Gabbert hasn't taken a job as a college annalist, nor is playing minor league baseball.

Tebow has little to no accuracy in practice. Part of being a backup QB is getting quality reps to backup skill players to aid their development and giving quality looks to the first team defense while doing scout team. Tebow cannot consistently throw the football with accuracy, so he would give the first team defense terrible looks on scout team, and make it hard for backup skill players to develop.

Hope that helps.

I wonder if eagles, pats and jets fans, also all see Tebow as the great qb that their team was too stupid to keep?

The way we lament the demise of this dude is insane.

I love Tim Tebow as a person and a leader, but Tebow is similar to Kaepernick in that you would need a system in place for him. And nobody's going to build a system around a backup quarterback. So you're going to need spread concept more RPO. And honestly that would be more opportunity for him if he were drafted in the next couple of years then the 9 years ago that he was actually drafted.

Cause he cant throw

Does Gabbert really have a job though? Are we putting that much stock into a backup QB now?

I'm not a huge Tebow guy. F the Gators.

A-boring offseason
B-it simply baffles me that the Gabberts of the world are still employed.

Maybe he just holds the clipboard better.

Would you rather have a vanilla but adequate backup who does his job, or an inspiring backup who can't throw with a rabid fanbase hankering for him to get another chance?

I don't really think the circus played into it at all. Guy just can't perform backup QB responsibilities because of no accuracy, hence why the Patriots dropped him. He is a good fit as a utility player the way the Saints are using Hill, but I don't think that's what Tebow ever wanted to do.

No group is more persecuted than Christians.

He's getting paid a nice salary to suck.

All backup QBs suck. If they were any good they'd be starting.

We make fun of backup QBs as if we get paid millions of dollars to sit on a bench and hang out with supermodels.
