I really thought that Belichick was going to try to turn him into a wide receiver or running back but who ever knows what is in his head.

I hope that he has a career in football somewhere.

Might not be in Canada either according to Warren Moon. Warren Moon -- Tim Tebow throwing will not cut it in CFL - ESPN

One of the talking heads at the dog park (Doggie Doo Run Run) Bob the Artist had said that Tebow does not have the throwing arm for the NFL and it looks like that may even be more of a factor for the CFL.

I had hoped he would be able to do something to remain in the NFL. Was he resistant to changing positions? his twitter said he will be relentless in pursuing NFL quarterback.....

I hope Tebow would say "It is Gods will"

Not sure why people think, just because he's a good athlete, that a player can just choose to change positions.

Think about it for a minute - Let's say you think he could be a tight end - This year each NFL team has about 3 tight ends on the roster - that's less than 100 players total. That's 100 players in the WORLD who have the skill to be a tight end at the highest level. To say that a player who has never played the position could just switch and make a roster is a slap in the face to the hundreds of other players who couldn't make a team at tight end and were cut. You're saying that Tebow could just step right in and make a team over those players who played the position for 3-4 years in college?

I don't think it's as easy as some people make it out to be. Yes he maybe has a chance but he'd need to get a private coach and work on the skills it takes to undertake that challenge.

The world is littered with great athletes who just can't compete in that top 1/10 of 1% who make a team in the NFL.

Yes anything is possible, but not likely.

Agree with you. Was surprised the Pat's picked him up but thought if anyone one could help him reach his potential it would be this team, whether as a quarterback or in another position. He is a nice young man but that doesn't make him a great player. Hope his 15 minutes of fame isn't over. Hope he finds his stride and a new team soon.

the analysts seemed to bring up the subject of a position change a lot....John Gruden said he'd want Tebow on his team though didn't not say as a quarterback
from what I understand about Tebow, he's very hardworking and team members look admire his work ethic

He was a good college QB; never will be adequate in the NFL.
