To even suggest Tebow throwing one pass is completely stupid. And if he MIGHT throw the ball, obviously thats taking it out of Drew's hands

Why? Put Tebow in at halfback and run something like a halfback toss and give him the option to pass or tuck it. Again, I didn't ever once say put him at QB did I? I'm saying the possibilities are endless with him in the game and being utilized by one of the best offensive playcallers in the game. If you don't think Payton could find creative ways to use him, your nuts.

If what the OP says is true, then Payton agrees with me, but hey, what does he know? Lets just go with what you say and run plays where Tebow MIGHT throw the ball. Excellent idea, man. Our offense obviously is in desperate need of the extra wrinkle Tebow would provide us with. The Saints obviously need the circus that comes with acquiring Tebow. Great idea.

First of all, Tebow will never come here. This all obviously hypothetical. And why couldn't it use an extra wrinkle? What's it going to hurt? And do you honestly think there would be a circus here? It's given he's not challenging for the QB spot so there's zero competition there. As I've said 10 times, he would be a utility player.

quote:
We have one of the top rated FBs of the last couple years, no use there. We have 5 RBs better than him, no use there. We have a top 2 TE and just added Watson, no use there. And there is definitely no use for any plays where he MIGHT throw the ball.

Again. If you don't think Payton would find a way to utilize him efficiently, your nuts.

Man, surely you can't be serious.

Why would you take the ball out of your best player's hands? Do we really want Tebow throwing the ball when we have Brees at the helm?

You originally said

quote:
A few trick plays here and there where he could throw it.

If we are running plays where Tebow is throwing it, I don't know about you, but I consider taking the ball out of Brees' hands. Unless you propose an idea where they both throw the ball at the same time. Whether that means benching Drew, or running a wildcat, I don't know. I was trying to speak generally enough to where I didn't put words in your mouth, like you did for me.

running the wildcat with Tebow?

Your reading comprehension is terrible, man. I was comparing the situation of running plays with Tebow, to when the wildcat was people and a lot of fans were suggesting we run it with Reggie. Once again, I never said to bench Drew, or to run the wildcat.

I must be outside of my box then, because I don't think Tebow is better than anything we have at FB, RB, TE, or QB, and obviously Payton doesn't either. Once again, I'll chose to side with him.

What's it going to hurt to have Tebow throwing the ball as opposed to Drew? Or running the ball as opposed to PT or Ingram? Or catching it as opposed to Graham? I don't know... Maybe a shot at the playoffs and our dignity.
