A sick Tebow meets with Chiefs, Vikings and Panthers

Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has met at length with representatives from the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers, according to members of Tebow’s camp.

Tebow is working out this week in Mobile, Ala., as part of the Senior Bowl.

The meeting with Carolina was the most formal, a sit-down session with the coaching staff. New Chiefs offensive coordinator Charlie Weis also sat down with Tebow.

All three teams could be looking for a quarterback in the 2010 NFL draft. Minnesota might be without Brett Favre, and Jake Delhomme’s time at Carolina is dwindling.

Tebow battled a 103.5-degree fever last night and has been sick with strep throat since Saturday, brother Robby said. He’s been on IV the last two days and sweated through the entire night on Monday.

His performance Tuesday wasn’t flawless, but it was an improvement over Monday’s fumble-plagued day. Tebow dropped one under-center snap compared to numerous drops the previous day.

Tebow, who wasn’t available for post-practice interviews other than a few comments on the run, threw some nice deep passes Tuesday, connecting with Ole Miss’ Dexter McCluster and Florida’s Riley Cooper 50 yards downfield. The intermediate throws got him in trouble. At least two passes were close to being picked off during 11-on-11 drills.

Tebow said he’s pleased with his day and “just getting used to things a little bit more” before being whisked away by Senior Bowl officials.

I wouldn't mind the Chiefs taking a chance on him - depending on where he's available. Don't overpay, of course, for a developmental prospect.

I don't see anything wrong with going into 2010 with Cassel as your #1 and Tebow as your #2 or #3. If Weiss thinks he can work with the guy then give him a year and see if he can transition to an NFL style offense.

The guy obviously can't just walk into the NFL and start in week 1, but he has a lot of character and work ethic, and good physical tools at least in many respects. Let him get in a full year with an NFL team and some intensive work with a QB coach.

Maybe not the right move for the Chiefs, but as much as I hope Cassel succeeds it's not a sure thing. We need to find at least one developmental prospect at QB this year who we can try next if Cassel doesn't work out. Great QBs don't get loose on the free agent market, you have to find or make your own.

Do you count Damon Huard? Because doesn't he have two or three with the Patriots?

There are reservations among NFL people about Tim Tebow's mechanics, delivery and ability to read defenses.

His leadership, work ethic and competitiveness are unquestionable.

Tebow with your 1st pick will actually make more sense than the Tyson Jackson pick.

Go for it!!!!

If he continues to work hard at becoming a better QB and some team can find a way to get him on the field a bunch, he could be a distinct threat. If the D keeps seeing him block, run a couple routes and stuff like that, then the tricky stuff can be tossed in a little easier. He just isn't a guy for the Chiefs IMO because he will somehow get picked too high to justify the risk versus potential reward aspect.

Yea, and it soon came to pass that the rep was passed from person to person.

The only reason to draft Tebow is to upgrade the medical staff. When you have Football Jesus on the sidelines, then injuries become a thing of the past.

But they both have that same ability to get teams into the winners circle.

Now I am not at all saying we should draft this dude. But if the final product turns out to be anything remotely close to what Steve Young turned out being... after a slow start in Tampa Bay IIRC, then we should probably at least have a conversation with him while in Mobile.

Not IMO, and not according to this video. I see Steve taking snaps from under center and dropping back. His footwook is a bit off, but he seemed to clear that up in the NFL.

I don't understand how anyone can watch the NFL and not watch College. Now, I watch MLB, but I don't follow college. Thats entirely different, though.

Football Jesus

You're killing me.

The only reason I can see us bringing him in is to make some other team think we're interested in him in hopes that someone will trade up to 5 to get him.Whatever I guess,but we already have a QB that needs to learn to run a pro offense.
