Of those... or any NFL team... Jacksonville is the ONLY one that stands to gain. They will gain some season ticket sales simply because of the name. I cannot see why any of the others would give up the possibility of acquiring a better QB via draft or trade than Tebow is.
Manning was signed for one season at Denver. Due to his neck issues, Denver wasn't even certain Manning would make it past the first quarter of play before another injury would take him out. Yet, they did not have enough faith in Tebow to keep him.
Ryan's job was on the line all season. Sanchez did NOT play well. Yet, with his own career at stake, Ryan didn't feel Tebow was the answer.
I don't see any teams lining up to get a shot at signing Tebow. There is not a good crop of QB prospects available in the upcoming draft. If Tebow had real value... If NFL teams thought he could even give them something improved over what they have or better than minimal draft prospects, why aren't they clamoring to grab him?
Exactly. I'm sure a guy like Rex Ryan knows a lot more about football than we do, and still he thought a guy with an under 50% pass completion and 2 INT per game gave him a better chance than Tebow.
Someone argued about his "Great College Career". Well, Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell (worst No 1 pick ever), Matt Leinart and Vince Young just to mention a few, had awesome college careers, but they just weren't good enough to adapt their games to the NFL. The difference between an amateur and a real pro is that ability to change the game, and Tebow doesn't seem to have it.
On the other hand, I would like to see Tebow playing as a TE or something like that. He is big, strong, and modestly fast, he might make a great career in such position if he learns to block (it might take less time than learning how to throw).
