What happens to Tebow? (1 Viewer)

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings

I assume that Denver would either A) Try and trade him, B) Release him, C) Keep him (I can't see this).

Which teams would be the most likely trading partners?

- Miami (M. Flynn??, M. Moore)

- Seattle (T. Jackson)

- Cleveland (M. McCoy)

- Jacksonville (B. Gabbert, C. Henne)

- ???

I'm a fan of Tebow's (the player and the person). No apologies. I hate to see the way this is all shaking out, but I'm sure he'll land on his feet. Just wondering what the next twist in the road will be for him professionally.

 
He will sit and watch and learn form Manning and Elway. Maybe even get better. Noone is even certain Manning can play right away. No need to trade Tebow.

 
I was just questioning this in the Manning thread. I think this is a tough thing to tell. I don't see any team giving up a first for Tebow. Would Denver trade him for a mid round pick? If that is all Denver can get do they hang onto him in case Manning can't stay healthy?

I think in the end they would prefer to move Tebow and bring in a more conventional backup but would they move him for a mid round pick? Would Miami be more interested in bringing in a guy like Tebow to Florida over Flynn?

A lot of pieces left unanswered at this point.

 
This is the perfect out for Elway. No other QB would have the confidence or ability to step into that situation like Manning will.

Elway was never a Tebow guy and has made it quite clear over and over again. The fans won't be upset as you land an elite QB and Tebow will be traded for whoever pays the most which I don't know what that will fetch at this stage.

Tebow will take it in stride and say all the right things. But this has to be bothering him. I can't think of too many people in his given situation would be able to handle the whole thing like he will.

Miami seems like a team that makes sense. They are more about the business side of things and will cash in on Tebow. The problem is football wise I don't know how successful that situation is. In saying that, Tebow did well in a Denver situation that looked quite gloom as well.

They will trade him for whatever they can get for him. The last thing John Elway wants is questions about Tebow.
 
If the Broncos get Peyton, no way do the Broncos keep Tebow. Peyton will not want to deal with the Tebow circus, and I have to believe that Elway has promised him that he'll trade Tebow if Peyton comes to Denver.

Good Posting.Can you imagine if Manning has a couple bad games in a row and Denver is not playing well? The media circus and non stop questions would be off the charts. Elway I am sure has assured Manning that if he signs Tebow will be traded.
 
As I think of it I do agree that I think Elway wants to remove Tebow from the roster because he does not believe in him and this would be the perfect out for him so I agree that I think Tebow is as good as gone if Manning signs. Maybe Miami coughs up one of those 3rd round picks they got for Marshall for him?

If Denver gets Manning, I really don't think they trade Tebow. Here's why:

[*]only other QB rostered is Weber (undrafted FA). I would not feel comfortable putting the ball in the hands of a 36 yr old QB after he took a year off, without a legit back-up. Odds are good PM will miss some time in 2012, need to have a contingency plan. Don't even mention Gabbert in Denver. I will reach through the innernet and choke out anyone who suggests such a thing.

[*]Tebow has three years remaining on a very affordable rookie contract.

[*]IMO, it's better to have a back-up QB with a different style than the starter. can anyone legitimately run PM's offense? I think it would be better to change the offense if you have to change the QB. (if Tebow is the guy, I likewise don't think that the Broncos should have a college option QB as back-up).

[*]By the time Manning hangs it up, Tebow will have had a year or two to refine his game. I would expect major improvements in technique by then. Tebow as a legit pocket passer would be dominant.

[*]as of right now, there really isn't a market for his services. Jacksonville is the only team that wants him, right? I don't think there are a lot of teams clamoring for a QB with limited throwing abilities out there. Without competition, they low-ball Denver and offer a 2nd or 3rd. To me, that's just not worth it; I would hope EFX agrees.

[*]there would be a pretty significant fan back-lash if Tebow is let go.

I heard an interview with Cecil the other day where he says that the "trade Tebow" meme is something that sportswriters made up to get viewers and page-clicks. Let's face it - it's a pretty sexy story, and anytime you can bring drama to the Tebowites, they will eat it up.

Would Tebow be pissed that his starting gig gets yanked? No doubt. would he demand a trade? He might, but I don't think that's really in Tebow's nature. Would the Broncos grant that trade? I really don't think so; I don't think EFX wants to go through that again.

Do you really think this even came up in the conversation? Manning is sweating Tebow?
 
All of you mentioning Miami need to explain how Tebow is going to run Philbin's offense. I'm guessing that his goal is going to be to mirror what he did in Green Bay. Tebow would be the worst choice to try and run that type of offense.

 
Jacksonville as a potential destination is completely fabricated by media and fans. Gene Smith passed on drafting Tebow when he had the chance and did draft Gabbert just last year. He's not giving up on Gabbert and he's not interested in Tebow.

No way. Tebow is the worst possible choice to back up Manning. The offense will be built around Peyton's skillset, and you couldn't find two other guys who play the position more differently.
 
I still think if Manning signs there Tebow is gone because Elway just does not want him. They would probably bring in another free agent to back up Elway. I think a guy like a Shaun Hill type would be a perfect fit behind Manning.

