That's true. No team wants to deal with media distraction for a backup. Same deal with Michael Sam. Why put up with the distraction for guys who may never take any meaningful snaps. Guys like Adrian Peterson & Greg Hardy will have media swarming them too but they'll still be employed. The reason why is they're elite talents. The more talent you have the more you can get away with.Quote:

It's the b.s/talent ratio - Tebow is on the wrong end of that. Alot of it isn't his fault, but that's how it goes. If I'm his agent, I point out to him he is a college football legend, has an excellent future in television both of which will keep him well paid and healthy. There is no shame in being one of the best college athletes of all time.Quote:

Well, it wasn't exactly a literal statement, I was unaware people might miss that. It was more of a statement that I think his future is off the field and he should just get on with it.Quote:

Well everyone had kinda moved on from tebow, but this signing will rekindle extreme interest from his fans and haters. If tebow somehow starts this year for the Eagles, his brand will explode again. His agent is loving this move bc it's no risk/high reward. Like I said before, tebow will always have TV.Quote:

Can' believe you just cited a Poll taken from "..923 registered Florida voters ."Quote:

Remember .. reading is fundamental!
Man, you Tebow fans are desperate to be Martyrs.Quote:

I might agree with you somewhat but we don't know the demographic of the voters. Based on that and the fact we do know is only Florida voters then you have to discount the poll given what we do know. As far as we know it could have been a question asked only on the campus of Florida to students who are registered Dem.Quote:

Ok now post their records. Until he stops winning he deserves to still play. Does QBR account for rushing stats?Quote:

Geno Smith 11 wins 18 losses
Mark Sanchez is actually respectable 41 wins 35 losses
Also it's interesting that 3 of these QBs are Eagles now.
All this poll can answer is "what less than 1000 random FLORIDA residents think of Tim Tebow." PERIODQuote:

I do assessment and analysis. I write survey questions to get answers to determine utility. This poll is ONLY about Floridians attitudes.
Tebow's winning % is 9th best in the league btw. He's ahead of Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Cam Newton, Eli Manning, Matt Stafford and a whole bunch more. He wins games. Till he doesn't he deserves a spot in the NFL.
you proved my point. A much greater % of 'registered voters' in FLORIDA know 'who' Tim Tebow is and skews the poll. My issue is with citing the poll and methodology to say something that it doesn't.Quote:
