ESPN HIRES TEBOW

Former Florida quarterback and Heisman winner, Tim Tebow, has been hired as a college football analyst for the SEC Network launching in August 2014. Through a multi-year agreement, Tebow’s primary role will be as an analyst for SEC Nation, the network’s traveling pregame show that will originate from a different SEC campus each week beginning August 28, 2014. In the months leading up to launch and after, he will contribute to a variety of ESPN platforms including SportsCenter, ESPN Radio, and the network’s Heisman Trophy coverage, offering in-depth perspective as a legendary Southeastern Conference player.

who cares

Oakland 56ers

I used to really like Tebow as a man, but if he loved football so much he would've been willing to try another position to play it... i'm still convinced he was athletic and big enough to make an excellent h-back/tight end.

But wanna be arrogant and stubborn about it, still convinced you're an NFL caliber QB, turning up your nose at other legit offers left and right? Then fine, take your dumb ass to the booth.

I feel like the terrorists have won.

So it was written, and now, it has come to pass.

i bet he still thinks he can play QB in the NFL

I don't watch ESPN, and now I can not watch Tim Tebow while not watching ESPN. So...nothing changes for me.

This could be a problem if whoever he is playing for next year doesn't give him time off for his ESPN show.

I feel the exact same way.

Seems like he really didn't love football all that much.

A lot of guys who suck on the field wind up doing just fine in the studio (Herm, Trent Dilfer, Merrill Hoge), and lot of guys who were superstars on the field suck in the studio (Joe Montana, Michael Irvin).

Hell, Scott Pioli actually sounds good enough in the NBC studio that some idiotic NFL owner will undoubtedly give him another shot.

I suspect Tebow will be fine at ESPN, as long as he doesn't go all Duck Dynasty on us.

Another reason to not watch ESPN.

I feel like Chris666 would approve of this.

If he really did, he would've worked MUCH harder on his delivery when the pats gave him a shot and beyond that, no way he turns down other legit offers to try another position, how many other hundreds of guys have done the same thing.

If he'd had a realistic sense of himself in the first place, he would've told McDaniels "turn me into one of these badass tight ends, coach".

Gronk and Hernandez go down? He'd be right there for the glorious win.

i think it is a good fit for him. like him or not he is probably going to be a better personality on espn college football than any of those other asshats they have there. Good for tebow.

This is the kinda guy who wouldnt appreciate the yoga pants appreciation thread. Hence he is dead to me and not even an American.

Has that ever worked out for anyone? I'm not a Tebow fan, but people always think some guys (usually QBs) can just magically go and play a different position. I don't think it is that easy.

I feel bad for him. He deserves a shot somewhere, even if it's at a backup role.

Lets start in house with Marcus Cooper, hadn't played a down of CB as a pro, yet came in showed more than enough promise... college corners move to safety all of the time, college DE's move to LB (Hali for just one example) all of the time, Tannehill went from WR to starting NFL QB in 2 years.

Tebow was athletic enough, smart enough and young enough to easily learn the skills to be a killer tight end, guys who've played QB have a leg up on understanding what a receiver needs to do.

The list is massive, Cosmo... don't make me go into some 2 hour search to prove it, just take an honest mans word for once... he could've made it happen if he wanted to.

He will still have more playoff wins in Denver than manning ever will ROFL

I didn't expect you to consider moving from CB to S the same as moving from QB to another position. I'm sure guys have moved positions within the offensive and defensive lines as well.

Tannehill played QB in college and was drafted to be a QB. He didn't make the switch at the NFL level.

And I wasn't questioning your honesty. I really don't know what that has to do with your opinion that he could suddenly be a good TE if he wanted.

Skip Bayless is going to go on a 48 hour fapping binge this weekend.

We're talking about a very smart, young player who went 6'3 235-240 and had every talking head tongue wagging about his athleticism... he was a natural athlete.

If he'd wanted to be a highly versatile fullback/h-back/tight end hybrid, he could've done it with a coach who believed in him like McDouche, period.

I'm ending this discussion here, if you want to argue go to DC.

With thunderous applause!:clap:

Tebow has no real insight into football. His football acumen is limited to "Give 110 percent and believe in Jesus!"

**** this guy.

I was just finishing the quote, I don't watch College Football unless it has to do with KState. The only time I'll see Tebow is on Sportscenter for the occasional 3 minutes segment where he adds his psalms into the mix.

Good for him. Perfect marriage.

Ok, sure. He's so dreamy that there's no question he could be an NFL TE.

Forgot about the 'no arguing in the Lounge' rule.

Bring him in for a look at kicker? He's natural athlete!

Maybe they'll let him interview Aaron Rodgers post game.

