In one post, you perfectly encapsulated why there is little to no substantive football discussion of Tebow.  None of the reasons you or anyone else support him have anything to do with substantive football reasons.

So there has or hasn't been substantive discussion of Tebow the tight end?
Forget about his past as QB that doesn't matter now.
There Are trolls on both sides so I just ignore the leg humpers.

My point is this thread has devolved quickly, as threads with 100+ pages tend to do. There's less about Timmy the TE and more about back and forth with posters who think they're smarter than the next.

Like I said I don't think he'll make the roster. But if he does I don't think the hand wringing is warranted considering he's a fringe roster guy and any other #53 roster spot wouldn't get 100 pages of whining and crying back and forth.

What we have is a few Tebow fans, a few Gator haters, and a bunch of Jaguar fans arguing over something they'll never convince the other side of. It's like politics... pointless arguing. While the thread periodically goes off the rails talking about WCO or Joe frickin Namath.
The discussion should stick to what Tebow has done in practice and his competition that is on the roster (with perhaps some talks of who else we could bring in).
It isn't an all things Tebow thread. His past career is irrelevant. He's a tight end now. 
But the mods have it under control lol

To the degree there has been any substance to Tebow's career, there has been substantive discussion.  Problem is there isn't much substance to Tebow's career-past or present- and any discussion is going to reflect that. If I had to draw a pop culture parallel, I'd say Tebow is the football equivalent of Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian-people who are famous for doing nothing substantive.

To your credit, you are clamoring for substantive discussion.

What does he have to offer the team now?

I am Yoda admits to being skeptical about Tebow's chances of making the roster.  You have echoed these sentiments in your post here.  Apparently, at least the three of us are all in agreement that Tebow has little to offer this team.

You are saying no #53 guy on any roster would warrant 100+ pages of discussion....I agree.  This is why I posed the question about Tebow being different.

I showed the clip of Arrington bashing Tebow's route running.  You have been silent on it.

I offered the tangible and intangible reasons a team brings a player aboard in June and explained why Tebow's value in those areas are limited at best.

Aside from not engaging Tank Commander at all, I'm not sure what else I can do to squeeze blood from a turnip here.

The great thing about message board discussions of this nature is that participants in the discussion help to steer it.  You are respected enough here to have a take and get discussion going in a way you want.
