Tim Tebow refuses position change:

http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/9640640/tim-tebow-refused-change-positions-report?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm;_medium=twitter

That is consistent with what I heard as well regarding his time with the Pats.  They knew Gronk was hurt and AH had legal trouble so they brought in Tebow as TE/QB3 but he balked at playing TE and couldn't make the team as QB3.  He's just not good enough as only a QB to warrant a roster spot.  He's an amazing athlete and person but he lacks the release and timing a pro QB needs to make it in the NFL.

If he ever agrees to play TE or FB he has the potential to be very good and the fact he can take snaps at QB makes him even more valuable.

He could. But I would bet him it would be intercepted and run back for a touchdown!

interesting use of statistics. while all the numbers may be valid, the assumptions and conclusions can be read different ways. for example, the article uses these numbers to bolster the argument:

He's already been on the Biggest Loser so I guess that's the direction he's headed.

If the Pats and Jets didn't want him, perhaps instead he should look to the Sox and Mets?

Or re-enroll into college under a new name. Poor guy doesn't know when he's done. Reminds me of this guy.

To be fair to Tim Tebow, though ... coach DID put him in and they DID win "state."  Twice.

And if he offered me a bet that he could throw the ball over them mountains over there, I would politely decline.

Whatever anyone thinks about Tebow, I'll always remember fondly the TD that sunk the rotten, lousy Steelers in the playoffs a few years back. That was awesome.

That game shouldn't have even been in Denver.

But hey, how about them Bungles?

I hate the Steelers way more than I like the Bengals.

Besides, they actually win more games than they lose in most years recently. I old enough to know that ain't all bad.

Typical. Though more typical of Browns fans, really.

Worry about your own team. How far did the Bengals get in the playoffs that year? Or last year? :-P

Or any of the three years before that. I know what they've done.

There is a bunch of bitching by some people, but I remember the 90s. The novelty of watching a team make the playoffs hasn't gotten old for me.

One other quick question for you @iacas. Have the Steelers bought a leash for Porter yet?

No. They said some guy dressed in orange and black bought them all for some guy named "Vontaze."

I'll never understand this.  My dad is the same way - despises the Yankees and Giants way more than he likes the Dodgers.

Of course, I don't even understand caring enough about a team to worry about what happens more than about 3 seconds after any game ends.  I enjoy watching games sometimes and enjoy seeing my teams do well (which never happens) but just don't care about any of it once the games are over.

If you aren't a hater its hard to explain, but It is the hate that keeps you warm.

Not sure if that helps.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
