We have a lot of information to get through over the next few weeks.  Even if Tebow is cut, there will be countless little tidbits to pointlessly post about.  I would encourage everybody to drop the dialog about "you are stupid, your post is stupid."  Let's all just stipulate that we absolutely could not care less about what the other guy thinks of us personally, and enjoy the tide of soap opera drama-droms.

I was mostly just trying to be funny.
It’s tough to discern sometimes since I’m such a condescending jerk in general.

Nonetheless, the degree to which many posters such as yourself assume he still possesses the various traits of athleticism he did in college is off charts. 

Anyway- I’m pulling for him while he wears teal and if he scores a TD this year I’ll replace my avatar with a Tebow image just so you understand I can still be a fan without agreeing with the wild optimism of the gator homers around here.

I understand the skepticism based on the DURATION of time since 2006 (i.e. his age). As I've said before, it's the single biggest reason to think this can't work (Tebow's age). But the question on the table was a more general one about a wildcat/gadget formation, and why it would ever work. The question often comes up "Don't they know it's coming." It's a valid question, and one that particularly applies to any analysis of whether Tebow can contribute. After all, if his uses are limited, aren't they predictable? In that context, it is more relevant to consider examples from when the AGE of Tebow was not a factor. We have to be able to think about things separately -- there are some good arguments to be made against a wildcat or goal line package that have nothing to do with Tebow or the age of the back. And some good arguments in favor.
