The rumors have spread; all the idiots have given their own
opinion, and now its time for these idiots to give an opinion as well.

Just thought of a positive: Looks AMAZING with his shirt off. |
As some of you may have heard this guy… Peyton Namming… or
something like that, signed with the Denver Broncos today. While normally that would
be the most important news in the world of sports, it has already been
forgotten, put aside, and made way for Tim Tebow. Since that time, rumors have
been flying and teams have been named as Tebow’s next destination.
The one name that keeps coming up as a “makes perfect sense,
but will never happen” scenario is the Philadelphia Eagles. Andy Reid and Marty
Mornhinweg are obsessed with quarterbacks, and they have proven themselves to
be somewhat of gurus when it comes to developing quarterbacks. Obviously, just
with this first point being made, the debate starts. The real question is: Yay
or Nay?
Why we should trade for Tim Tebow.
The reasons we should trade for Tebow actually make a ton of
sense. The first thing is that getting him is not going to cost very much.
Elway cannot keep him in house, because if Peyton struggles even one week, the
high altitude is going to cloud some fans into believing that in some universe
Tim Tebow should start over Peyton Manning. With this in mind, most people are
not really sure about him anyway and that may mean a 4th round pick
could get him. The second reason we would want him is that he would definitely
be an upgrade at backup quarterback. Right now our second and third options are
Trent Green (Old and washed up) and Mike Kafka (Great looking, but not
necessarily a winner). Tebow can be a winner as a backup and won’t turn the ball
over which is pivotal at that positon. This is one of the most important
positions on the football field when your Starting Arm is injury prone and has
a hard time finishing seasons. Finally, the last one is a bit far fetched but
still a possibility. If Tebow can learn for an entire year under Big Red, he
could potentially take the reins in a year or two from Vick. He would have to
improve in a big way, but people had just as many doubts as Michael Vick coming
out of prison and look where he is now. If he sits behind Vick for a year or
two, learns all he can from the quarterback gurus, and works hard (like we all
know he will), he could go from freak sideshow to solid NFL quarterback.
Now to the Negatives
All right, there are a ton of positives to having Tebow on
the Eagles, but there are always two sides to every coin. The other side of
this is very simple: Tebow Mania is painful to deal with. All that the
Philadelphia area had to hear was Tim Tebow would be a good fit and Philly blew
up. Tebow mania has sparked on television, local sports talk radio, and even
blogs like this one. Can you imagine if he actually came here? One interception
by Vick and the brainless, idiotic fans that don’t know the sports of football
would force Howie Roseman into the same stranglehold that John Elway was forced
into. That was John Elway too, who is a superstar, role model in Denver, which is
far from what Howie Roseman is here. Another problem that exists here is
exactly opposite of what was stated in our “pros” section. This is still
putting a lot of faith in the quarterback that Tebow COULD become. What if we
give up this fourth round pick, bring him in, and he does nothing besides sit
on the bench for two years? It would be the waste of a pick and a waste of time
for the Eagles. There are still so many questions about his accuracy and QB IQ
that it would really be a lot of work, even for our two gurus.
Final Verdict: Even though he may have divine intervention
(and that may very well be the only thing that ever brings Philadelphia a Super
Bowl), he is just too much of a headache to deal with. Tebowmania sweeps a team
and becomes an infectious disease. It would infect a locker room that already
has leadership and ego issues. He may turn out to be a great quarterback one
day, but for now, let Tebow go somewhere with an awful fan base that needs
jersey sales. Philadelphia will be better off without him.
Would you do it?
