I think you guys should relax and enjoy the fun.  He's not going to be a star at this point.  But he might make a key score that will be glorious.   He might make a key, lay it all on the line block at some point that makes you remember why you love football.

Just relax.  Stop falling into "I want to be vindicated about Tebow sucking."  It puts you into a toxic place where you're rooting for someone on your team to do poorly.  As far as intra-roster competition,  it puts you in the odd position of praising and rooting for any rando but Tebow, including guys who will be out of the league soon.

It's a fun story.  If it were anybody but Tebow, like some Afghanistan veteran,  you'd be getting a kick out of it.

I'm sorry but my issue has absolutely nothing to do with hating Tebow.

My issue(s):

The team basically doing nothing to strengthen the TE position.  And bringing in a project is not strengthening the position.

People over-inflating Tebow's playing abilities, present and especially past.  They just can't get past his college days.

What this is going to do to the vibe in the stadium if he's given a final roster spot.  And make no mistake, if he makes the team it will be a spot that he's given.  It takes players more than one training camp to make a position change like this.  Even guys that are 'studs' didn't 'get it' their first year.

I'm not rooting against anybody.  I just want/wanted an actual TE.

I feel like I've let myself down.  I wasn't going to respond to this thread anymore this weekend.  But I'm on a waitlist at the restaurant and I'm bored.

Does the Afghanistan vet have any experience playing TE?
