OR a guy that the fanbase worships that can sell tix and merchandise and will be a workout warrior? (and he won a national title for the coach)

I'm talking about from a football perspective, Tebow will no doubt sells tix/jerseys

Bill Belichick couldn't do anything with him 8 YEARS AGO, that tells you all you need to know. That's a coach that has been able to use a LB as an offensive piece, Tebow is a complete non-factor even in a utility role based on NE not even putting him on their 53 in his athletic prime

That’s because Brady was petrified of the QB competition and forced Belichek to ruin Tebow’s career and then cut him.

Tebow is one of the players that doesn't fit neatly into a box and for whatever reason it became vogue not to like him.
He had all the off-field choir boy image stuff which seemed to backlash against him.

I've always liked Tebow.
Liked his leadership and toughness.
I loved watching the way he interacts with his teammates.
I liked his fire and drive.

Weirdly enough for as much as the media hails/hailed "wins" as a QB stat the media is weirdly mum on that when it comes to Tebow.
He took over a team that was going no where and was objectively terrible before he took the helm.
During that stint he had an objectively terrible comp% but he had 4 or 5 4th Q comebacks mainly on the strength of his rushing.
11 starts - 1729 passing yards - 12 TDs - 6 INTs - 660 rushing yard - 6 TDs
7-4 W/L + Playoff win

After that season he only threw 8 more passes in his NFL career.

So yeah, i get it that the guy has unfinished business in the league.
And a long time ago in another life i used to coach...so i get why Meyer would give him a chance.
I hope he's got something left in the tank.

I'm rooting for the kid.
Always have, always will.

These are my sentiments exactly. I remember watching many of those comebacks that year (at the very least highlights) and it was damn exciting football. We have to remember too that at the time Tebow was unwilling to change positions because he was devoted to being a QB (probably a mistake to have been so rigid on that) but now with the willingness to play TE he coule be successful. He has the work ethic, athletic ability, he stays in tremendous shape and doesn't have wear and tear. Of he can learn the position then Meyer will know how to use him. Now should he be their only option at TE? No but I think he can have a level of success and like you I hope he does. I'm excited to see him do this and hope he makes the 53.

Never understood the vitriol for him, he's a great guy

One reason Tebow is polarizing is because his unorthodox style leads to debate as to whether it is sustainable. That debate leads people to dig in their heels. "It coulda worked IFFFFF..." then the debate ensues and then people try to win the debate or save face.

they soured on him because much like his completion percentage, he was fucking terrible at playing qb. This is nothing more than a PR stunt just as his baseball career was.
