Super User flyfisher Posted April 20, 2015 Super User Posted April 20, 2015 http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12723790/tim-tebow-philadelphia-eagles-reach-contract-agreement Interesting to say the least....i doubt he will be around at the start of the season since he Eagles now have 4 QB on the roster or it may mean that they are packaging 2 of their QB to try and move up to get Mariota....between the eagles and sixers, the drafts will be must see TV..

Super User Scott F Posted April 20, 2015 Super User Posted April 20, 2015 You really think anybody with a top 5 draft pick would move down in the draft to get any of the 4 quarterbacks on Philly's roster? Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted April 20, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 20, 2015 You really think anybody with a top 5 draft pick would move down in the draft to get any of the 4 quarterbacks on Philly's roster? I think it depends on what else, picks, are involved. The top teams in the draft need a QB and if you are trading away your pick you better have something in place. Bradford is a really good QB but he has health issues and there has been some interest in Barkley already too so who knows. I don't think Tebow is going to be anything more than a training camp guy but allegedly he has been working with that QB coach who works with Brady i think so who knows. Chip isn't afraid to do anything that is for sure..... Quote
Super User Darren. Posted April 20, 2015 Super User Posted April 20, 2015 Tebow could serve in Chip's offensive schemes whether it be a 4th and 1 situation, 2 point conversion, or backing up the week-kneed Bradford. I'd love to see Bradford succeed, though. He's had bad luck with injuries, or maybe he's just injury-prone... If Tebow's throwing is vastly improved, then who knows. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted April 20, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 20, 2015 The other thing is if they want to actually use Tebow he can't be listed as a number 3 starter because if he comes in prior to the 4th quarter, i think, you cannot play your other two QB the rest of the game. I think Bradford staying healthy will show that he is a good QB and he will have the best offensive line he has every played behind in Philly too Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted April 20, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 20, 2015 I don't think it has because i know they were talking about last season. Here is what i found... "Teams will be permitted an Active List of 45 players and an Inactive List of eight players for each regular-season and postseason game. Provided, that if a club has two quarterbacks on its 45-player Active List, a third quarterback from its Inactive List is permitted to dress for the game, but if he enters the game during the first three quarters, the other two quarterbacks are thereafter prohibited from playing."

Matthew2000 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Dear lord Jesus thank you for allowing the Philadelphia Eagles to waste cap space on me. The best left bench this leauge has ever seen! Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted April 20, 2015 Super User Posted April 20, 2015 I think Tebow is a better QB than has been proven.. Whether he can now step up, I do not know.. But it would be awesome to see Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted April 21, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 21, 2015 if Chip has proven anything it is that he can win games and he doesn't care what anyone thinks about his moves. Gotta give him credit for that at least... Quote
bassinOUT89 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Weather or not Tebow is a good QB remains to be seen. But he does find ways to WIN. I wish him the best. Quote
