"Part the Red Sea? Heck, he'd be lucky if he could HIT the Red Sea with a pass!" ;)

Sounds like a good carnival gimmick for charity. Name the major oceans, rivers, waterfalls, streams, ponds, creeks, & watering holes that Tebow can't hit. Sort of a where's Waldo way to test a person's geographic knowledge across the globe.

Not sure why you took offense at me saying Belichick isn't a genius, but whatever.

He is a genius though????? Look what he has done with ok talent, he has a few superstars, but nothing overpowering really...He makes them that way in my opinion, just my opinion, and I apologize I misunderstood and thought you was taking a shot at me....

This move was predidted by several a year or so ago. It was predicted the jets fiasco would be exactly what is was. This is a great match, if Tebow is to stay in the NFL only Belichek can mold him. The two should get along famously. Tebow has great discipline and determination and Belichek can find talent and put that talent to work. Tebow is in no way competing for the QB job like in NY. Coach will not let him speak to the silly media geeks, he will not permit another Jets circus show. Perhaps Tebow could be a fullback at least for blocking and a TE. I am a huge Belichek fan (but always root against him for obvious reasons) and admire him immensely. He will succeed if anyone will or Tebow is out forever.

Lol! Tim Tebow is a Patriot. :fireworks:

 

I like Tebow and it's not surprising that he wound up in New England. The kid's a winner. This is probably the best place for him. Obviously, Bill and Josh see something in him.

Anyhow, I'm not sure that he will make the team but if he does he won't play QB. Brady doesn't come out of games. He's still out there when it's 50-0. He isn't coming out for Tebow.

 

There's no risk to this. Belichick got him for nil. For 77 snaps, the Jets gave up a fourth-round pick and $2.5 million to the Broncos plus paid Tebow $1.5 million in salary last year.

 

Also, this will not be a distraction. Remember 2007?

I seem to remember him coming out last year during a certain MNF game. The last quarter of that one looked like a 4th preseason game.

Well we agree on one thing Luck being compared to Tebow,its deffinately no contest Luck hands down,as far as faith im not politicaly correct and if I want to share my faith I will no matter what the cosequenses.If Im not willing to share it im not worth a grain of salt.So that being said God Bless

Absolutely nothing wrong with Tebow showing and SHARING his faith....that is my first and final answer!

 

Tebow is NOT a good QB as we know, but pulled out MIRACULOUS wins in Denver.

 

What was his main mistake?  Picking the biggest mess/joke in the NFL to be traded to:  The New York Jets!!!  It was not Tebow who "brought a circus" to town...The freaking Jets MADE it ONE!!!!!  He could have gone to the other mess....the Jacksonville Jaguars where he would have filled the stands with many friends/fans.  New York was a HORRENDOUS mistake and almost cost him his NFL career.

 

Enter the proud tradition of the New England Patriots.  I do not think Tebow gets cut.  I think The Hoodie finds a way to mellow out the paparazzi!  A few "no comments" or UH...next questions come to mind.  haha  Randy Moss was a model citizen back when still 'brash' under BB, and we did not hear a whimper out of Ocho Cinco, Chad Johnson (The player to be named later ??) :funny: Mark my word....as the article below states:  Belichick HAS a plan!  :)

 

Here is a well written article from Forbes I think you will enjoy as a football fan and especially as a Pats fan.

Ha,ha. Great post man. I agree with all of it. I don't think he gets cut for awhile at least. Apparently the decision to sign him went all the way to the top. That does not happen with a guy you think you will cut in July. Now whether or not he is there in Sept? Not sure but I have to think he is at least the 53rd best player on the squad. Really depends if Bill wants to carry 2 QBs which he has done since 2007 or 3 QBs which he did prior to 2007. I think he may choose to carry 3 just because Tebow can do more than just play QB which makes him a valuable third back up....

Fair enough. Sometimes its hard to tell if you are actually excited about something the Patriots do or if you're just being an extreme homer who honestly believes that each Patriots player takes solid gold dumps.

 

 

Says the guy who has Pat Patriot as his avatar, Dynasty13 as his screen name, and Ricky Proel's quote from SB 36 as his signature ... ;)

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing people he does not exist. Have you all forgotten the Pats current QB was a nobody drafted in the sixth round? What will happen with this move cannot be judged by goofs on line when the guy with the job of molding this guy is Bill Belichick. Can anyone here offer up their resume to compare to Belichick's? I think not so curl you tongues until Tebow disappears into broadcasting or becomes a player.

It's weird. The Pats beat us by more points than they beat you, but I thought we put up more of a fight. Either way, we both got stomped. They were on another level for a while last season.

I think Tebow will stick and get the chance to learn under Brady and Belichick. He will see the field holding FG's, EP's and as the deep blocker for punts. He adds another dimension in those situations. He could also be on the hands team and on the line just ahead of the kick returners. He may play center field on D in long yardage situations. I think BB sees him as a Swiss Army Knife. And if he can become a better QB through practice and instruction it's a bonus.

Make no mistake. Tebow has football talent and BB will find a way to use it. The press has already been silenced and it's business as usual in Foxboro.

Putting up more of a fight and getting beat by more is actually worse. In my opinion. ;)

The Pats is the best place for Tebow to land.  BB will not let him be out there and doing his typical media coverage and soaking it up.  BB will not let the media be all over this story either.  We all ready saw that BB only allowed Tebow a 20 second comment compared to his entire circus he had back at New York.

 

I have no doubt that Tebow loves the media coverage as much as the media loves to cover him and BB will not let either one happen.  

 

With that said I think Tebow has a chance to stick if he is willing to do what BB will want him to do.  Tebow is pretty stuck on being a QB and nothing but a QB in this league and we know BB will takes WRs to be corners, corners to be safeties and LBs to be tight ends.  If he is willing to drop his ego and just be a football player I think he could make an impact as a redzone QB that is out there with Brady or a tight end at times.  He is not going to be the back up and he should just focus on being that situational player ala Troy Brown and get some time as a third QB.

Why do so many people think that Belichick will mold Tebow into a successful QB?  You can't mold a rock!

Because his track record is pretty good doing just that. Brady was a sixth round pick who split the starting QB job at Michigan his senior year. Slow as molasses too.

Brady was a sixth round pick who should not have fallen anywhere near that far.  Brady also already had the mechanics to be a great QB.  Brady also went to a team that was already very good so he wasn't asked to do much.

 

On the other hand, Tebow shouldn't have been drafted anywhere near the first round.  He should have been drafted in the later rounds as a TE instead of a QB.  This a passing league and Tebow's throwing motion is terrible and he's been working on it for three years now.  He was an outfielder in baseball and he throws a football like it's a baseball.  No one will ever be able to change his throwing motion.

somewhat accurate

 

 

Brady won starting job and Henson was his backup in 98 & 99

 

Saw many a game back then

 

I wouldnt say he was sharing much when henson had less than 50 attempts in 98 and Brady was firmly then instilled as starter , Henson had less than 90 attempts  in 99

 

Brady had about 200 attempts each year 98 & 99, think bit more in 98, bit less in 99

 

But will admit the press did cover it like this forum covers Maning Vs Brady due to Hensons reputation out of HS

 

once Brady left for pros Henson, now a junior became starter & still didnt play in every game in 2000

 

 If it wasnt for  Hensons supposed immense   potential there never would of been any splitting at aall 

 

Dont make Brady out to be as bad as u indicate, he really was quite good , same demeanor as now

 

But press made it seem unfavorable and many henson fans wanted henson as the newcomer savior he was supposed to be from day 1 at mich so they gave him a fare shot

 

This controversy is also 1 reason but surely not the main that Brady fell so far in the draft 

 

Henson also played with the Tampa Yankees as was signed from HS in 98 so I really dont remember how dedicated he was to football, i think he liked baseball best and did try & then fail in the minors and then went back to football and lost valuable learning years as he matured

 

He was signed to possibly try  & rob Brady of the starting job in Hensons fReshman 1998 year as was considered a cant miss QB out of HS like Luck was out of College but though had many a higlight , never ammounted to much, best came aafter Brady left, his 4 TD game in 2000 is Mich record

PS

Brady also  as starter  set Michigan records for most pass attempts and completions in a season

 

 I made a mistake, Hensons 4 TDs Tied Brady's record, Henson didnt set a record

 

Brady also took Mich to share of National colege championship

 

U got to love Bradys, Mich  Head  Coach Lloyd Car

 

The man lost his job after he punched another patron at the local hangout 2 miles from me, ( actually once lived 11/4 mile in back of it so knew it well )  Guy turned out to be a cop, Man the press was all over that

For the New England Patriots, Tim Tebow's contract is all upside

It seems the New England Patriots' contract with former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has lots of upside with little to lose.

Make that nothing to lose.

 

According to NBCsports.com, the Patriots' deal with Tebow is for two years and no guaranteed money. The agreement also carries a 2014 option for the team to keep Tebow on board or trade him to another team.

