I was watching Sportscenter while at home for lunch and Schlereth and Schefter said Tim Tebow's accuracy is "awful", he has trouble with basic footwork, and that he could end up even being the 3rd option at QB behind Brady Quinn. They said Orton is firmly the starter, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Lombardi reported at least twice this past offseason that Tebow lacks support in the front office. Lombardi concedes that many in Denver denied his report. The Broncos were shopping Kyle Orton heavily just one week ago, which suggests a belief in Tebow. If last year's first rounder is no longer in the teams' plans, then the front office has changed its mind on the direction of the franchise after one week of no-pads practice.

That would be the smartest thing they could do. Dude is not an NFL QB. He could help his team out in other innovative ways but not as a fulltime starting QB. With that being said, I hope he starts for them so it can ruin them even more.

Jets free agent WR Braylon Edwards is scheduled to meet tonight with the San Francisco 49ers. Could be a prime spot for a 1-yr deal.

At that price, he wouldnt have to be a quarterback.

It would have to come with the caveat that he had to know he wasnt in the competition for the starting QB job and likely never would be.

It would be worth that much just to have him in certain packages and in the lockerroom.


jesus christ no....a 3rd for some guy to wave pom poms?

Makes sense for the 49ers.

pom poms

Short yardage back

Fullback

Wildcat option

Already knows the current Denver playbook.

emergency quarterback that can be a long term project for Zorn to work with.

He does provide value for a late third round pick. Its a moot point though, they wouldnt trade him here in a million years.

fantasy nonsense


this isn't college, and he isn't a RB in the nfl...and he's a "QB" that they're still trying to teach how to throw....he's a joke

Anyone who thinks Tebow could actually play FB needs to have their head examined.

My personal theory as to why Houston hasn't signed has everything to do with his failed drug test at the combine.

I believe that Pioli is a smart enough guy to realize that Houston didn't just make a mistake, smoke once and get caught. If he was dumb enough to do it before the combine it's b/c he couldn't resist, and probably has a problem.

I think Pioli has required Houston to complete rehab or substance abuse counseling and get a recommendation from a doctor or possibly even therapy to get a clean bill of mental health, before he will even extend a contract offer to Houston.

Sounds weird, as we've never heard of something like this happening before. Does Pioli strike you as a guy who wants to bring in a pothead and introduce him and his mentality to a fragile young locker room?

Dammit, why couldn't that trade have gone through? :LOL:

I am gonna have to download Donko games this year for epic fail Teboners. COUNT ZARTH WILL RIDE AGAIN

According to Bob Gretz this is not the case.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM

With the Chiefs you never know for sure on the status of contract negotiations. So there’s always the chance that third-round draft choice Justin Houston is sitting in the Ramada Inn right up I-29, waiting for his contract to be finalized.

Or, Houston could be back in Georgia, enjoying the home cooking. His agent, Joel segal has been unwilling to return messages or e-mail. The Chiefs have their lips clamped shut as they always do when it comes to matters of money.

As of lunch time Wednesday, there were only four draft choices across the NFL that had not signed contracts:

•#17 OT Nate Solder by New England.
•#18 T Corey Liuget by San Diego.
•#19 CB Prince amukamara by the New York Giants.
•#70 OLB Justin Houston by the Chiefs.

The holdup for the first rounders is over how many of the contract’s four years will be guaranteed. Everyone above No. 17 got guaranteed money or all four years. With one exception, all those below No. 19 got only three years guaranteed.

What’s up with Houston remains unknown, but it’s almost certainly a dispute over money. That’s hard to believe with the new labor agreement and slotting system. Here are the contract details for the bookend choices around Houston:

•#69 – TE Rob Housler/Arizona, 4-year deal for $2,994,092, with a signing bonus of $684,092.
•#70 – OLB Justin Houston/Chiefs, unsigned.
•#71 – RB DeMarco Murray/Dallas, 4-year deal for $2,973,438, with a signing bonus of $662,500.

Split the difference between Housler and Murray and that should be Houston’s deal.

Because NFL players aren't strong enough to handle peer pressure. :facepalm:
