Why Tim Tebow Should Be A Packer Next Year If Available


If, for whatever reason, you have never liked Tim Tebow and never given him a shot, don’t read the rest of this article. If you think the media overplays what he does on and off the field to make him look like a saint, definitely stop reading this article.  Ever since the University of Florida’s all-everything quarterback gave his apology speech to Gator Nation after a loss to Ole Miss last season, he became my role model and also one of my favorite athletes to play the game.

Anyone who watched #15 tearfully enter The Swamp for the last time in a Gator uniform had to feel for him.  What a legacy the Heisman Trophy and two-time National Champ will leave in Florida in about a month.  He has received more trophies than he probably knows what to do with, run for more yards as a quarterback than Duke has a team, and scored more touchdowns in his career than anyone to play in the SEC.  Yes, that means you Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker.

That’s why in next April’s NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers need to draft Tim Tebow if he is within reaching distance on Day One. The verdict on Tebow’s draft stock is still out, with some believing he can be a first round, starting quarterback while others believe he will move to running back and work out of the Wildcat formation on most plays as an H-Back.

  2. This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read. You’re trolling or something, right? This satire just to get a rise out of people or something I’m sure.

  3. I hope to God he’s not on the Packers next year.

  4. You do realize the Packers have much more pressing needs than a gimmick addition to their offense, right? The Packers should not use their first round pick on anything other than an O-lineman.

    • Just like the other people that have posted on this article, you clearly did not read the article. I clearly say the Packers should not take him in the first round and that a team most likely will.

      “He is probably not worth a first round pick if the Packers are not selecting him to play quarterback, but if he slips to the second round and scouts believe he can not play under center, there’s no reason for the Packers not to take a very hard look at Tebow.”

      I realize reading the whole article instead of just the title is hard, but let’s try it some time soon.

      • Oh, believe me, it was hard with how inane this article is. But I did manage to stomach the whole thing, Strotty. I know it’s hard to believe people would actually disagree with you in this big, big internet, but it happens.

      • Well yeah it was really hard for me to take you disagreeing with me, especially with your fantastic analysis of why you disagree. It really makes for good discussion when all you do is crap on the article. Thanks. I realize Tebow isn’t the Packers biggest pressing need in the least but switched things up because he had just played against Alabama and was a hot topic. I also don’t expect him to get to the Packers because the Jags will most likely swipe him up. But again, thanks a bunch for finding my blog on this big, big internet.
