So unless I read that wrong, it wasn't Meyer who gave Tebow his shot, but the TE coach and scouts that said to sign him and give him a shot..

Am I correct on that?

they were present for the workout. Urbz still made the call to give him the workout and then to sign him, based on their feedback.

Not saying this is the case (lest I be deemed a hater, perish the thought), but if your boss brings his friend/business associate by and says, "Hey all, you know Tim. Give him a workout. Let me know how it goes", how many of those underlings are gonna have the stones to ask why they aren't bringing any others into the fold, especially if, as they quoted in the article, those same coaches were acknowledging that our current guys were struggling?

Quote:'My gosh, this guy's in incredible shape. He's a big athlete. Our tight end room has been struggling. OK, let's.'

One facet of their assessment is missing, and that concerns me. Nothing about his route running, receiving, or blocking. You could chalk that up to the quote Urbz gave during the interview, but not having that addressed is noteworthy.

I sincerely hope the experiment works out. I absolutely pray our coach isn't surrounding himself or creating a culture of yes-men, though. That's the fear.
