Tebow has already lived up to his potential....mediocrity at best.

That's including ancient history. What's the record in the Belichick/Brady era?

And so that I fully understand this, you are rubbing our noses in a losing record?

I don't know about that. Tim Tebow has excelled at every level that he's played. He was a legend in high school. He went on to become one of the greatest college players in history. He was then drafted into the NFL where he took his team into the playoffs and threw several game winning passes, one to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a playoff game.
He also is a very versatile player and with a mind like Belichick who knows what we are likely to see.
I'd say his potential is huge.

I agree, Belichick is the best coach in the league but wonder what position Bill has in mind for Tebow?

Please - I'm talking Brady era only - not throwback. But I get your point.

Tebow is a no dissention, no risk play. If, IF, he earns a spot he will play whatever and wherever Bill tells him to with no talk back. Yes Sir is all he will say.

Moss worked out great until he wore out his welcome and Tebow has a chance. Probably not as a starting QB but a chance to make an impact. Quality guy.

At least that is my opinion and I can go to work later this week and tell everyone I "told you so". I knew Bill loved him.

The only thing I would add besides Uggh, is I highly doubt they will use him to run the option. It is much more likely he will be a halfback or flanker type of player in addition to some role on special teams. Like everyone else, the more versatile he is the better chance he has to make the team. Him making the team is no guarantee.

Pats fan since they built a stadium in my home town of Foxborough. Before that it was NY Giants as my Dad from Jersey and did anyone really watch the AFL? Owned Pats season tickets for many losing years. I remember a local car dealer would buy out the last thousand or so seats for a game just so it would be on local television. Times have certainly changed.

I have never quite figured out why so many dislike Mr. Tebo. Every time I have seen him in an interview, he strikes me a solid young man, even a role model in a sports world where they can be hard to find. I think the media has a lot to do with our impression of folks.

I have no idea if he will make team or play or what he will do, but IMO it is all upside for Tebo. For one thing he will not be part of a QB media controversy as long as Brady is healthy.

For another he can sit and watch film with Mr. Brady and ask questions and observe and soak it all in. Not many players have that access....

It will be fun to see unfold no matter how it turns out....

The question was "have you seen the Pats record against the Jets". Sounds like a pretty simple question to me, but then I'm not a Pats fan. Next statement you're have difficulty with is "NE has the edge but nothing feels better than to rub NE fans noses in it now and then". Granted, NE has the edge and have outplayed the Jets in recent years but this statement has nothing to do with the record. It has everything to do with the occasions where the Jets have kicked the Pats butts. Actually I'm happy whenever the Pats get a whupping. Go Giants!!

I agree. Tebow has been a winner at every stage in his career. He's a smart guy and certainly knows that his chances of playing QB in NE are slim to none. Used correctly, Tebow can be a tremendous asset to an offense and the Pats coaching staff is definitely capable of making good use of this smart, strong, fast, multi-talented football player. Too bad the Jets are coached by a buffoon and a cast of clowns. They had a versatile weapon on their roster and couldn't figure out how to use him. I suspect that they're about to get an education.

Guess you either love him or hate him. I'm a Univ of FL gradx2 and love my gators.
Tebow won it all for us. My sense of him is that he is one of those amazingly energetic charismatic sincere leaders who goes all out in everything he does, doubtless stepping on toes of those who don't want to be his groupie or resent how high he sets the bar.
Not to mention that from a woman's view he's as good looking as my son, the Ben Affleck clone.
Bring it on! I can't wait...

[patfla06]

Just don't get it!
Tebow hasn't done a thing since he left college.
What are the Pats thinking?

I am SO over the hype of Tebow.

[batman911]

I'm thinking replacement for Welker.

[AriaGrandparents2013]

You watch........Tebow will be either playing a receiver position or playing running back replacing Danny Woodhead.......Josh Daniels drafted him and with Belicheck will devise some offense plays to best utilize Tebow's skill set.

I'll make for an interesting 2013 Season watching to see how this develops.

Where in The Villages can you watch Pats games?

You're going to replace Welker, one of the most prolific NFL receivers in terms of catches of all time, with a guy who has NEVER been a wide receiver in his life? Don't think so.

Will he come out of the backfield to receive a pass every now and then? Yes (maybe). But not 110 catches per year!

Let's have him make the roster first before we put him in the HOF.

I don't think the Pats need the Jets' play book!
