    Tebow played for what, 3 or 4 teams? And none of them found him worthy of keeping around as a backup. Ultimately, if a team thought he could help him win they would have brought him in. And it certainly didn't help him how rabid his fanbase is. Literally the last thing a team wants in a backup QB is someone who (even if it's through no control of their own) is going to be a distraction.

    This is true but no team wanted to take a risk on a QB that couldn't pass the ball consistently until the Ravens this year. They seem to be all in on tailoring on offense for that skill set so it could be argued that Tebow could play, even as a back up, in a offense like that. Agreed on the distraction part but I'll put that more on the media than the fan base. The same circus that follows Kaps as well.

    I agree. After seeing how awful he actually is at throwing the ball I was shocked the Ravens stuck with him but they did and seem focused on going all in on the kid. I can see the Ravens being heavy players in drafting a QB next year which may be easier for them to do if Jackson plays at the same level again next year.

    Tebow tried out for 4 teams, but 2 of them (Patriots & Eagles) cut him at the end of training camp. The Jets' own forced him on their HC, who responded by making him a punt protector. The only NFL team in which he actually played QB for was the Broncos.

    I think Wave's point is (and i agree) that Tebow started for Denver but failed to beat out competition for a job on 3 other teams. The fact he could not win a job in a Chip Kelly offense says a lot.

    Is Jackson any better than Tebow? From I've seen it's a no. My point is no team has really ever committed to a QB that can't actually throw the ball consistently until the Ravens just did so with Jackson. Given the similar skill set I think Tebow could play in an offense that is being tailored now for Jackson. I don't think either of them would make a roster with a conventional offense, Tebow obviously didn't.

    That's a pretty unfair comparison though. He didn't lead the Pats, eagles, or Jets to a division title and epic playoff win as their starting QB. So obviously broncos fans are going to have more of an attachment to him in that regard.

    Just an incredibly over talked about subject, but I'll interject my opinion anyway:

    Tebow would have been a better prospect and potential (note potential) QB if everyone hadn't f****d with his throwing motion. He was consistently on the north side of 66% completions @ Florida. His "win at all costs" attitude was contagious and it's clear he lifted the Broncos that year to play better and fight to the end and never give up.

    I actually agree that having all those coaches try to fix his throwing motion probably ruined his career. He always played his best when he was just out there improvising and not worrying about his mechanics late in games. Yeah he had a funky/slow throwing motion in college, but it's what worked for him. Guys like Rivers did just fine with a funky throwing motion.

    I think if Tebow had never tried to change his mechanics, he'd still be in the league as at least a backup.

    Well they all saw what he was capable of.
