What's Next for Tim Tebow?

Tim Tebow did not work in New York.
It's one of the strangest situations ever witnessed in NFL history.  Tim Tebow, former Heisman Trophy winner who shattered countless school and NCAA records at the University of Flordia, gets drafted by the Denver Broncos.  In his second NFL season, he wins the starting quaterback job in Denver, and has a stunning season, leading the Broncos to countless late-game comebacks and taking command as a leader.  He proved to all the doubters that he could have a successful career as an NFL quarterback.  Then, Tebow was unexpectedly traded to the New York Jets so Denver could sign Peyton Manning.  The Jets already had a quarterback they were hoping to build off of in Mark Sanchez, so Rex Ryan declared the team would run a dual-quarterback system, using Sanchez for most of the snaps, in more throwing situations, while Tebow would be utilized in wildcat type plays.  Ryan said both quarterbacks would be used often, though Sanchez was still their starter.  Well, that didn't quite work out.  Tebow through eight passes all year, and was almost never even used.  He wasn't even above Greg McElroy on the Jets quarterback depth chart by the end of 2012.  What did Tebow do to deserve all of this, besides completely own in 2011?  The question is, what's next?

Tim Tebow
Amen?  THAT would change real fast!
Its amazing to me that nobody wants Tebow.  We know this guy can play, because when he was the starter, he completely owned.  You would think a team like the Jaguars, Chiefs, Cardinals or Browns would like to have Tebow, because none of these teams have a quarterback that anyone can say is even a little bit good.  Tebow has a skill set that not many quarterbacks have.  He can move around, throw on the run and actually run with the ball for yardage.  But what is not often recognized about Tebow is his arm.  No, he may not have the arm of Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers, but he has a good, accurate throwing arm with some decent range, definetly better than that of Blaine Gabbert or Brandon Weeden.  Heck, I think his arm is better than Mark Sanchez, but its not like Tim's going anywhere in New York, at least as it looks now.  Tim Tebow can not only work in the NFL, but he can be very dominant.


Does Tebow have a future playing Arena Football?
Does he want to leave the NFL?
Will the Jets let him go?

But if nobody wants to pull their head out of their rear in the NFL and sign Tebow, then he may have to move on in leagues elsewhere, such as the CFL (Canadian Football League), and the Arena Football League.  Apparently there is an Arena Football team that offered Tebow a job, but it depends whether the Jets let Tebow go and if Tebow actually wants to leave the NFL.  We will have to see what happens, but in my opinion, Tim Tebow belongs in the National Football League.
