If you yearn so deeply for the "relevance" and "success" of New York, LA, Chicago, whatever, ain't nobody holding you back but you.  U-haul is open 7 days a week.  Set a goal that is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based.  Then live your dream.

Name one serious NFL fan, analyst or expert that says this is a good move for a rookie HC that claims he wants no distractions...


Here's a hint... you won't find one.

College fans? Sure, lots. Because they are stupid. College coaches can recruit 6000 people and then pick from the 100 that are actually good.

There are plenty of NFL analysts that aren't ripping the signing.  The outrage peddlers are.  But that's what they do.

Also, there is another take in between "good signing" and "bad signing".  It's "won't make much of a difference signing".  Almost no one on this board thinks he'll make the team, except Mantezee.  I don't think anyone other than Rex Ryan among commentators think he will.  If, if, IF he were to make it, it would be as an H-back not a receiving TE.  I think it's too much of a long shot.  But if he makes it to the final roster, I'll be happy for him because he's a good dude and a hard worker.  And I will trust the staff to give Urban honest feedback on whether Tebow deserves it or not.

I'm mystified that TE has not been seriously addressed this off-season.  I would have drafted differently than Meyer/Baalke did.  But I was looking at all the rankings and watching highlights of the usual suspects.  I would probably have reached at 33 and drafted Friermuth.  Campbell wasn't on my radar and I didn't see CB as a priority need.  At this point, I'm not sure any of the free agents are a significant upgrade over O'Shaughnessy.
