Title: Eagles signing Tebow on Monday

He’s back.

After a two-season exile, the man who took the Broncos to the divisional round in 2011 before being summarily dumped for Peyton Manning will have a new job in the NFL.

Per Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, Tim Tebow will sign with the Eagles on Monday. (Yes, Glazer has the scoop, even though Tebow works for ESPN.)

Traded to the Jets in March 2012, Tebow had a single, disastrous season in New York. Cut by the Jets, the Patriots gave him a look in the 2013 offseason, training camp, and preseason. Tebow didn’t make the 53-man roster, and he hasn’t been heard from again.

The Eagles gave Tebow a workout on March 16, and they reportedly would be inclined to sign him only if Matt Barkley were traded. Barkley hasn’t been traded, and the connection never made sense; with 90 roster spots in the offseason and plenty of quarterbacks needed to distribute the ball during practice sessions.

Tebow arrives with the opening of the offseason program in Philadelphia, rejoining Mark Sanchez and a depth chart that also includes Sam Bradford, Barkley, and G.J. Kinne. With Bradford still rehabbing a torn ACL suffered last August, Tebow becomes as a practical matter the fourth quarterback who is able to participate in practice session that will begin after a two-week lifting/conditioning period.

Yeah....I notice Mr. Tebow no longer works for the Broncos.

I like Tim Tebow. He's a great athlete and from what I've heard a really good guy.

I saw a clip of him hitting a golf ball 340+ yards. He's awesome.

He's also not an NFL QB.

He'll be a great coach, I look forward to his arrival in Columbus.

Replaced by some unknown, unproven journeyman QB....Peyton Manning. Heard of the guy?

Yeah, saw it. Tebow could also be a pro-golfer if he wanted to. That said, his passion remains QBing an NFL team.

He's also not an NFL QB.

You're not understanding this fallacy; He already IS. But he's been blackballed.

How many young winning QBs in the history of the NFL have ever suddenly NOT found ANY team interested in them? With the number of crummy QBs out there??

Never say never as it concerns Tebow.

One of the greatest things I have ever witnessed in sports was watching so-called "expert" pundits from ESPN and elsewhere glumly eat their words EVERY week as Tim Tebow pulled off SIX last minute 4th quarter victories during his last year as an NFL quarterback.

Not even the great Peyton Manning has ever done that. If fact, I challenge any of you to find a QB in the last 50 years who HAS done what Tebow's had done. SIX 4th quarter comebacks in the final minutes is NO fluke. It's the will of a tremendous leader. AND QUARTERBACK.

For SOME reason, teams don't want to give this guy a chance to become the winning QB and leader he is (*cough media*) And THAT reason is Tebow's open Christian faith (somehow deemed "polarizing" by the heathen media) worn on his sleeve.

If you don't let people know you are a Christian you can get away with what he did...

I wonder how Tebows stats compare to a QB like Trent Dilfer. Who by the way was released from his team right after he had just won a Super Bowl. And the reason for his release "He isn't a very good NFL QB, we are going to get someone else"!! Well guess what they haven't won a SB with that "supposedly better QB". ROTFLMAO...

Then on the other hand you have "GREAT NFL QBs" who didn't win schitt. Lets see Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon, Dan Fouts, Sonny Jurgensen, Fran Tarkenton and a few others.

Moral of the story all you have to do is be able to drive the bus not push it all by yourself.

Dilfer -- though not statistically very good but mediocre -- did come up big and did not make mistakes when the moment was big in 2000. Even for just that single year.

Dilfer QB rating of 76.6. (2000, Super Bowl year)

Tebow QB rating: 72.9 (2011)

Dilfer has a QB rating of 83.7 during his Super Bowl playoff run. Went 7-1 during the reglar season, and 4-0 in the playoffs. AND THE RAVENS CUT HIM! For who? Elvis Grbac, who went 8-6, made it only thru the 1st round of playoffs.

Yeah, it took the Ravens a looong time to get back to the Big Show. Sometimes it's about...chemistry and leadership. NOT stats. Dilfer was a good fit.

Then on the other hand you have "GREAT NFL QBs" who didn't win schitt. Lets see Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon, Dan Fouts, Sonny Jurgensen, Fran Tarkenton and a few others.

Moral of the story all you have to do is be able to drive the bus not push it all by yourself.

Great moral. And yeah -- look at those names of great QBs who NEVER won a Super Bowl. And at that, even Peyton won only ONE Super Bowl.

I'd still like for somebody to help me understanding exactly how they can dismiss the accomplishments of Tebow's 6 4th Q comebacks, helping the Broncs win the division, and helping beat the Steelers in a playoff game. But claim Tebow is "not an NFL QB."

NEWSFLASH: Tim Tebow IS a Quarterback. That's the position he's excelled at. True, he wasn't nearly the prototypical QB. But he IS an "NFL QB." You don't go 8-3 if you're not an "NFL QB. It's impossible. OR win several games during Crunch Time through sheer will. What kind of "expert" dismisses ANY quarterback who wins 8 out of his first 11 games, including a playoff game? Moreover, people somehow forget that Tebow was a rookie with virtually NO seasoning. He doesn't QB a single game for the Jets, yet the media proclaims HIM a "disaster"?? On what planet is that the case...when you don't even play??

Indeed. Whatever Tebow lacked that season in "NFL quality QBing" he made up for in leadership and intelligence. Tebow is Christian, conservative and white to boot. That is his 'problem.'

I only heard wonderful gushing from the leftos at ESPN and NFL.com when the dog beater and killer QB got out of jail and trying to make a come back.

If I remember correctly there was some weepy eyed come back vids the NFL promoted in his comeback. With the press given Tebow, you would think he shot a litter of puppies and used their skins to make footballs.

Leftist rubbish. Will be poured in the lake of fire with all the other filth of this world.

Yes indeed. Now with Demaro Murray in the backfield and the high tempo offense, yes an athlete like Tebow is welcome on the Eagles.

Tebow is Christian, conservative and white to boot. That is his 'problem.'

All valid observations as well as THE truth of the matters. And isn't especially galling to hear that fake meme that Tebow is "polarizing"?? Is he too humble? Too much into personal responsibility and sacrifice? Or is it his discipline in not being a man-whore?

Tebow's very existence threatens and reminds the im-moralists that good men...good white men (who run well), and good openly Christian men make for excellent leaders. They just can't have that narrative hemorrhaging in public. It might encourage too many young people emulate such a man.

I only heard wonderful gushing from the leftos at ESPN and NFL.com when the dog beater and killer QB got out of jail and trying to make a come back. If I remember correctly there was some weepy eyed come back vids the NFL promoted in his comeback.

You remembered correctly. Vick was admired and forgiven for his noble "rehab" and remorse by those sanctimonious jock-sniffing ESPN/ NFL.com hypocrites. Vick even mentioned "God" as part of the reason for his remorse. All well and good, but why was the mention of God in that context ok? And WHY was a creep like Vick someone to get all weepy eyed and excited over? Wouldn't have anything to do with a racial bias, would it? Is it ONLY former-villains whose humility, remorse and penance is acceptable?

With the press given Tebow, you would think he shot a litter of puppies and used their skins to make footballs. Leftist rubbish. Will be poured in the lake of fire with all the other filth of this world.

Beyond insane is the way we should regard this unjustified hatred and animus for Tim Tebow. They'd HATE him for petting puppies. That's how sick the Left is. He's a proxy target for Jesus Christ and ALL Christians. That hatred and resentment is based solely NOT on his performance, but on the fact that he's a popular, unabashed Christian athlete performing in a high-profile position, on a huge stage. How dare he!!?! In this perverse culture, we're only supposed admire and emulate the imperfect, the whores, the liars, and gluttons.

My theory is that Tebow and his sincere demeanor makes the hateful and habitually sinful feel....ashamed. They want nothing more than to see him fail, get hurt, and get tripped up by a single sin unnecessary. So then they can pull out the "HYPOCRITE!" card and feel better about themselves.

Yup. Could be a great fit with Murray. AND strike absolute fear into a defensive coaching staff's game plan. Even IF they don't use Tebow, his offensive sets and plays will have to be prepared for.

Must be the case.

Tebow notoriety is merit-based as a QB of Florida U's and two national championships on the Big Stage and a Heisman. And then of course leading the Denver Broncos to a Division Championship, an improbably six late comeback victories, and additional playoff victory over the Steelers.

Sam is co-winner of a flimsy conference Defensive Player of the Year in what was obviously an AA award. PERIOD. His homosexuality was an open secret.

The extent of sharing ANY compelling similarity of notoriety is purely a matter of the pro-homo agenda media's obsessive, endless promotion vs. their derision and ridicule of Tebow. Sam's notoriety is as result of his proclaimed "First Openly Queer College Player" to step out of the closet and flaunting his homosexuality and kiss on TV.

So, according to you, a bunch of NFL teams would much rather lose than to have Tebow leading them to victory. Because they don't actually care about winning.

I think that if they thought he could win, he'd be their #1 QB. But they don't so he isn't. Instead, he's #4 QB on a so-so team.

And Tebow and Sams are still very similar in that their fanbois drive all the coverage of them.

Not really. However, there was much to be a 'fanbois' about Tebow's college career. He actually led a team to two national championships.

And he did lead a hapless Broncos to after going 1-4 to a Division championship and went one victory deep in the playoffs...not to mention against the mighty Steelers that year. Tebow in one year did what Tony Romo could not do in the playoffs in almost 8 years...Win a playoff game.

So, if Tebow raped some chick or slapped his girlfriend around on camera or ran a dogfighting ring, the NFL would finally love him?

I don't think Tebow is that hated. I think his performance has not impressed the decision-makers. The same goes for Michael Sams.

Of course, it is easier and more palatable for fanbois to say "they hate Tebow" or "they hate Sam" than it is to admit they don't have top-rank talent in the eyes of the coaches and owners of NFL teams.

Most college ball players don't make it in the NFL. I don't see why Tebow (or Sam) are so different other than the religion or gaiety angle and their hordes of fanbois.

He spent a good deal of time taking instruction from Tom Brady's coach Tom House this year . Perhaps his throwing motion was corrected . House said :"He went from being a little inaccurate and didn’t throw a whole lot of spirals, to throwing very accurate and real good at spinning the ball"

Certainly, it is possible for Tebow to up his game during this down period. It would help to explain this modest comeback. The NFL doesn't have a lot of comeback stories.

Jerry likes controversy, glitz and glamour that's why they didn't start drafting decent players until his son got more involved.

Since they picked up Hardy the need for a DL isn't as great I think they will draft a corner in the 1st if a good one is available.

I think they are going to try to get Bryce Petty (Baylor QB) in the draft this year, he's ranked 91 and the boys draft at 91 (3rd round). On the other hand they might go after Petty in the 2nd round (just to ensure they get him) since there a bunch of RBs available in the 3rd (which they need also).

After that they will draft a PK/KR and a bunch of the best defenders available, in which order well I have no clue.

So, you are with Liberator in the "every NFL team would rather lose than have Tebow as their QB" camp?

It is my opinion that doors closed to Tebow that would be open for other QBs in the league. We have had QBs work on a team an entire career without registering a playoff win.

NFL team owners are businessmen. So I understand them striving and dealing to get the best QB to lead their offense. However, I don't understand their bad business decisions with Tebow. Most NFL fans are also College Football fans. Tebow was one of the best players in College football and SEC history. That is income for an NFL team whether they start Tebow, try to convert him to another position or have him as back up QB. The Eagles seem to know this is a good business and football decision. Tebow will be a solid #2 as he proved he can take a competitive team and lead them to the playoffs and into the playoffs.

