I believe we all know by now that Tim Tebow isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, if for no other reason that he really can’t read defenses. Additionally, evangelical Christians aren’t exactly known for their high IQs, quite the contrary. Having said that, when is he going to realize that he doesn’t have what it takes to be an NFL quarterback. Face it Timmy boy, you suck as a quarterback. You had your moments of glory with Denver, so be thankful for that. TGO

Tim Tebow is an NFL free agent quarterback. Emphasis on the last word.
According to TheMMQB’s Peter King, speaking Thursday night on the NBC broadcast, Tebow received an “inquiry” about joining an NFL team at a position other than quarterback. King reports that Tebow declined the request. He also has said no to Canadian football and US Rugby.
Tebow wants to play quarterback. In the NFL. That’s it, apparently. He pretty much spelled it out in a tweet last week, which said in part:
“I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback.”
When Tebow signed this offseason with the Patriots, there was immediate chatter about him switching to tight end to compensate for them losing Rob Gronkowski to injury and Aaron Hernandez to murder charges. The move never happened. Tebow received some training-camp snaps as a personal protector on the punt team, but his uniform number — 5 —indicated he was primarily viewed in New England as a quarterback. And apparently, not a good enough one, as he was cut.
After being released by the Broncos, Jets and Patriots — teams with varying degrees of quarterback proficiency, ahem — Tebow might need to look in the mirror. We can’t blame a young man for chasing his dreams, and we commend his drive, but playing quarterback in the NFL again might be pretty tough to achieve at this point.
