Post Tebow cut by Patriots

Tim Tebow's short-lived career with the New England Patriots came to an end today when he was cut. It seems even the master quarter-back, Tom Brady, and the brilliant coach, Bill Belichick, could not help Tebow, IMO. Tebow will now probably have to go to Canada is he wishes to play pro-football, again IMO.

Sure knew it was a long shot, but I was rooting for the kid....was personally hoping they would find something that could be cultivated.

I like Tim Tebow's values as far as I know of them but he still has to prove his worth in the NFL. He was good with the Denver Broncos for a while but what happened to him after that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tebow I sometimes feel that something else is going on here with Tebow. His stance on virginity and the like could put some people off as well as his wearing his religion on his face with the John 3:16 stuff. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...16&version=NIV

I am so saddened by this news. I am presently living in MA. and was hopeful that T.T. would end up on the Pats roster. Sadly is not going to happen. He appears to be such a nice young person who is not afraid to let others know what is important to him. I only wish for good things happen to T.T.

Default The circus is over

I like TT, but I am glad the circus is over. I hope he catches on somewhere (Canada) soon.

He played well at first for Denver and I too wonder what happen??? You would expect him to get better but for some reason he actually was worse. Mystery to me. Who knows he might do well in Canada and return to the NFL---that is not unheard of!

Like Doug Flutie perhaps? He came back to the NFL after the CFL and made it to the Pro-Bowl!

Seems like people have a weird sense of what 'played well' means.

His stats for that 'good' year in Denver:

Started 11 games - had a 72.9 QB rating - completed 46% of his passes - 1700 yards - had avg of 132 yards per game - threw for 12 td. All numbers are fair to poor for an NFL starter.

I wish him luck but he's going to have to get much, much better to make it in the NFL.

As much as I love Doug Flutie his NFL numbers were equally bad - even when he came back to the NFL.

You gotta wonder what Jacksonville is thinking. The guy will fill the stands. This is about economics, right?

This sports reporter made a good case for keeping Tim Tebow-- Tim Tebow's Past Performance Will Dictate His Roster Spot

At Denver, he did seem to do well in crisis situations in pulling his team from behind.

Still believe there is something else going on with Tim Tebow. Shattered self-confidence, team dynamics, etc. that is keeping him from doing better in the NFL.

Tim Tebow sent out a really nice tweet yesterday thanking the Patriots owner and coaches for allowing him to be part of such a 'classy organization' and saying he will pray for their sucess in the future.
