Maybe someone could explain to me what this douchbag scout meant by "he's not in baseball shape".
6.76 60 and 9 jacks tells me otherwise..

Dude, just blow tebow and get it over with. Can believe you are still on this can't-make-it--in-the-pros hack's sack.
-
He did look a little tight in the hips during BP. Easily corrected.
-
I just watched the video in the link of him working out. What's with his hipster trainer rattling off all these exotic names for what is basically an incline press, dumbbell rows, one-armed shoulder press, etc. ???? Is this result of the hipster era of crossfit trying to "invent" trendy exercises now?? ugh

Another chance for Tebow's fanboys to pretend he washed out of major sport because of his beliefs.
Somehow the NFL gives super-religious Russell Wilson so much love, but not Tebow. Odd.
Tebow should just take up bodybuilding and get it over with. Lost any ounce of elusive/escape ability when he bulked, and it cost him his chance to be a 3rd string NFL QB. Oh, that and the shitty way he SKIPPED A GAME with the jets because he was butthurt they didn't start him.
Tebow is the epitome of the "ME" generation. Always has to stand out, always has to be the focus, has no chill to him. Could have let the Alabama QB suck for NYJ and would have been a logical choice for backup the next season... instead, he whines and skips the game and washes out of NFL as a result.
If he wasn't religious, you would call it like he is... a great college athlete that washed out of the pros. Period.
-
Tebow looks huge out there.
Yes, his hips looked tight. His swing is all shoulder and arm. If he could get the the torque of his hips in on the swings; he'd kill the ball.
Looks like Tebow is a lefty. Imagine him at Yankee Stadium with the short porch in right field. Or even at Fenway.

tebow just sucked in the pros. That is all. He is trying to stay relevant. If coach would take tebow's nuts out of his mouth for a second, he would see that.
-
He's an underrated athlete. 38.5 inch vert at the combine and an ironic 6.66 3 cone drill. Those are some great times/numbers for a 240lb white kid.

I hope you have a good imagination because the only way he gets to either stadium is with a ticket or a press credential.

When did he ever skip a game as a Jet? Tebow is the real deal. Guy is sincerely a nice, hardworking dude. I went to UF. 2006, his Freshman year when he was the talk of the town my buddy spotted Tebow walking with some other football players. He asked if he could get a pic with him. Tebow said sure but when my buddy went for his phone, he realized he didn't have it. He thought he had it in his car but then realized it was back at the dorm. He went back to the dorm to get it and by now literally 15 minutes have passed. He walked back to the area he saw Tim, expecting him to be long gone and he was sitting on a bench by himself, waiting for my buddy. He's a stand up guy. He's not one of these fake good guys.

Yes.... Hes not in Prince Fielder shape .....

When did he ever skip a game as a Jet?
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow was so frustrated when the starting job was conferred upon Greg McElroy early last week that he told the coaches he didn't want to be used in any Wildcat packages Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, multiple Jets sources told ESPNNewYork.com.
my bad, he didn't 'skip' the game - he showed up for the game check but refused to play. All that ego. it's all about him.

Everyone knows Tebow is a good guy. If you're too good of a guy then they trash you for that and if you're a loser you get trashed for that. Guess people like the middle ground...

"He was disappointed, there's no question, he was disappointed he was not named the starter," Ryan said. "I'm not going to get into private conversations that I have with players. It was my decision to use Jeremy Kerley in the Wildcat, without question. I'll say this: I believe if Tim's number was called, he would've went in and played -- I don't think there's any doubt about that." That's the HC speaking. All you provided was heresay.
-
"he told the coaches he didn't want to be used in any Wildcat packages Sunday against the San Diego Chargers"
Where does it say he refused to play ?
-
His swing looked alright to me in that YouTube clip.
His throwing form is all fucked up, throws it like a football (note the follow-through).
-
Where does it say he refused to play ?
He was being featured in the Wildcat offense.
He was angry, so he told the coaches he didn't want to be used in any Wildcat packages.
When his only role was wildcat, and he said he wasn't doing any wildcat... that is being selfish. He's a paid pro... he should play where the coaches ask him to play.
he handled it badly because he was butthurt. I guarantee, if Colon Kapershitck refused to play a role his coach asked, you'd be demanding he be cut. Tebow does it, and you don't see a thing wrong.
He refused to play the wildcat, which is where the coaches were using him. "If I can't be starting QB, then I won't play". Punk move. Walked him right out of the league.

Where did it say his only roll was in the Wildcat?
Right here:
Sources said Tebow let it be known to Ryan that he wasn't happy in a Wildcat-only role. It's unclear how Ryan responded to Tebow, but reaction later, one source said, was "next" -- as in next man up.
If you're going to be the #1 Tebow defender, at least own it when he doesn't handle things well. In this case, he handled it very poorly. Agreed?

Right here what? He was frustrated. Dude, he got shipped to NY and saw no play time. Angry and frustrated are two different emotions. You and your spin make it sound like he threw a tantrum.
-

Coach wanted to use him in a certain role. He's a paid professional athlete.
"Angry" and "Frustrated" are two things he should have dealt with, and then shown up and played where the coach told him to play.
I think this is WORSE than throwing a tantrum... because at least then he kicks and cries, then shows up and plays ball. Instead, he told the coach he refused to play wildcat, which was where the coach was going to use him.
Tebow isn't a team player, or he would have done the Wildcat, as the coach wanted, and yeah, the team probably would have benefitted because he would have been a large unexpected body catching the ball, he could have made some good plays.
Instead, because T"I"M Tebow had to either play QB, or refuse to play at all, he told the coach of a professional football team that he'd only play where HE wanted to play, not where the coaching staff decided was best for the team.
I know, it sucks he got shipped to NYJ and saw no playing time, and I know, he must have been hurt they chose the rookie-ish kid over him. But they did. And as a professional, his role should have been to say "I'm happy to play where the team needs me", caught 7 passes for 2 TDs, then rocked the free agency market as a solid QB who can run people over and catch passes over the top in the wildcat. Instead, he was branded "a guy who will refuse to play if the coach won't use him exactly as he wants".
Bad move by him. You can admit it.

he's no bo jackson

tebow quit on his team because they didn't let him start a game when he wanted to. Refused to play the role they asked.
Fans try to justify it with "he was angry" but we're talking pro athletes being paid a lot of money to play a fraction of a game.
-
Anyone know how hard the pitcher was throwing?
-
he's no bo jackson
Because Bo Jackson was a running back. You're Canadian so it's only right to enlighten you. You seem almost as clueless as 240.

seems immature and selfish
not a good team player
-

you think it's okay for a player to refuse to play, because he can't be the starter.
because he's angry. gotcha. imagine if high schoolers started this trend, refusing to play RB or WR because they wanted to be the starting QB. You'd probably laugh their asses out of the locker room, because another person won that job and you were doing what was best for the TEAM. Even if that person's personal goals were different.
Tim tebow can do it tho, right?
-

tebow put his own goals, above the goals of the team.
he decided to play the position he wanted - starting QB - or refuse to play at all.
this isn't intramural. Tebow was paid over $40 grand salary for that game - i bet he still cashed that check ;) Even though he refused to play where the coach wanted him.
Shitty team player. Great "I" player. Total #heath all the way.

tebow is not a pro level athlete
in any sport!
-
BP, probably not that hard.
Should be interesting to see what happens. He looked fine out there. But he's no longer a kid. Pushing 30. I'm sure some team will give him a minor league contract. No doubt he'll fill the stands in the minors and have a following. It's just a matter of what he'll look like against real pitching. Worth a shot. Also Tebow will have to be careful with PED usage. Would be awful to see the guy come back with a positive test down the road. We all know how the media loves to prop guys way the fuck up only to wait for something to happen for the big crash. Tebow testing positive in the NFL wouldn't be that big of a deal. But the baseball people would crucify him.
-
the steroid era in baseball has been over for a good while