Your comparison to Mike Sam is way off. Sam was no "Tebow" of the defense. Tebow did not get drafted high because he was a Christian and did not lobby to be drafted because he was a Christian. Sam tried the gay thing to make his name known to a larger audience. Tebow did not have to do that as he was a proven champion in the VERY competitive SEC.

Now let's analyze our society a bit. We have a QB who led his team to two national championships, presents a moral example parents would like their kids to emulate and to quote Dennis Miller "Tebow is the type of guy I want my daughter to marry." We have this champion example of a man and he happens to be a Christian. He is defined by our society as 'too divisive' and 'too controversial.'

On the other hand we have more than a few NFL players each year suspended for domestic violence, drugs and one for murder. We have an average LB who no team would consider drafting other than ESPN and the liberal press trumping his homosexuality. Thus the homosexual lobby holding a loaded gun to GM's and owners heads. It took them a lot of PR work to take their message directly to the American people that Sam would get a look but was not draft quality. Yet one team did burn a draft pick seeking positive business exposure. Sam was cut. Draft pick wasted.

Tebow's greatest success might be showing America how really down the road to hell her morals have gone.

One final comment. I loved to watch RG III play for Baylor as they are not far from us. He too a Heismen winner turned out to be a top NLF draft pick. There were some who said of him "he's a runner more than a passer" but that was not mentioned much. Some said he is a balanced QB but physically won't be able to handle the hits of NFL defenders. Yet after two injuries and so so seasons no one is saying much.

Whether you want to admit it or not, Tebow has a certain amount of baggage he brings with him to any NFL franchise. Legions of fanbois. And legions of others who don't like him, maybe because he's a virgin, maybe because he prays, whatever.

A QB of equal talent might have already found a club to call home, as you mention. But Tebow probably hasn't because he has all that baggage. And the NFL teams are going more in the direction of the Michael Sams than the Tim Tebows.

I'm not sure why you expect anything more of the NFL. Were you under the impression they are Christian-friendly? I never thought so.

Two National championships make them quite different.

Having legions of intense fanbois despite rather modest records does make them comparable.

Ever see how Teh Gheys drool on over Sam and obsess about him? I don't think that particular circus made him any more attractive to owners/coaches. They just don't want such a notorious young player. Admittedly, they did let Vicks come back after prison but he was money in the bank for his team, a proven major talent also with his own fanboi base.

His 15 minutes of fame are up - he was last seen as a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars"

Remember what he did to the Jets while with the Broncos.

Some kind of odd payback for killing the Jets? Great memory...Monday Night. Typical Tebow Time. 00.58 left on the clock.

He was good enough to beat a competent Jets team in 2011, but NOT good enough to QB their team in 2012 when it was clear that a Sanchez-led Jets team was a loser.

You got me utubing a bunch of Tebow's last minute winning drives. Good stuff.

Did they make him dance with a woman?

I don't watch that show, although I saw a minute or two of it one evening at the local tavern TV. Some guy with one arm was dancing. We called him Stumpy.

So, according to you, a bunch of NFL teams would much rather lose than to have Tebow leading them to victory. Because they don't actually care about winning.

Absolutely the case. EVERY NFL team is making money hand over fist, regardless.

The collusion to blackball Tebow was more important...even more important than profit. The Left is more than willing to sacrifice profit (*cough MSNBC*) in exchange for advancing an agenda. In case you were wondering, the NFL has become a vehicle for political and social change. Tebow and his popularity were a deterrent to that goal.

I think that if they thought he could win, he'd be their #1 QB. But they don't so he isn't. Instead, he's #4 QB on a so-so team.

Depth charts mean nothing at this point. Frankly, I believe politics and the Left's agenda is going to dictate whether or not Tebow makes the team or plays -- NOT his skill level.

And Tebow and Sams are still very similar in that their fanbois drive all the coverage of them.

Uh, no.

The media's goon-squad of hitmen has driven the coverage of Tebow. ONLY to ridicule and marginalize him and his base of fans (of whom coincidentally are largely comprised of white Christians and/or God-centric people.) Btw -- how and why do you think "polarizing" became THE one word used by the media to describe Tim Tebow? We've noted the very same media phenomena and parallels in the coverage Palin. WE refer to what should be called, "Pavlov's Media Dog."

