@Stevek When has Freeman had the opportunity to?

I don’t think anybody is laughing at Tebow, and the kid is a proven winner, but until the media gives him a little breathing room, it is a mess. Tebow really didn’t much competition in Denver, but the scrutiny and circus never left town. It seems to me that too many situations are set up for Tebow to fail. Maybe the Jets can make it work, but I’d use him as a fullback, special team player and take advantage of his strength and toughness. The fact that I don’t think he is a starting caliber QB doesn’t mean I don’t like him. Every father wishes he could have a son like Tebow. He is a role model of the highest order.

Tebow would not be a distraction to a team that didn’t already have a starter.

As to Freeman, a few things…first there is a lot of new blood. His accuracy will be better when the WR corp is set and the new playbook is learned. Overthrows are common when a QB is getting to know the habits and speed of his WRs. And even though some of the WRs are not new their route running times are slowed until they learn it all.

Also…I think maybe Freeman is not running because they already know he can do it well. The focus is to get him up to par in his passing game. Also, I’m not concerned with his weight. He won’t loose arm strength because they are lifting more. If anything the weightloss will make him faster.

I want to emphasize that the distraction he brings is not his fault at all.

Again, I like Tebow a lot, and believe he can be a very successful QB in the NFL. However, he will never be good enough to combat the distraction he brings to a team. The only way he would work anywhere is to anoint him the starter from day one and roll with him no matter what. If you don’t, there’s going to be major issues. Just wait and see what happens in NY.

Tebow + Sporano+ Rex Ryan= pound that rock with success.

Laugh at Tebow all you want, has Freeman thrown for 300 yards in a playoff game to beat the Steelers?

I think the perfect spot for Tebow would be playing Catcher for the Yankees, and he has the perfect arm for it.

You are absolutely right about Tebow BigMac. I am a huge Tebow fan, but (through no fault of his own) he can be poison to a locker room. Put him in his home state of Florida and it even gets worse.

I love Tebow, but no way I’d wish that Media Circus on the Bucs or any team that I liked. The Jets will have a terrible season and controversy is brewing there even if it isn’t showing yet. That is a mess we don’t need.

I like the fact Orlovsky is playing well in limited time. I think Free will be fine and believe he is focused on winning. I don’t know about CBA rules on this, but I would put free in his shoulder pads to more accurately simulate game play. I don’t know how much difference it makes because QB pads aren’t very big, but if the CBA dictates contact, just don’t hit him. Losing the amount of weight and body fat that he has, may be putting his muscles through some changes, especially if they are lifting as much as it sounds like they are. This may all work out in time, short time, but I don’t see this as a time to panic. Remember, Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl so if everyone else does well, then Josh doesn’t have to be a superstar, just a little more than serviceable. I personally believe Freeman will have a great year, mostly due to coaching and work ethic.
