Report: Tebow’s camp is privately admitting he’s done in the NFL
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 31, 2013, 1:45 PM EDT


The news around Tim Tebow has been quiet since he was cut by the Jets, but it’s been widely assumed that Tebow is still hoping to catch on with some NFL team. The people advising Tebow, however, may have come to the conclusion that there simply isn’t an NFL team willing to give him a shot.

David Fleming writes in ESPN the Magazine that members of Tebow’s camp are privately admitting that his NFL run is probably over.

Although Tebow did have some success as the Broncos’ starting quarterback, leading Denver to a playoff win after the 2011 season, Fleming quotes an unnamed scout as saying that even during his best run with the Broncos, the work he put on tape did nothing for NFL personnel people.

“He’s not a quarterback,” the scout said. “When you look at his run two years ago, when you watch the tape and break it down, he wasn’t really doing anything that impressive. He’s a tough guy, a great leader, a great person. But he isn’t a good enough quarterback to have all the distractions that come with him.”

Among the problems NFL teams have identified about Tebow, according to the report, are that he has a hard time remembering plays, he didn’t run the offense well and got the Broncos flagged for delay of game too often, he struggled to read defenses and he didn’t have the self-awareness to know what he wasn’t doing well and work on improving those issues.

There’s also, obviously, the fundamental issue of passing accuracy: Tebow’s career completion rate of 47.9 percent is way too low, and Fleming describes a scene in Broncos practice in which coach John Fox was aghast to see Tebow throw a pass so badly that it landed on the ground far in front of the intended receiver’s feet.

Add it all up, and no matter how exciting a season he had with the Broncos in 2011, Tebow just doesn’t look like an NFL quarterback. He and the people around him may be coming around to accepting that.

Tell us something we don't know...

Sad

I refuse to believe our Savior is done until his Prophet, KnowMo, says it is.

This is bullshit! Knowmo told me he'd take Denver to multiple Super Bowls! Best draft EVAH!!!

If he's done in the NFL he has no one to blame but himself, if he wasnt so pigheaded about being a QB he'd prolly catch on as a tight end or highly versatile fullback somewhere.

He should just go beg Josh McDaniel to find a place for him, short of that he's and idiot for insisting on being a QB, so i dont feel one bit sorry for him.

You kind of have to be able to throw to play QB in the CFL. It's a 3 down league after all. Don't see it happening there for him either.

He wouldn't make it in the CFL as a quarterback either. They're even more pass oriented than the NFL.

He needs to either reinvent himself as a fullback or forget about football altogether. I think he could be a very effective fullback in the league.

The guy isn't a quarterback in the NFL or any other league for that matter.

almost along the same lines of a Ryan Leaf bust

I don't really see it as sad. Lots of guys aren't good enough to play quarterback in the NFL. I don't feel sad for them. Why should I feel sad for Tim Tebow?

H-Back or bust.

He was done when he started.

But ESPN will keep this shit alive at least another 2 years.

I wouldn't say so; I mean, Tebow sucks but I don't think many had high expectations of him.

now, bust from the standpoint of the reeruned amount of hype he had....then huge bust.

Sarcasm is so difficult to convey in print.

It could be even worse. He could get hired to be a commentator and then we'd have to see him on TV for the next twenty years.

Tebow GTFO! oh, and God Bless.

I didn't want to say that.

Can he speak?

I don't think I've ever heard him speak.

He's a modern day Terry Bradshaw. Shudder.

Good for him, now he can settle down and start a family and lose all that muscle weight so he can hold his baby without crushing it.

I can't believe people ever thought he was an NFL qb. He can't throw the football.

Die, bitch.

LMAO McDaniels.

This guy is a ****ing mental midget. LMAO

That's why he loves jesus sooooooo much

They pass even more in the CFL, so people should stop suggesting that!

Tebow is done, period.

Tebow will now become a megachurch pastor and make way more money that he could have in the NFL.

especially since the NFL would require him to pay taxes

LMAO

Tebow's cult like following is the primary reason he can't get any work at all.

Good job guys!

Eh, he can be a door to door bible salesman for all I care. I really don't get the AWESOME FULLBACK hype. Doubt he has the balls.

Franchise QB!! Winner!!!/Donco homers

If he wants to play football, I can't figure out why he's not doing this. It's obvious that he's not going to be a quarterback in this league, and it's also obvious that he has the talent to be somewhere on the football field. Fullback, tight end, whatever.

Yep, he could probably switch positions and be fairly successful. The guy's obviously an athlete.

He's just not worth all the hype and attention he brings. His future in the NFL would be brighter if nobody knew who he was.

At this point, nobody wants to deal with that shit.

ESPN + Faith Healing With Tebow

He is really going to hate what could have been in 20 years. All that premo pussy left untouched....

At first thought, this makes sense. But my immediate thought goes to Andre Woodson, who was a decent college QB, but had the same awful throwing motion, and he didn't last more than a couple of years.

I'm surprised Josh McDaniels hasn't gone to bat for him or wants him? Telling.....

I agree. He has no future as an NFL quarterback, but with his size, speed, and strength, I really believe he could fill a role somewhere doing SOMETHING.

The guy has won more playoff games than the chiefs in 20 years lmao

Wasn't that when we beat them in week 17 like 7-3 or some shit? And we would have been in had we not blown a home game to Oakland the week before? Do you think we could have won that wild card game against Pittsburgh?

Christ, who am I kidding? :huh:

Good, now please go somewhere far away. I'd like to not ever hear this ****ing pillowbiter's name again.

He's still more accurate than Cassel.

"Among the problems NFL teams have identified about Tebow, according to the report, are that he has a hard time remembering plays, he didn’t run the offense well and got the Broncos flagged for delay of game too often, he struggled to read defenses and he didn’t have the self-awareness to know what he wasn’t doing well and work on improving those issues."

Translation: Tebow is a great guy, but if brains were dynamite--he couldn't blow his nose.

You can see it in interviews, he's not a very smart guy. I'm guessing that it's pretty tough to play QB in the NFL. I'm pretty sure that it's next to impossible when you're unintelligent and can't throw a pass in the ocean from the beach.

That Josh McDaniel wanted both of them says a lot.

However, Tim Tebow does not intend to end NFL career

DING DING DING


WINNER!!!!
