Tim Tebow for the Colts

[OldManP]

It would be interesting to have Tebow on the Colts.  I would like to see him used as a TE, in a spread offense, and as backup QB to Luck.  The occasional wildcat play could improve the red zone offense.

 

He would be a low-risk pick up.  Would not cost the Colts any draft picks.  He is realtively cheap, somewhere around $650k. 

[scousecolt]

Can't see Tebow wanting to go anywhere to play TE, he'll want to play QB somewhere. Even if he did agree to be a TE I still wouldn't want him to be honest. Massive pass on Tebow.

[HungarianColtsFan]

Are You kidding, bro?

 

No, no Tebow, no Tebow-mania...

 

Besides Tebow wants a starting QB job.

Please no. The media circus would be too much. I like the guy, I really do. If nobody knew who he was I'd possibly like it.

If you have two starting QBs, you have no starting QBs.

I'll pass on the teabow circus

lol Skip Bayless would really be hating on Luck if the Colts got Tebow. that being said, it would be a stupid move and i wouldn't want Andrew worrying about his job lol, sarcasm

[shadefourfive]

Just watch. The Patriots will get him and make everyone look dumb. He won't ever take a snap as qb but I could see him being used as a hb/fb/3 te set, splitting punt returns. I don't want him here but I hope he lands on his feet.

[Balzer40]

Wow, You would think that friends and family would tell you not repeat such horrifically bad idea's in public. They are letting you down man.

[OldManP]

It's all in how you use him. Tebow as an HB, FB, TE, wildcat QB.  I agree with shadefourfive, someone could come out looking like a genius.

If we sign Tebow I will riot!

Agreed!

It would be interesting to have see Tebow on the Colts Patriots.  I would like to see him used as a TE or H-Back, in a spread New England's offense, and as emergency backup QB to Luck Brady and Mallett.  The occasional wildcat play against the Jets could improve the red zone offense would burn Rex Ryan's fat ash..

 

He would be a low-risk pick up.  Would not cost the Colts Patriots any draft picks.  He is relatively cheap, somewhere around $650k. 

Now suitable for Forum consumption....no charge for the editing.

I think it's an interesting idea and an expansion on the Wildcat somewhat to use him as you describe. However I wouldn't want him here still, I think what you proposes would only work with a less pass heavy team, that and the I wouldn't want the whole distraction element. 

[Fatboyslim11]

That has to be the most ill informed post -ever. Tebow is not an NFL QB. After warching him with the JETS (Colts fan living in NJ) I can saassure you he really sucks as a player.

The Colts could be less predictable, the run can establish a passing game and vice-versa. 

 

I don't think Indianapolis would be a circus.  The guy is a football player, and he hasn't made headlines for DUI, punching out his girlfriend etc.  No reason why he can cause a circus.  Indy ain't New York.

[BOTT]

650k? That is $649,999 more than I would be willing to spend on Tim Turdbowl

Umm. What did you watch? I saw TWO passes from him all year. One was a 5 yard jump pass and the other was a nice 30 yard throw which was dropped. Other than that, it was Tebow up the middle, up the middle, then up the middle again. It was awful how the Jets used him. He's not a great qb, maybe not a qb at all but he's a hell of a player if you ask me.

 

I see him in like a Danny Woodhead/ Kevin Faulk position on NE. KC wouldn't be bad for him either.

Seriously...and I like Tim Tebow....but until he recites the words "I have no intention of competing for a starting QB position and will accept whatever role I'm given"....he may not ever even get another shot in the NFL.

 

Had Tebow been drafted in the 3rd or 4th round the narrative on him would be entirely different and alot of the vitriol he gets...plenty of it being gratuitous....probably wouldn't have happened.

 

But other than the pile of 1st round money he got.....Josh McDaniels did this kid no favors.

Fair points, I don't Tim himself acts like a celebrity as such, I just think wherever he goes the Media will follow like the scavengers they are. 

 

It would take a completely new offense to work this in and although it would give variety I prefer we stick to the path we are heading down as it is now. Although I suppose if BA does go now would be the time to consider such a thing. 

 

Tebow is almost like a supercar, fun to watch, has a huge fanbase, is capable of top level performance but ultimately isn't that practical for daily use.

I Thought you were Joking but your really serious.

No, I am serious, I don't have "a serious".

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Wouldn't really make any sense. We do not need another TE, so why bring an unproven TE in? We definitely do not need another QB, so why bring an another one? That proposal was not well thought out.

 

And most of all, why would we want that kind of distraction?

 

Like I said, doesn't really make any sense.

I'm certainly not promoting Tebow as candidate to displace Luck.  He's a good football player.  I could see him as effective as Gronkowski in run after catch.  Everyone complains about the O-line, maybe it's the play selection.

Now THAT has to be the most ill informed post -ever. You're not an NFL QB. Tebow is.

You are really stretching the definition of quarterback.

[Smonroe]

Great idea! He could be a personal protector again. Except instead of for the punter, he could do it for Luck. Off the field. I'm good with that.

[Franklin County]

Only upside to this if there is one would be homefield advantage at Jacksonville.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

smh 'Stuck on stupid' people irk me in the morning.

I don't think Tebow would be a great bodyguard.

Uhhh...no. It's the offensive line....which would exacerbate the problem of Tebow playing here.

 

Didn't you seen him behind the Jets line?

 

Look....on the Patriots, who would have the luxury of adding him for HB/TE/gadget plays.....and with Tom Brady etched in stone as the unquestioned starter...he might be worth the experiment. On the Colts....he is not.
