I think this sucks some of the oxygen out of their summer camp and deflects attention away from Meyer and Lawrence with the media. It's pretty smart. Tebow is hype on two legs, which I don't necessarily blame him for, but he seems to get clicks and draw attention no matter what he's doing.
Whether this is intentional or not, I think it could wind up being a nice distraction for Urban at his first NFL gig and Lawrence being the first overall pick in the draft.
I honestly don't know why you'd *want* to distract from your rookie QB and new 'face of the franchise' guy.
Unless Urban is trying to make amends in the eyes of God for his previous poor decisions, this seems like Urban going back to the well to do his most beloved former player a favor.
And who knows? Maybe it works out and Tebow becomes a Taysom Hill-type of guy that they can do a little of everything with.
But I think it's more likely that Urban has irritated some of his offensive personnel, particularly the TE room. There are probably quite a few free-agent TE's in their mid-20's with previous experience as blockers that would be better signings than Tebow, at least if you're REALLY trying to strengthen your TE room.
So this is either a publicity stunt, which would be Urban taking advantage of his old pal, or this is Urban doing his old friend a favor, which is terrible business.
If Urban ACTUALLY believes that Tebow would be valuable as a TE, after 7 years away from the game and at 33-years old, then he's going to fail quickly as an NFL HC.
