League sources told the New York Post on Monday that the few teams interested in Tebow would only consider a trade if he was open to playing tight end as his primary position. According to the Post, Tebow isn't ready to entertain the possibility of a switch.

I'm pretty sure that his parents will need to pass away before Tebow is psychologically comfortable with entertaining a switch.

Tebow seen as "Toxic" to teams

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--t...t-like-following--media-frenzy-054940389.html

As a journalist who has consistently experienced the wrath of Tebow Nation ? mostly for passing along the slings and arrows voiced by various NFL players, coaches and talent-evaluators ? I'm well aware that many devotees of the world's most celebrated unemployed quarterback carry a heavy persecution complex.

Yet as Tim Tebow's career wheezes to an underwhelming halt, with less apparent interest in his services than Massachusetts funeral parlors have in Tamerlan Tsarnaev's remains, something strange is happening. Against all odds, I'm starting to wonder whether the man who helped the Denver Broncos become one of the league's most stunning success stories in 2011 is getting unjustly blackballed.

Nine days after Tebow was released by the New York Jets, it has become increasingly clear that the ultra-popular quarterback who has hijacked many a news cycle has no viable landing spot. No NFL team seems to want him ? as a starter, backup, converted H-back or fake-punt decoy ? and it's not like he's fending off big-money offers from Canada, either.

Now, here's the interesting part: Tebowmania is at least partly to blame.

As much as prospective employers are wary of Tebow's flawed mechanics, much-maligned throwing motion or deficiencies when it comes to reading defenses, the incessant media and fan attention that accompanies his presence on the depth chart is an even bigger concern.

"He seems like a great guy to have on a team, and I'd be tempted to bring him in as our backup," one NFC head coach told me Wednesday. "But it's just not worth dealing with all the stuff that comes with it."
In a business in which coaches and general managers strive to avoid distractions, Tebow, as one NFC offensive coordinator told me last spring, carries more of a stigma than Terrell Owens.

Or, in the words of one AFC head coach to whom I spoke recently: "You don't want to put up with the circus."

There is one thing that the author forgot to mention and that is Timmeh's stubbornness to stay a QB. I have read other articles that a few teams asked if he would be willing to switch to TE (like many of us on here were saying way back when) and he refused to entertain the idea.

Christian morals or not, bring a bullheaded jerk when negotiating with future employers might also be a reason he is still unemployed.

Chuck Norris makes the case for Tebow:

http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/the-ultimate-clutch-player/

Tebow is a player who rises to the occasion and delivers big in critical game moments. He reminds me of myself when I used to compete in martial arts. I would spar with my black belts in class, and sometimes they would outscore me. Yet in the tournaments, I would defeat them. My students used to ask me, "Why can we contend equally against you in class, but we can't beat you in the tournaments?" My answer was always the same, "When it counts, I rise to the occasion."

I am still sitting here trying to comprehend the level of awesomeness involved with a Chuck Norris endorsement of Tim Tebow. I don't think this is something mere mortals were meant to be exposed to.

BTW Giovanni Strassinni tried to pass himself off as Chuck Norris for a while but not wearing a pair of action jeans gave him away.

I believe BP nailed this way back when (the fact that Timmeh won't make it as an NFL QB)

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/5/31/4384136/tim-tebow-nfl-career-over

The New York Jets cut Tim Tebow in April, and the quarterback hasn't been able to find a job in the NFL since then. There is a sense now that he may well be finished. People close to Tebow have privately admitted that his pro career is likely over, according to David Fleming of ESPN The Magazine.

Can we stop the coronation of Tebus as the next Lombardi. He hasn't so much as worked one week as grad assistant. College and professional sports are littered with the carcasses of good players who crapped the bed as coaches.

I didn't see that anywhere but maybe I missed it....

Tim is a football junkie and a hardworker, those are the types of guys you want in the system. Personality/dedication wise he has many similarities to Vrabel who didn't have much experience under his belt before he came over either.