Buffalo or Philly... Andy Reid is interested... makes you wonder about Vick since they also inquired about trading for RG3

Where are you seeing Andy Reid is interested? All I've seen is speculation by Fox that Philly could be a destination.http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/sports/eagles/is-tim-tebow-now-an-option-for-eagles-030912If Vick is gone after the 2012 season and the Eagles need a quarterback, Tebow would be an option if he isn't traded this season.The Eagles reportedly liked Tebow as a prospect when he entered the pro draft, just not as a first-round pick.The X Factor would be the presence of Andy Reid in Philadelphia beyond this season. If Reid remains, Vick goes and the Eagles don't draft a quarterback this April, expect some talk to pick up.

Bingo-give this poster a cigar. And why in God's name would Manning want the media circus after two rough games, the bill boards, the stupid headlines "Manning is Savior but maybe God favors Tebow after all?" Manning would have insist he goes I think.

Exactly right. Broncos need to make this happen to avoid a messy divorce with Tebow and his fan club.

There are not a lot of possibilities where he could step in and start. You pretty much named them. Now, how many of those teams have their eye on a QB in the draft?
 
Can't wait to see Tebow's press conference where he asks why the Broncos have forsaken him.

I think this is the answer. They'll shop him as quiet as they can because plenty of fans are going to see that Manning isn't there for the long term. Maybe Jacksonville bites.But I think more than likely they still end up with him and have Manning mentor him in terms of QB skills. I think it would probably grease the wheel in terms of getting Tebow to work out at some other positions so he can get on the field and off the sideline over the next 2-3 seasons. And his fans can still be his fans if he does it that way. Tebow is a good kid and a team player. I don't think his ego is so great that he would argue that he should start over Manning. I think he'll sit back and learn patiently and be willing to help the team anyway he can, even if it's taking snaps at some other positions while Manning is there.

Imagine the fans if Manning comes in and crashes because of his neck? Manning gives Elway time to work the Tebow situation out. He can bench Tebow without repercussion and Manning helps remind the fans what a real QB looks like if he does want to part with Tebow down the road. He's better off if the fans leave Tebow than if he makes Tebow leave the fans.People are right that having Tebow run Manning's offense is asking a square peg to fit in a round hole. But at the same time, it didn't take too long to transition the offense in 2011 from Orton to Tebow. And when you're calling run plays 80% of the time, it's not like you're having to reconfigure the running plays. So while you may have to tweak the passing plays you call, you're only calling 10 total in a whole game anyway. And you've already been through this before in 2011, so you can dust off the Tebow playbook rather than reinvent the wheel. And it's not that complicated a wheel to reinvent even if you had to. Simplification should be easier to implement than is complexity.

I think this is often misconstrued. Manning will run whatever offense they give him and he will run it well. It's not like he has to have the run-n-shoot implemented to be successful. Nor are they going to completely reconfigure the roster for his 2-3 year window either. He's going to be asked to fit in with what they already have in place. And it won't be hard because he's a smart QB who is professional and works his ### off to prepare. Tebow you have to make concessions for, Manning you don't. But you may have to make concessions for any backup because, if he were as good as the starter, he wouldn't be your backup.Are they going to pass more than they did last year? You bet. But I suspect that Fox will be fine using the running game to protect Manning until he's confident Manning isn't fragile. And even after they open things up, they know how to scale it back again if Manning went down and Tebow became the guy again.

Tebow for Gabbert makes too much sense

I disagree. In fact I think it makes very little sense. This idea that Jaguars fans are sitting around wishing the team could somehow find a way to get Tebow is way off base. The local Gator fans are very vocal about Tim, but most Jaguars have no interest in him as a QB.

the broncos winning at the end of the year was Elway's worst nightmare. He doesn't want Tebow leading his team.

He will do anything to find a way to get away from Tebow without the fans calling for his head, and Manning is the one guy that everyone will accept.

The only teams that will want tebow are those that have no hope and need fans. In a few years his supporters will be a laughingstock.

 
he dies and goes to heaven.

ETA: on the 2013 season he rises again to play against the living and the dead.

Serious question -- could he play RB? He's a playmaker and a gamer, don't you usually try and put the ball in your playmakers' hands? The DEN RBs suck. Of course this assumes Tebow would be OK with that.

FF commissioners everywhere (and especially dynasty/keeper leagues) would have a stroke. But that sounds fun.
 
JAX is about the only destination I could see. And he'd have a chance to compete for the starting job there.

I agree. But it does not matter how often it is said, people are still going connect the Jaguars and Tebow whenever possible. And by "possible" I mean whenever some yahoo decides to brings it up with no reasonable basis for the opinion.

They should trade him to the Patriots. McDaniels was the one who was in love with Tebow, makes sense to trade him there.

:goodposting:I was just about to post this, but not because of McDaniels. Bellichek was enamored with him before the draft and as I understand it there is a connection there. I could see the hoodie bringing him in and using him with his strengths. Brady certainly has nothing to worry about.Perhaps a straight up trade of Mallett for Tebow?
