If it wasn’t Tebow, the board would be unanimous that a dude who hasn’t played in 8 years and has never played TE shouldn’t get a try out.

But because people have certain feelings of nostalgia with Tebow, they think he can somehow pull this off.

I mostly agree with you.  BUT, I don't think most people on the board would care if a coach gave one of his old college players a tryout.  It's just a tryout.  It's not an unearned spot on the 53 man roster.  I would understand the angst and dread better at that point.

Yes, we would, because that's exactly the problem we have with it. He's been out of the NFL for 8 years and when he was in, he sucked. He sucked bad.

Nepotism isn't a good look for anyone. Anyone watching Tebow struggle his way around a base during those few times he got a hit realize he's not an NFL TE.

It screams I'm a College coach in over my head.