Nolan Cromwell was an All-American quarterback at KU and an All-Pro safety for the Los Angeles Rams. He was a very athletic quarterback with limited passing ability, as KU ran the Wishbone offense. He wasn't considered a pro prospect at quarterback, so he converted to free safety prior to the draft. He did play safety at KU as a sophomore, so it's not exactly the same situation. But he was exclusively a quarterback for his junior and senior seasons. It can be done.

I believe Tebow would have at least made an attempt to play another position if he really wanted to play football. He could have been a real difference maker at tight end for the Patriots this year.

LMAO yeah dreamy's what i said, no, just being realistic about his athletic ability and malleable youth.

I'll never be able to actually prove you aren't wrong as all hell since he decided to puss out and head for the broadcasting money, but you're just one of those guys who LIVES to argue something and we can do this ALL DAY.

You'll probably get me two outta three times in DC, but not in this arena, broham... good day to you, sir/mic drop

Tebow sucks at QB, but he is a great athlete. It is not out of the realm of possibility that he could switch to another position.

That's a reasonable example I guess, although as far as I know, Tebow doesn't have college-level experience at another position.

I'm not saying it CAN'T be done, just that's it's nowhere as easy as some people make it sound. Big/strong/fast guys wash out of and never make it to the NFL every year. It can't be that easy to just go play a completely different position at the NFL level.

Scott Frost left Nebraska as a QB and went to the NFL and played safety. 6 year career and he was pretty good at it. Eric Crouch was a great athlete who refused to believe that he was not an NFL QB...and now he is an analyst for the Big 10 Network. I think Crouch would have been a good reciever (that's what St. Louis did with him when then drafted him) or maybe a safety. He was a wicked good athlete, but apparently just wanted to be a QB. If you remember, the CHiefs picked him up and sent him to NFL Europe...as a safety. By then he was done anyway.

Good for Timmy. If you can't play the position you want to play, then be a man and step away I guess. He's a good guy and I'm sure he'll do well on ESPN.

Julian Edleman

There are other examples as well.

Colleges turn out big, fast, strong, smart, athletic QBs every year. Few go on to have NFL careers. You would think some of these guys would take up TE as a hobby with it being so easy to have a career as an NFL TE with no prior experience.

No one is right every single time, continuing to dig in after having been given multiple lessons really isn't a good look, Tim... its seriously ok to be wrong once in a while.

Not saying you're stupid, but you don't know it all either... other people know a few things, too.

I like Cosmo (one of my favorite posters), but he's in the wrong on this one.

I'm from NE and I'm very familiar with those guys. I did think of Frost a little while ago, that's a decent one to mention, although I don't think he really played much and was mostly special teams.
Crouch is who I had in mind with all this Tebow talk. Great athlete, but I remember thinking, "Why is anyone so sure he can catch passes at the NFL level?"

Again, I'm not saying it can't be done, but there's just so little precedent for success with re-trained QBs that it should never be assumed it's any more than a very extreme longshot.

I think what it boils down to is both Crouch and Tebow were very gifted athletes, and it's hard to believe the NFL couldn't have found a way to utilize that athleticism. Timmy is a big strong tough SOB, seems hard to believe he couldn't have been re-purposed as a full back or some damn thing. I dunno.

And Frost from all I remember had a pretty successful career as a NFL safety.

I'll accept that.

I bet he's actually going to be good at this.

Wouldve liked to have seen him get a chance to fail by the Jets...I felt Tebow earned the right to be given that chance. But good for him being a college analyst. If he wasn't the greatest college player ever he was certainly one of them! Good dude too. I have nothing but respect for Tim Tebow.

And so we've come to this.

Tebow and Boomer.

Could go all the way.

Maybe PM should give him a call to get some pointers on how to win a playoff game in Denver?

Can't hurt.

How have I not seen this before? Most epic youtube video ever!

If josh mcD goes to Cleveland Tebow comeback is possible ROFL

Yeah, sure seems like it.

Top 10 College QBs Who Switched Positions
http://www.realclearsports.com/lists...tch/intro.html

Nice find. But I think it really supports my point. Those are supposedly the "Top 10", but most of those 10 didn't even really play a position--they stayed in the league returning kicks. Of those 10 the only two that really had a career as something other than a barely used-journeyman benchwarmer or KR are Edelman and Freddie Solomon.

Was Tebow even born the last time the Chiefs won a playoff game? o:-)

You think Pioli sounds good? He sounds like a ****ing reerun faking his way through commentary. I hear him speak and I wonder how the hell he was able to talk his way into a GM position.

Tebow - August 14, 1987

Chiefs - January 16, 1993

Barely ROFL

Some people will probably cringe at the mere thought, but Todd Blackledge is excellent covering college football.

Thanks bin Laden.
