2013 NFL Whipping Post
Alright so my intent was to wait for the draft to start this years W.P. but with free agency, and the proposed rule changes , there is just too much going on.
Goodbye "Tuck Rule", its about time.
Heads up running backs? This rule is a disaster in the making, it is my belief that this will actually put players (RB's primarily) in even more danger. It would make more sense to eliminate headshots entirely.
I've been impressed by the Browns new front office, and I really like our haul of free agents, but Im holding out hopes that a way can be found to re- sign Phil Dawson.
I don't buy into the notion that the Raven's have been poached beyond repair, Ozzie is one of the sharpest G.M.s in the league.
The Dolphins are printing money.
Seahawks .... Wow!

I agree. These guys look like they need some help.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

That's the opinion of that writer, dlb. From the contentious tone he set, it is clear that this is more a Tebow-bash piece than a serious analysis of the athletic merits of the man.
Like most such articles, it focuses far more on the attention Tim's worn-on-the-sleeve piety draws. I am no great fan of that, but it has as little to do with what happens on the field as does Michael Vick's record as a pet owner, Richard Sherman's tendency to mouth off, or the recreational use of drugs or women by other players. Admirable or not, none of these sideshows matter on the gridiron.
When Tebow has been allowed to play, it is clear that he has the skills. What few snaps the Jets gave him cannot be called allowing him to play. As a youth, as a Gator and as Bronco, his record speaks for itself...and the message is quite at odds with what the article you linked says.

The Lions would be up there w/my Eagles, but they are just so bad. But, if Ziggy pans out, they should have a very disruptive D line, which is a must for good defense now a days. Especially w/a poor secondary, like they have.
Eagles draft was ok, tho weird they drafted a QB, I think Barkley? Maybe that means Kelly doesn't like Foles. I w/hold judgment on this guy, until Game 1 anyway...

Ummm...can he actually play competitively at all those spots? Or do people just think that MAYBE he can? And how much money will it cost you to find out?sgt.null wrote:Tebow seems best suited as a utility player. With roster spots at a premium, Tim can be used as an h-back, fullback, tight end, kick holder, punt protector, special teams gunner, emergency third qb.
What's not to like?
It might be worth finding out by bringing him into camp/training/pre-season, or even just taking him for a team floating in cash or a team with desperate needs and NO cash.
But I don't think he's that good, and I doubt he'd price himself low enough to make it workable.
