The Pays are bringing in Tebow as a QB. Any thoughts?

by

Not to be overly Belichickian, but I think he’ll just be given the chance to compete. They’ll limit the circus around him, and ask him to do a number of different things. Tebow scared me when I heard he was going to the Jets, but they never played to his strengths and just made him a part-time read option QB.

If used as a red zone fullback/H-back I think he could really cause some problems, especially because he could throw. Bottom line: Josh McDaniels drafted him for a reason, and no OC is more creative. They’ll give him every chance to carve out a role for himself, it will be up to him too do so.

Mike Reiss’ thoughts:

I always thought that Belichick would take great satisfaction in bringing Tebow aboard – even for a month or two – and squashing the media circus. If Tebow was willing to submerge his ego and all the attention that has followed him in Denver and New York, and put the Patriots first, it would represent one of the strongest endorsements of the team-first approach that Belichick has preached and stressed since becoming head coach in 2000. Belichick often says that when a team signs a player, it gets everything that comes with him – on and off the field. With Tebow, he brings a media crush unlike any other.

Get ready for the internet to blow up…

I can’t say I’m that surprised, because I truly think the Pats will use Tebow smartly. Josh McDaniels traded up to draft him in the first round because he saw something in him. 

Now it’s a pretty good bet he’s not competing at the quarterback position, but as a fullback/tight end/special teams guy, I have no doubt Tebow can contribute in a variety of ways.

Get ready, the 2013 Patriots just got even more interesting…

Dane Fletcher looked outstanding in camp before blowing his ACL last August. He doesn’t figure to concede his role on third down to Spikes. And he’d probably like to see if he can expand it. During OTAs, Fletcher’s seen plenty of time with the presumed starting linebacker group. Fletcher probably can’t bring the same run-stopping presence Spikes does. But it should be a shock to nobody – Spikes especially – if the Patriots try to find out for sure Fletcher can’t do it by using him more.