Brady did not have the mechanics to be a great QB when he was drafted. He made the Pats as the 4th string QB and then was coached by Bill and co. and became the back up to Bledsoe the following year. He has continued to improve his game over the years but Tebow has the much more decorated collegiate career including the Heisman and two BSC rings. His throwing needs work but so did Aaron Rodgers. But here is the key, Brady and Rodgers had orgs that worked to develope them. Tebow was not wanted in Denver by Elway and Fox and clearly not wanted in NY so he has not been groomed so we really don't know how much he could improve. The Pats will see how far they can take him.

      Your surprise opening day starter

      By Two_pound · Posted

      He won 't be a starter, but Carlies is going to get a lot of defensive snaps this year. The surprise starter- Bortolini at right guard. Mitchell will be starting, but that won 't be a surprise. Go Colts, this team is loaded!

      2025 Mock Draft

      By OhioColt · Posted

      The Colts have a long list of upcoming 2025 Free Agents:   Colts 2025 Free Agents: OC Ryan Kelly SS Julian Blackmon TE Mo Alie-Cox DT Taven Bryan RG Will Fries 8m SLB Ronnie Harrison 2.4m Edge Dayo Odeyingbo 6m WLB EJ Speed TE Kylen Granson 5m QB Joe Flacco TE Eric Tomlinson WR Ashton Dulin OC Danny Pinter Edge Genard Avery CB Dallis Flowers – RFA Round 1 tender 6.945m / Round 2 tender 4.978m CB Darrell Baker Jr. RFA LG Wesley French RFA QB Sam Ehlinger RB Trey Sermon RG Jack Anderson WR Juwann Winfree WR Tyrie Cleveland WR DJ Montgomery RFA MLB Segun Olubi ERFA 960k / worth 1.4m CB Chris Lammons LG Arlington Hambright RFA – cut RT Lewis Kidd ERFA 960k LB Grant Stuard – cut RB Tyler Goodson ERFA 960k LG Josh Sills RFA – cut LB/Edge Isaiah Land ERFA – 960k resign SLB Cameron McGrone ERFA – cut DB Trevor Denbow ERFA – 960k resign WR Ethan Fernea ERFA -960k? CB Marcel Dabo ERFA – 840k? WLB Austin Ajake ERFA – 840k? FS Kendell Brooks ERFA – 840k? SLB Liam Anderson ERFA – 840k? WR Zavier Scott ERFA – 840k? TE Jordan Murray ERFA – 840k? WR Michael Tutsie ERFA – 840k?   Of the above really like to see the Colts resign Ronnie Harrison, Dayo Odeyingbo, Kylen Granson, Dallis Flowers, and Segun Olubi.  In order to free up cap space it wouldn't shock me to see Braden Smith traded.  Not ideal but only way at this point in time to see freeing up available cap space.  Would love to add OC Connor Williams who is still a free agent but suffered an ACL injury late in 2023.  Before his injury Williams ranked as the 3rd best OL in 2023 in zone-heavy scheme.  Recoding a league best 92.4 run-blocking grade on zone concepts and equally impressive in pass protection allowing just six pressures on 280 pass sets.    No doubt the Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.   Mock Draft   Round 1 WLB Harold Perkins Jr. (LSU) - As a true freshman led all LBs in Power 5 with a 91.0 pass-rush grade and second among all LBs in the country with 18 QB knockdowns (sacks/hits) and tied for second in the country with 4 *.  In 2023 as a true off-ball LB he struggled as a run defender but flashed in coverage, 81.1 coverage grade.  At the end of 2023 now recorded 27 TFLs and 13 sacks with 7 forced fumbles.  Made 2022 college football all-America Freshman Team.  In 2022 his 87.6 pass-rush grade by true freshman is 3rd best since the 2014 era, behind (Rueben Bain Jr-2023 and Myles Garrett-2014).  2022 PFF TOW 11 honors.  Like JOK, Perkins has a chance to win the Butkus Award.  Both JOK and Perkins have similar builds and ran a 4.42s-forty.  Do expect Perkins’ stats to dip if he does move to MLB and probably drop him to Round 2 grades much like Edgerrin Cooper in 2024 Draft Class.  Quick to drop into zone and covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 MIKE but some feel better suited as a WLB maximize range/speed.  Expecting Shaquille ‘Darius’ Leonard 2018-2021 vibes along with JOKs 2021-2023 production traits.  Both were drafted in Round 2 but should been first rounders.  Perkins replaces EJ Speed.   Round 2 Edge/RDE Elijah Alston (Miami) –Alston was an All-Sun Belt selection in 2023.  In 2023 he had a 91.0 overall grade and 90.5 pass-rushing grade based on 235 pass rush snaped while at Marshal Alston also racked up 36 QB pressures, 5 sacks plus 24 defensive stops during this period.  