There's really only one round of cuts now - they go straight from 90 to 53.  It does happen over the course of a couple of days though, so it might be more accurate to say he will likely be released in the first 'wave' of cuts maybe?

As for resurrecting his career -- that's not where I'm at.  I've already said I have a hard time imagining him making the team.  I'm in my 50's, and I remember the degradation in my abilities as I hit 34.  So I'm following this like watching the movie Rudy or something -- i.e. questions like can he make the team? Can he contribute?  Could he help on special teams?  If he's able to hold down a backup position, will they have some plays that are designed for him?  It would be such a rush to watch Tebow throw a key, sacrfice-your-body block to put somebody in the endzone for a key touchdown, near the end of his career and he finds a way to help his team.

It's a potentially cool subplot, and one I'll enjoy no matter how things go.  The only way I really differ from most fair people here is (1) I think he was good football player to begin with; (2) I think he's one of the most talented short yardage runners of all time, and (3) I think he's an NFL caliber athlete by any measure.  I think my opinions on that are the conventional ones -- that's pretty much the official book on Tebow from an NFL perspective, and I don't think Jags fans should think there's some crony-conspiracy if he makes the team or sees the field.  Trust the process -- he'll get cut if he can't play.  You can't hide in this league with only 53 on the roster.  Every single player has to be able to flat out play.

Your passive-aggressiveness is approaching legendary status.  And don't sell yourself short - you are a fantastic troll.

While I don’t wish anything but success for Tebow despite your annoying insistence to the contrary, I simply don’t have any faith in him resurrecting an NFL career -  while you seem to believe it’s still 2013 for Tebow’s athletic ability for sone reason. 

Similar to your fascination that some Jags fans think he stinks, I’m fascinated with the number of Tebow homers like yourself who think he’s going to be successful running the ball in the NFL after all these years, one of which involved him sucking at running the ball in the NFL.

Oh, and yes, it IS about getting hit. Unless you have  some new way defenders are going to stop a ball carrier from scoring in the red zone.

Wow. 

You backpedal, contradict your own posting, and move goalposts like there's no tomorrow.

I don't keep up with it as closely as I used to but according to USA Today:

"They will have to cut five players after their first preseason game by August 17, taking the roster down to 85. They must trim another five players after the second preseason by August 24 and then, following the third and final preseason contest, rosters must be cut down to 53 players by August 31."

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

I am part of the problem.  Why am I adding to this thread about the 4th string tight end.

Hey everyone...   we have Trevor Lawrence throwing to Chark, Jones, Shenault and swing passes to Etinne.  Heck throw in O'Shaughnessy before we get to the subject of this thread. I am fine if the Jersey salesman makes the team now because it is not very likely that some Blue Chipper is going to be cut for him.

I don’t think Tim got a complete fair shot in the NFL because most of the coaches were saying, ‘We need the prototypical NFL quarterback.’ And he’s not that.  That was just before the zone reads and the offenses changed up. And I think if Tim had been able to hold on long enough to have those offenses come to fruition, and develop them as they have been the past couple years, I think you would have saw a better quarterback.

This is who Timmy spent the 4th with...he was manning the camera I guess.
A new broom always sweeps clean.


So hang on. We've now hit the point where someone is arguing that Tebow being on the roster would be beneficial because the pressure of being the person who let him score might be too much for NFL defenses? That really happened?

It's brilliant! Opponents will spend the whole week game planning to stop Tim Tebow and then Urbz will make him inactive on game day to throw them into mass confusion.

No, it's the actual 6 points that would be the benefit.

Yeah, sorry, my bad - I just ran across a reference to that myself.  
They had eliminated the initial cut-down to 80 after the 3rd pre-season game a couple or 3 years ago because all of the teams wanted those bottom of the roster players available for the 4th preseason game.  I didn't realize they had re-considered things after going to 3 pre-season games.