In Sam's case, there ARE no "fanbois" to speak of -- other than counting the MSM's fake, contrived, forced interest and non-stop gay promotion. His "fanboi" base is 3% of the population who buy Sam's jersey AND Leftist/gay-centric media(of an NFL team for which he failed to make, nor has ever played a single game.)

Tebow's retains "fanbois" for good reason -- his accomplishments are legend. His ethics and morals, and commitment to excellence and discipline are greatly admired.

OTOH, Michael Sam's has accomplished NOTHING. His main "accomplishment" is his admission that he is a sodomite. Yet is ridiculously promoted by a media committed to a queer wannabe contrived, non-existent "NFL career."

However, there was much to be a 'fanbois' about Tebow's college career. He actually led a team to two national championships.

And he did lead a hapless Broncos to after going 1-4 to a Division championship and went one victory deep in the playoffs...not to mention against the mighty Steelers that year. Tebow in one year did what Tony Romo could not do in the playoffs in almost 8 years...Win a playoff game.

Yup. ALL of that. And yes, imagine that -- those who say Tebow is "no NFL QB" led his team to a playoff win. His first time at the big dance. Something it took the great renown QB Romo 8 years to do. Leading a team to a victory in an NFL playoff game is no small feat.

We might be belaboring the point, but if someone on "our side" is incapable of understanding and discerning the respective proper difference between Tim Tebow and Michael Sam -- as well as the coverage respective accomplishments and reason for admiration -- the extent of the media's saturation propaganda campaign is wildly successful. AND disheartening.

I'm hoping TC is just not a observer of sports. But it still gives pause to who is swallowing (no pun intended) the media's respective memes.

So, if Tebow raped some chick or slapped his girlfriend around on camera or ran a dogfighting ring, the NFL would finally love him?

Oddly phrased question.

If the Tebow (we know and love) did such things, the militant heathens, atheists, and moral relativists would be relieved that such a standard bearer had failed epically. The Leftist, pro-queer run media would LOVE Tebow were that the case. He'd be their hero.

So to answer you question, IMO, YES. The NFL would then not be compelled to blackball a "fallen" Tebow.

I don't think Tebow is that hated. I think his performance has not impressed the decision-makers. The same goes for Michael Sams.

Tebow IS "hated." By militant heathens, atheists, and moral relativists. And by envious "purists" and "experts" who can't explain Tebow's success by the numbers. Loved by everyone else. THAT scared the aforementioned detractors.

Again you've conflated Tebow and Sam as though they are part the same coin. It's not even close.

Most college ball players don't make it in the NFL. I don't see why Tebow (or Sam) are so different other than the religion or gaiety angle and their hordes of fanbois.

(Tebow's accomplishments are already documented: ACCORDING TO THE RECORD HE'S A WINNING NFL/COLLEGE QUARTERBACK.)

Michael Sam's claim to fame is that he's a loser, NOT NFL material, and a professional whining sodomite who wails that he's a "victim" of "homophobia."

He spent a good deal of time taking instruction from Tom Brady's coach Tom House this year . Perhaps his throwing motion was corrected . House said :"He went from being a little inaccurate and didn’t throw a whole lot of spirals, to throwing very accurate and real good at spinning the ball"

That's the report. If true it's great news.

The question will still remain: Have the NFL owners permission from the pro-Homo and Left's PTB to give Tim Tebow a REAL chance to re-establish himself?

Jerry likes controversy, glitz and glamour that's why they didn't start drafting decent players until his son got more involved.

Was it his son who helped straighten out the quality of players in Cowboy-land??

Yeah, problem is Jones was/is an attention whore with few scruples. He's an owner for whom a strong dislike can be embraced ;-) It was fun watching my Jints ruin many a year for Jones.

Then that means he will try to trade up to get Jameis Winston!

HA! That'd be hilarious!
