two sources said Sunday.
Tebow is scheduled to... fb.me/2aN4lQ2HJ

Ohhhhhh Boy.

If Tebow can have any success in the league, Chip will be the coach who gets it out of him.

Now, I don't think for a second he'll be an every down QB, but I think in certain special packages and/or gimmick plays he can be a weapon. Whether or not you can justify keeping three or four QB's for Tebow to remain is uncertain.

That... or this is just a 'smokescreen' or distraction to keep their intent to trade up for a QB (Mariotta) hidden.

 

[dbair1967]

...whatever Mid

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Probably won't even make the team, or if he does won't ever see the field.

 

[dbair1967]

He wants Tebow to mentor Mariotta

If we did this, dbair would be the first one in here saying "camp fodder."

 

[dbair1967]

Actually I'd be saying "backup TE fodder"

 

[Doomsday]

Actually I'd be saying "backup TE fodder"

I have to assume Tebow isn't willing to change positions, otherwise he does have the tools to be a successful player in the NFL. At quarterback? He really hasn't shown that's the spot for him in this league.

That Chip Kelly's a genius.

Minus the USC homering, if they cut Matt Barkley I'd be all over him if I was Dallas. One, I think he's going to be a decent QB down the road and two, more insight into Kelly's offense.

Use all three and you get a 114.5 QBR!

I don't see anything wrong with that.

no thanks

What if Aaron Murray became available?

 

[dbair1967]

Not all that excited about him either, though I think he probably throws it a tad better than Barkley

@JenDanielsCSN: Sanchez on tebow: “we needed another guy to throw while Sam is still recovering..that’s the reason there..at least as it was explained to me
