So many mediocre QBs so little time Can Tebow be next in the make a comeback line?

Gus Ornstein? Heath Shuler? Gino Toretta?

Tebow's not good enough to be mediocre.

8 wins got them into the playoffs. They averaged 18 ppg with him as a started despite 3 OTs played.

He was terrible. Do you really think the NFL coaches are just biased?

Rex Grossman is bad, and he brought his team to the Super Bowl

There was no way those theatrics was going to happen another year with him.

33rd in completion percentage. That is laughably bad.

Tebow's religious flamboyance and the media circus that follows him is probably the main reason he is being blacklisted...hell, Jason Campbell and Rex Grossman have jobs

I really wish JRuss would get one more shot, to see if he's really stupid, lazy, or if he can be successful.

He is a terrible passer. You can plug and play Campbell and Grossman, but you have to change your entire offense to suit Tebow.

It's been discussed a million times, but I can't imagine him not working on trying to get better. He must have given himself over to the fact he isn't playing anymore. He seems to be smart enough and driven enough, I guess when you throw the ball the same way for so many years, bad habits are hard to break. I also have a feeling it's more than that.

I mean Michael Sam broke the barrier. All Tebow has to do is walk through it.

Well it is. Look at the circus that comes with it. No team wants that distraction. If Michael Sam get's cut by the rams, i see the same thing happening. He might get one more chance. Hell you never know. Manziel might be the same. Look at the shite that comes with him. He's the NFL's version of Justin Bieber.

The real reason is that you can't sign him to be your backup because he can't run the scout team and he's going to be so different from other QBs that if your starter goes down, the team is screwed (even more than teams would normally be)

So, if you sign Tebow, you're signing him to be your starter and designing your offense around his skills and he's not good enough to start anywhere so...

Hearing him speak he doesn't seem all that smart. Good guy though.
