Philadelphia Eagles are done with Saint Tebow, who wants him next

It was an interesting pre-season but I knew that guy wasn't going to start the season in a Philadelphia Eagles Jersey. Who wants him next? Maybe someone has a PeeWee Football team they could use a new QB?

1. Tebow has two basic problems
Tue Sep 8, 2015, 06:18 PM

First, he brings a press-circus atmosphere along with him. And that is something the average NFL coach finds about as welcome as a huge flock of rabid bats dive-bombing the practice field.

Secondly, 'as Matt Taibbi, of Rolling Stone, put it, “Tim Tebow trying to throw a forward pass is like a moose trying to fuck a washing machine.”)' Source: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/04/02/backup

2. I love that all his fans are still screaming that the NFL is not giving him a chance

I guess he'll have to go through every NFL team until then. I feel for him but I enjoy his fans anguish.

3. Is that pinhead Skip Bayless still screeching about Tebow?

Gads, he and Stephen A. Smith have to be the most sanctimonious blowhards in "sports journalism."

6. What's funny is our starting QB is also a big time Christian

he just gets the job done and can play football. So the Eagles aren't anti-Christian we just want people who can play the game. Bradford can but Tebow can't.

8. One of my friends at work is always saying they don't give him a chance

and my response is always they don't GIVE anyone a chance, you have to earn it. He hates that response.

No, srsly, it's a thing, although it has rebranded itself as the "Legends Football League".

11. Thing that annoys me is they have no clue that he isn't the only Christian QB on the team

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bradford#Personal

Bradford also appeared in a short film of testimonials from celebrity videos called I Am Second, sharing his faith about Jesus Christ and winning the Heisman Trophy.[84]

In 2009, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett declared January 13 as "Sam Bradford Day" in Oklahoma City.[85]

Sam Bradford, current Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy and former Philadelphia Eagles teammate Tim Tebow wrote a book together about their college experiences and faith leading up to the NFL draft. Six years later Bradford and Tebow both play in Philadelphia while McCoy plays in the same NFC East division down in Washington.


Sam Bradford IS our starting QB for the Philadelphia Eagles. So it seems his a Christian too. However until I read his Wiki page I had no clue about the fact that Bradford was a bigtime Christian. Why? Because first, he doesn't make a big deal about it but instead he just seems like he gets out there and does his job and second, he actually does seem like he has the skillsets to be an NFL Quarterback.

12. What's even worse is that he could be on a team if he changed positions
Wed Sep 9, 2015, 04:11 PM

If he really wanted to be in the NFL, he could switch positions to a TE or a FB, and he would be on a team today. Hundreds of college players have done this. He's just pig headed.

13. Now just STOP IT!!

That's common sense and something that has left the room ages ago with Saint Tebow. He says Jesus will make him an NFL QB stuperstar and that's that.

that there aren't enough head injuries in the NFL to make that happen, but I could be wrong.
