Tim Tebow belongs on the Patriots’ roster
It isn’t a big role, but he’s played it to perfection.
Today’s big winner: Tim Tebow
Thursday night was vintage Tebow, wasn’t it? The agony and the ecstasy of Tebowmania realized. Tebow hit receiver Quentin Sims on third-and-long for a 52-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
On his next drive, the New England Patriots third string quarterback was picked off.
Tebow played the entire second half of the Patriots final preseason game and he wasn’t bad. He wasn’t good either (6-for-11, two TDs, one interception). But here’s the thing. New England could do a lot worse than Tim Tebow — as we’ve learned.
Bill Belichick hasn’t taken a third-string quarterback in three of the previous four years. It’s time to break that trend. The Patriots don’t need Tebow to be a superstar. New England has Tom Brady. Tebow needs to play the part he’s trained for all summer. The guy with a team-first mentality, irrepressible zest for winning, and an unwavering desire to work. Point to his benching last week if you want, or point to his terrible rigid throwing motion if you must, but say Tim Tebow doesn’t want to compete with a straight face. You can’t.
Tebow didn’t earn a starting spot on Thursday. He didn’t earn a backup spot either. But he did earn the role he has perfected this preseason, and the only role he’s been asked to fill.
