He has backup talent and he is a hell of a guy but the circus that follows him makes it impossible for a team to keep him on the roster and avoid the distractions.
    This is false. The "circus" has nothing to do with Tebow being out of the league.

    Teams run certain offenses, and have a limited amount of practice time to get guys meaningful reps. Tebow's 47.9 completion percentage prevents him from running as a #2 QB, because how is a guy like that going to help the 2s get better? How can he run a scout team either? Paxton Lynch's absence from the league last year, even on a practice squad, is evidence of this. QBs gotta be able to throw accurate balls to stay on a roster.

    Agreed but how do you explain Jackson in Baltimore? The Ravens are literally handing over the reigns to a QB who has the same skill set as Tebow. It sounds as though they are going to scheme their offense to what he does do well but 2018 was proof that the kid throws the ball with the same limitations and skill set as Tebow. Time will tell if it'll work but for now neither would succeed in an conventional NFL offense.

    It is not 100% related to the circus that follows him but you are kidding yourself if you think it doesn't factor.

    The circus that would surround Kap is the only reason he isn't a backup somewhere. It plays a part.

    Personally I think with the evolving NFL, having a backup that can play the RPO is the exact backup you would want, someone that can actually prepare your defense for the concepts.

    Tebow sucked his way out of the league. Tebowites have never been able to admit this. He SUCKED for three different teams and they all cut him. Then some teams were willing to sign him as a TE but he refused. Then he tried baseball and commenting on SEC games after his career ended.

    End of story.

    There are major skill-set differences between Tebow and Jackson. There are lots of guys that do what Jackson does, just not nearly as well. With Tebow? Besides maybe Taysom Hill, there's really nobody.

    Jackson's accuracy woes aren't as bad as Tebow's. The Ravens also drafted Jackson with the sole intention of developing him into their starting QB, and tailoring an offense around him. Unlike Tebow, who was a pounding QB, there actually are suitable backup QBs in the league for Lamar Jackson. RG3 and Tyrod Taylor could suit up for 8 games, and make something happen. There are any number of athletic option QBs that come out of college every year that make for late round "slide in for a game" starters for a Lamar Jackson. It's not completely out of the realm of reality to tailor your entire organizational direction around a QB like Jackson.

    Tebow, on the other hand, was one-of-a-kind as a football prospect. We're talking a bruising back that can throw the football. How many QBs in the NFL could you name that could honestly back Tebow up, without entirely changing the offense? Off the top of my head, you'd maybe back Tebow up with Taysom Hill? And I'm certainly not overstating the importance of backup QB here, because mobile QBs do get injured.

    That's not what North was getting at Shane.

    Why must you always take anything said and just turn it into complete hyperbole? I don't think anyone realistically thinks we have a good shot at a Superbowl with Flacco.

    I don't think SF's being too unreasonable here.

    Who have you seen acting like we're winning a superbowl because of this move? For that matter who on these boards is even overly excited about this move? Most of us were thoroughly unenthused. I think Shane's off base with this constant "OH SO WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL WITH FLACCO" nonsense.

    I've not seen a single person even suggest playoffs are likely, just that he's an upgrade over Case. Which is really, the lowest of low bars you can set at this point in time.
