Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
I'm not a huge Tebow fan (as a QB) but I don't think he's the type of player who is going to excel or impress anyone in structured drills. He's more of a player who you just let run around and make plays.
Orton will be the starter but I think the team will be struggling so much that they'll swap him out for Tebow before year's end and he'll stay there for the remainder of the year and possibly going into next year. They gave a 1st-round pick for him and he needs to eventually be thrown into the fire to see if he's worth hanging onto.
Orton is clearly better, but for the sake of the future of the franchise, they need to make a decision on Tebow and either move on with him, or without him. I think they tried to do this, but couldn't get what they wanted for Orton.
Orton could still be traded. Who knows, if Beck struggles too much or is hurt...maybe we'll try to get him, but I think we'd just hand it over to Grossman and I'd be OK with that for a year. We need a longer-term solution if Beck is not the man though.