And Bo Jackson was certainly no Shizzo when it comes to baseball and football talent

Shizzo got screwed. Imagine the Nike campaign Shizzo would have had if he didn't give up the game. Screw Bo Knows. It would have been Shizzo Knows...
-
Anyone know how hard the pitcher was throwing?
BP is typically 45-50mph. That's when he hit the home runs. Then they put in a few former MLB guys throwing low 80s and Tebow couldn't get around on the ball. Hit everything to opposite field. There were also comments about his arm not having the strength/technique to make MLB throws. Being a great HS player doesn't equate to being able to play MLB.

What does being a running back have to do with anything?

baseball is beyond unwatchable. i like a nice mix of violent shows, politics, NFL, NBA, redbox, and study videos.
I watched it when I was young, when they were jacked on "andro" and stimulants. This new group looks like everyday people out there, sipping coffee and hitting ground balls. They're no longer superhuman.
I don't need huge baseball watching experience to know tebow sucks :)

i knew tebow would wash out of the pros, after his refusal to play and shit decision making on the line. Once they forced him to throw, he was terrible at QB. 46% completion rate? Worst in the NFL by a mile.
We get it.

pedro martinez speaking on ESPN just now.
Tebow doesn't have the skill but will be picked up because he brings value to a minor league team. Look for Atlanta farm league team to grab him and let him use them, and they'll sell plenty of tickets and merch. Kinda like Jordan - a below average baseball player that sold a lot of tickets and make the barons a lot of money.
Does pedro martinez also not know shit?

You're refrencing two different things. Coach was saying you don't know shit about Tebow playing football/Football. I don't think he was talking about your knowledge of Tebow baseball skills. That being said, he will get a shot somewhere in the minors i'm sure.

i'm pretty right about tebow in football. Once the NFL realized they just had to force him to throw, or run for a 2 yard gain, he was quickly rendered ineffective.
They let dudes come back from DUI manslaughter and shooting dogs and beating women... if he had skill, he'd be in the NFL. Actually, he's a draw... if he was willing to be a 3rd string QB who ran 5 plays a game as a halfback, he'd be in the NFL. He wasn't. If he can't start QB, then he refused to play wildcat. SHitty little spoiled entitled attitude.

95% of people thought Tebow would bust in football. It's really not something to pound your chest about. He still won a playoff game, while throwing for over 300 yards in that game, has a winning record as a qb, threw almost twice as many TD's to ints. He's not Ryan leaf. I can tell you don't watch football or have never played at any level and that's fine. It's just really difficult to read your posts when I can tell you probably get your info from googling and reading a few articles.

Has Tebow ever considered MPD? Broad shoulders, good taper, great calves, no homo. Could he possibly win his pro card and become the first THREE SPORT professional athlete?

"He said, 'You have a great arm and we think you can pitch. But we also think you can play centerfield.' I wasn't sure whether to tell him that I couldn't hit for anything."

Obama Lauds Michael Vick's Second Chance

He'll never see a day in the majors. If Michael Jordan couldn't hit off an A league pitcher Tebow sure as hell isnt doing it.

Another chance for Tebow's fanboys to pretend he washed out of major sport because of his beliefs.
Somehow the NFL gives super-religious Russell Wilson so much love, but not Tebow. Odd.
Tebow should just take up bodybuilding and get it over with. Lost any ounce of elusive/escape ability when he bulked, and it cost him his chance to be a 3rd string NFL QB. Oh, that and the shitty way he SKIPPED A GAME with the jets because he was butthurt they didn't start him.
Tebow is the epitome of the "ME" generation. Always has to stand out, always has to be the focus, has no chill to him. Could have let the Alabama QB suck for NYJ and would have been a logical choice for backup the next season... instead, he whines and skips the game and washes out of NFL as a result.
If he wasn't religious, you would call it like he is... a great college athlete that washed out of the pros. Period.
This. If Tebow was an Atheist or Muslim, certain posters on here would tell it like it is and not give a damn about him.

