As Peyton Manning’s quest for a new home dominates the headlines this week, another storyline has developed. Where will Tim Tebow go if the Broncos bring in Manning?
The Broncos seems to be seriously making a push to bring in Manning, which would almost certainly put their fan favorite quarterback from last season on the trading block. Where could Tebow go?
Sports Illustrated’s Peter King thinks he could be a fit in Baltimore.
…Like the Baltimore Ravens.
King writes that he thinks Denver could get a fourth-round pick for Tebow and while fans in Jacksonville certainly want him, he does see GM Gene Smith bringing him in.
He argues that a strong coach like Bill Belichick, John Harbaugh or Pete Carroll would be good for Tebow. Someone “not worried about the public pressure to play him to take Tebow on, in my opinion.”
“I could see Belichick or Harbaugh making him a wild card type of player, playing 15 snaps a game all over the offense,” King wrote.
Isn’t the Wild Cat offense kind of dead? The last two teams that I could see taking on Tebow would be the Pats or Ravens. Ozzie Newsome definitely wouldn’t give up a fourth rounder for a “wild card type of player.”
“Ozzie Newsome definitely wouldn’t give up a fourth rounder for a ‘wild card type of player.'”
LMAO!! There is a better chance of me hitting Powerball and dating two supermodels in the same week then there is for Ozzie Newsome trading a 4th round pick for Tim Tebow. Ozzie felt comfortable with Tyrod Taylor backing up Flacco last year, why would he trade a 4th round pick for a guy that in his mind is not as good as Taylor? I think the only person laughing harder then me about this article is Ozzie himself. I think these NFL reporters must drink a few shots of liquor and then come up with these hair-brained stories.
Craizer things have happened. Nothing surprises me….
Peter King is a moron. He’s obviously “connected,” so I’ll give him credit for being able to report rumors, but in terms of formulating an actual opinion of his own that has any merit, he’s useless. As Chris points out, the Ravens were comfortable lettting a rookie back up Flacco in a potential super bowl-run year. Why would they bring in Tebow, let alone have to give something up for him and then pay him on top of that? As for using Timbow as a “wildcard,” we don’t need that when we have one of the best RBs in the game and a maturing passing game. King should stick to talking about coffee and snobby beers.
