[NDPhilly]

Per Adam Schefter the New England Patriots have signed Tebow.

Wow

Probably the best fit for him. No QB controversy, obviously, and Belichick is smart enough to find a good use for Tebow, other than punt team.

 

[Kak7304]

He's not a starting QB in the NFL but he definitely has ability and can be effective if used correctly.

 

[GATTACA!]

I don't understand all the Tebow hate. People always bash him talking about how he has no talent can't throw ect. But all he did in Denver was win. It wasn't always pretty, but it wasn't pretty at Florida either. I would give the kid a shot, why not?

 

[Big23Head]

Agreed the Pats are the best team for Tebow in many regards. Will be doing most work at TE.

Patriots signing Tim Tebow, will be at minicamp Tuesday

 

[NDWorld247]

Love it.

Football is a team game. Tebow had a chance to win most of those games because he had an incredible defense and also had some pretty great luck. He's not a very good passing QB but he is very tough and has a unique skillset. He's more of a fullback with a decent arm than a QB.

 

[Veer option]

I wasnt aware the Pats needed a fullback.

 

[BobD]

The New England welcoming committee already met with him.

This can't be emphasized enough. The defense stepped up big time when he took over.

He really couldn't have asked for a better team to go to. They keep it tight with the media. With that being said Te bow gave me that much more of a reason to hate the patriots

 

[irishfan]

Pretty pumped as a Pats fan. Just gives defenses another thing to worry about.

Great situation. Fans aren't going to be calling for Tebow when Brady throws an INT. He was too much of a distraction in his last two stops because of up in the air QB situations. In New England, he can focus on his specific role.

I think a majority of the hate isn't directed towards Tebow himself, but rather the media oversaturation. Unfortunately, the same thing has happened to Manti over the past year.

 

[BobD]

I hope Brady doesn't crack under the pressure of having some competition.

 

[Irish Fam]

How many will he score against the Jets this year?

Belichick loves doing **** like this.

Patriots sign Tim Tebow

Sounds like a Patriot Act violation.

no good can come from this for the Pats

Was metadata involved?

 

[Calabrese's People]

Josh Daniels knows what he's getting with Tebow so either:
1. They'll stash him at the end of the roster and utilise him to fill in holes wherever them pop up (TE, RB, QB) for a play or two at a time.
or
2. They want to pick his brains about the Jets.
Either way, its worth exploring...

i dont think the Pats need to know anything about the Jets lolz

 

[dublinirish]

the signing is now official btw

 

[chicago51]

This actually might not be a total train wreck.

 

[nlroma1o]

Ha... ha... ha.... as a Jets fan this is just freakin perfect.... fml.... The Pats will be up something like 45-3 in the 3rd qtr and Tebow will come on and score some ridiculus 60 yard touchdown run. Mark my words, this will happen... God i hate rex ryan....

yeah its pretty much written in the stars and you know Bill is gonna savour the moment

 

[BobD]

My friend who is a Patriots fan won't answer his text messages this morning. Having Tebow has become like playing Tag, "Your it"

 

[Kak7304]

He might even smile.

 

[kmoose]

I'm surprised that the League office would allow this transaction...........

The Patriots have Brady and Belichik, and now GOD is going to be on their side, too?

So much for parity!