He works a lot with disabled children and even brought one to the sidelines each week when he played football, and visited with them for an hour or so before or after, from what I've read.

Tebow is juicing for Jesus.

That has zero to do with what I meant. My statement had nothing to do with what he does outside of sports.
Certain posters are only saying how great he is as a SPORTS player because he's religious. If he was not religious, they wouldn't be defending him, saying hes such a great sport player and got screwed. They wouldn't give a damn about him.

He did look a little tight in the hips during BP. Easily corrected.
You focus on mens hips much?

He won the Heisman trophy, that alone makes him a legendary athlete, religious or not.

Obviously, we are talking about PROFESSIONAL sports, considering hes passed the minors quite a while ago. Yes, he was a good college athlete, but clearly he could not hack it in the NFL (to continue to play for a team) and wont hack it in the MBL.
My statement stands: if he was anything other than a religious christian/catholic, the same people defending him would not be defending his poor PROFESSIONAL performance. They would not give a damn about him.

He would still be playing in the NFL now, if he didn't insist on being a starting quarterback.

As stated, he'd be a professional football player if he wasn't stubborn about the QB position. No idea why he felt the need to be like that.
He is a world class athlete and overall good person, based on his actions. At the very least, he's an intriguing figure who gets too much criticism, IMO.

THIS.
He's a great role model and does an okay job as a backup in tight spots, if a QB goes down in the 3rd quarter of a 13-10 game in Buffalo in November. He'll suffice.
BUT he was unwilling to be a wildcat, he was unwilling to catch passes or run the ball. He was even unwilling to be a BACKUP - telling the coach he won't play where the coach wants him, he will only be the started QB.
A lot of his fanboys refuse to realize this. Tebow acted like a baby when the Alabama kid got the starting spot in NYJ for that last game. "If I can't play starter, I refuse to play wildcat" is what the coaches said he told them. And he sat on the sideline refusing to play. Since then, no team has wanted him.
Tebow is a ME FIRST player. If he cannot be the starting QB, he refuses to play. Really selfish. Tough for coach and others to admit this, but any and every pro should take the TEAM FIRST attitude. nobody can argue this. Tebow put himself first.

That's debatable. Who knows if he would have flourished in another position. The only position you can take regarding that stance is, "I don't know." We have zero evidence how he would have fared in another position. Would he have been great in another position? Maybe or maybe not. How can you make a definitive statement about how he would have done in another position? I guess you can have a hypothesis, but you sound pretty definitive.
But again, this really has to do with the fact that people are only defending him because of his religion. Don't be naive. You know other religious people are going to come to his defense because of his catholic/christian faith. If he was Muslim, do you think these same people would be coming to his defense? ::) ::)
That's my "beef." They are really not defending his professional performance. They are defending him because they share his faith. FACT!!

He would easily have been able to stay in the league as a backup or 3rd string QB. That part isn't even really debatable. His ego got in the way.
Tebow does seem like a good guy to me, but I have a feeling that he enjoys being the center of attention. You don't get that by being a 3rd string quarterback, Fullback, or special teams player.
At 29, Tebow is running out of chances. I don't see him making the Major Leagues.

tebow will sell jerseys and put asses in seats. I dont even know what the minor league team for the Mets is, but in a month, we'll probably all know it, having been the #1 story on sportscenter a few times.
he brings great value because he has a huge fan base. and in return, he gets a chance to be relevant and live his dream, trying out for a new sport after washing out of the NFL. He didn't have the intellectual horsepower to be an analyst. Did you hear Peyton Manning doing ONE off-the-cuff play-by-play during the thursday night game? Dude was perfection, and knew the play inside and out.
Tebow was rather plain and a tad slow when working as an analyst. I think he'll move on to giving speeches next.

The Irony of signing with the Mets, is that Tebow will probably play for the Port St. Lucie Mets (A league) which is in my back yard.
I might have to catch a game.