By mid-November Alston was ranked 4th best (Marshawn Kneeland was #3) Edge behind #1 Latu whom the Colts selected in Round 1.   2023 College Football All-Sun Belt Team.  Looking forward to the Cal game and how he does against RB Jaydn Ott, RT Victor Stoffel, and LG Rush Reimer.  Duke’s new RT Micah Sahakian matchup is another one would like to see.  RB Quinton Cooley (Wake Forest) who transferred from Liberty and earned 2023 College Football All-CUSA Team is another key matchup.  Finally, TE/WR Oronde Gadsden II of Syracuse could test his coverage skills.  The Colts done well and am looking forward to seeing Paye/Latu tandem then creating another one with Odeyingbo and Alston.  Ebukam will be a FA after 2025 but could be cut/traded save cap space.  Close build to Ebukam and Leo with 2” taller than Avery with Avery an upcoming FA and no guarantee we can resign Odeyingbo with the minimal cap space currently projected.   Round 3 LT J.C. Davis (Illinois) - The New Mexico Lobos ran a zone-scheme concept 318 times in 2023 and Davis was on the field for 316 of those snaps where he helped the team earn a 91.5 rushing grade with 58 explosive runs.  Davis is well-rounded earning a 78.6 inside-zone run grade and a 78.4 outside-zone run grade.  See how well Davis does after transferring the Big 10 this season.  Overall, 82.4 run-blocking grade in 2023.  Comparison Illinois Isaiah Adams was drafted #71 by Arizona and was ranked 8th best zone OL in 2023 and Davis was 5th best.  In 2022 Davis earned a 66.8 overall PFF grade and in 2023 had an 87.1 pass-blocking grade.  If the Colts do trade/cap release Braden Smith than Davis is a high target to hopefully take early to replace him.   Round 4 TE Jalin Conyers (Texas Tech) - In 2022 Conyers forced 21 missed tackles which led all TEs in the country.  Plus, ranked 4th in receiving yards after contact (170).  As a redshirt freshman in 2021 had a 73.5 pass-blocking grade while playing at Arizona State.  Conyers can be elusive with the ball in his hands.  In his first season was used heavily as a run-blocker (2021) and excelled as a blocker ranking him 4th in the Pac-12.  Back in August 2023 Rick Spielman said he may be the best run-blocking TE in the class behind Cade Stover.  Considered a true Y TE efficient at run-blocking and can catch with run-after ability.  Spielman said last year would have had a Late Day 2 grade, while Ryan Wilson says Rounds 3-4.  Potential to be a red zone monster in the NFL if he continues to grow his game.  Last year Round 4 was where tight ends were drafted and expect the same again in 2025.  Replaces Mo Alie-Cox.   Round 5 Edge/RDE Anton Juncaj (Arkansas) – 2023 College Football FCS All-America Team while at Albany.  2022 PFF grade of 75.1.  2023 final defense grade of 91.3, run defense 87.4, pass rush 90.6 and 68.5 coverage grade and racked up 55 tackles (34 solo), 21.5 TFL, 15 sacks, 3 PD and forced 5 fumbles.  Key matchups against RB Ollie Gordon II (Oklahoma St) the Reigning Doak Walker Award Winner from 2023 and projected first rounder LT Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas).   Round 6 Rover/SLB-SAF Justin Barron (Syracuse) - 2023 College Football All-ACC Team.  Defensive Captain. 6’4” 231 pounds had 0.5 sacks, 3 *, 1 FR, 1 INT, and 8 PDs in 2023 (81.4 PFF grade).  In 2022 had 64 tackles and 5 TFLs.  Reminds me of Jaylon Carlies whom the Colts just drafted in Round 5P151.  Key matchup versus Cal and RB Jayden Ott.  WR Eric Singleton Jr (Georgia Tech), WR Kevin Concepcion (NC State), WR-X Ricky White (UNLV), RB Desmond Reid, TE Justin Joly (UConn).  Solid in zone coverage.   Round 7 SS Mishael Powell Miami (FL) – Powell transferred from Washington.  In Week 8 he clocked 21.0 mph.  In 876 snaps in 2023 Powell played 477 in the slot, 165 in the box, and 122 at FS finishing with a strong 73.9 coverage and 69 defensive grades.   Potential UDFAs ·         QB KJ Jefferson (Arkansas) -

      Larry Allen passed away at 52

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Larry Allen, Hall of Fame OG/OT, passed today. He is arguably the greatest Offensive Linemen of all-time. He could play right or left Guard or Tackle. He won a SB with the Cowboys in 1995. He is also known for having the NFL bench press record, when he benched 700 pounds down to chest and up once. I am shocked this hasn't been bigger news around the league.    RIP big fella.
