Tim Tebow- Jags new TE (merged)

No one holds a roster spot for a 5th TE just to have him run on short yardage. If he makers the team he will have to be one of 4 TEs to make the 53 man roster. You're onto something, but you're not quite right. I say the things below as a calm recap of what a lot of people are talking past each other about in this thread. 1. Urban has in mind using Tebow as a gadget-back (H) in short yardage. 2. That is the same thing Bellichick and Payton wanted Tebow for. They are smart coaches. 3. That is what Tebow is good at. 4. It's near-impossible to justify a spot on the 53 man roster just for that role. 5. The player in question (whether Taysom or Tebow) needs to competently hold down another position on the 53 roster to make it worth it. 6. In the past, Tebow's roster position for this situation was backup QB. He did not demonstrate enough value there to make it worth the gadget thing. 7. Now it will be TE that is the roster spot. 8. To make it worth it, Tebow will have be competent enough to be a plausible TE backup. 9. Tebow will not play well enough in traditional TE plays to be out there enough -- the Jags other tight ends can do that better, as could other TE's that Jax could bring in. 10. Tebow will need to play well enough that it's not obvious every time he's on the field what he is going to do. 11. Tebow will need to block well enough that it's not "immediate death blow, lose game" to play him. He'll never be that good, but he could achieve minimal competence. 12. Ultimately, Tebow will need to play a position well enough to hold down a roster spot, BUT THE REASON he would be on the team would be for special teams (punt protector) and plays where he is running the ball (whether it's from an H back formation, what have you). |
