Dolphins reportedly considered Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton before signing Cutler

Everyone knew the Dolphins were desperate to find a preseason solution to their quarterback problem, which cropped up quickly after Ryan Tannehill suffered what could ultimately be a season-ending knee injury during practice Thursday. The Dolphins acted quickly, reaching out to Jay Cutler and persisting to get him to help bail out his old buddy Adam Gase. Cutler is expected to sign a one-year deal worth a reported $10 million.

But Cutler wasn't the only candidate for the gig, according to a report from Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. Salguero reported on Sunday afternoon that Colin Kaepernick was also one of the quarterbacks the Dolphins considered, which should come as no surprise considering the chatter about Kap for every job involving an injured quarterback.

A name that will come as a surprise however: TIMOTHY RICHARD TEBOW.

I read someone sitting at the table said "How about Tebow?", the room erupted in laughter, and when they were done laughing almost ten minutes later someone farted and it started another round of uproarious laughter. Good times.

It was actually a conference call, but they didn't recognize the person's voice who suggested Tebow, especially since he was giggling. Then he suggested Orton, this time erupting in laughter with the rest of them. They finally caught on.

"Very funny, Josh! **** you."

"Superbowl champs, baby!!"

After Josh hung up, someone used word association. "Hey, what about Jay Cutler?"

kid, you have issues. . .

I mean, I love Tebow; but even I realize he isn't a QB. Especially an NFL caliber QB.

That sure was a fun year though.

He was more effective than Trevor Siemian, though.
