Tebow’s camp is privately admitting he’s done in the NFL
 
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.

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.
