That is a strange story.

I went through safety training as part of a contract job at a train station - the client showed us a video of some idiot that climbed atop a commercial train and reached for the overhead line.

It was over quickly. In a millisecond the guy was dead; his body collapsed on the roof of the train. It took a moment before the body started to cook. After maybe thirty seconds the body was shriveled up to half its size and charred black.

Tebow was trash at QB. The Broncos had success with him because they changed their entire offensive scheme mid season and the defenses they played couldn't adjust to it. Tebow was a talented running QB because of his size and would make the odd completion here and there which kept defenses guessing. Tebow would have failed hard as a QB once defenses adjusted in year two. He wasn't athletic enough to play TE and not strong enough to be a lead blocker. I always thought his best bet was to just try RB.

Wow , that sounds eerily familiar to another story line I herd, can’t remember who it was right now, maybe it will come to me

No its nothing like the Lamar situation. If that was the case, Lamar would have been washed up in 2019 and we'd be looking at drafting a new QB in the 2020 draft. Instead he had a MVP calibre season because of his running and throwing talent while throwing for the highest amount of TDs in the league. I am not saying that Lamar is currently a great thrower of the ball, but he is pretty good and certainly on a different planet than Tebow was in that regard. Lamar is also a much better running QB than Tebow was. Terrible comparison.

There sure were a lot of analysts making the comparison though.

And Lamar proved them wrong

Pitt should go after this guy

One name floating around as potential trade target: Lions OT Tyrell Crosby. Detroit giving indications it will consider or look to move Crosby, who started 12 games last year. Arrival of Penei Sewell changes the dynamic.

Crosby was the guy who the Lions felt was so good that they could cut Rick Wagner and save a lot of money. I guess the new staff doesn't see things the same way

Well, that's one way to lose weight and get a tan at the same time... Bc

He gave similar production at a fraction of a salary. There is no shame in being a backup. He's a solid veteran backup who can start if injuries occur.

We are set though with Phillips.

Lol, trash? A trash passer yeah but he was a good QB. There really isn't any away around that.

What Tebow would have done will never know.

I would have loved to see him in scheme similar to Greg's.
