Going to pray over all the injuried players we picked up in the off-season. Bradford's knee to never feel pain again.
 
Good for him. He's certainly better than some of the other shit QBs in the league.

Also, Tebow mania is fun.
 
I'm actually pretty excited to see if he can make the team, get any playing time, and do anything for them then. Will he try to be a traditional quarterback, or will they use him in some other ridiculous fashion? I'm sure ESPN will let me know before it's too late. I like Tebow. I can't help it.
 
His Expected Points added per play in 2011 was worse than Curtis Painter.

It was worse than everyone not named Tyler Palko or John Beck.

They ran the ball but usually got nowhere and didn't help control the clock and give the defense extra rest. They punted 7 times a game on avg.
 
All the Philly hate in this thread is delicious, gonna get a cheese steak and a 6 pack of yuengling beer to celebrate our pending Super Bowel championship
 
The best thing about Tebow is how fun his surname is to pronounce.

"TeeBooww"

I think that's why he's so popular on ESPN, people just love saying his name.
 
Dude brings a media circus with him, but he deserves another shot. A legitimately nice guy with no rap sheet and moderate NFL talent shouldn't be excised from the league because ESPN wants to suck his D all day everyday.
 
Why sign him then? I don't understand it.

Probably see where he is at QB after 2 years away from the game, although he's been training with Tom House ever since getting cut. He could be competing for #2 with Sanchez.

Alternatively, the Eagles lay it out that he has the option to continue his career in the NFL if he chooses to change positions. I could see him as a TE or FB. Dude can't seriously think he can pull the "I'm a QB and will always be a QB" and still be signed to a team.
 
Why sign him then? I don't understand it.

There are relationships involved... That's why. It's similar to how the Redskins had a RB in recently for a try-out, with the player then going on to see in NY some where.

Teams have relationships with players and agents and will do these things to help each other out. If Tebow shares the same agent as a currently signed player, or a player that they want. That agent will fight harder for the team if the team helps out the agent.
