Why bother? He's gonna flame out, and it will be worthless in a few years.

I agree. If he doesn't flame out, somebody is going to lay a vicious hit on him and end his career.

I have no axe to grind, but his style of play is going to open him up to injury. That and he is borderline average to above average to begin with.

If only Taylor Windham played for the Bengals.

If you think he's going to play the same style in the NFL that he played at UF you're crazy.

McDaniels is no dummy. He'll do everything within his power to put Tim in situations where he can succeed.

So you want the Bengals to be in the midst of being blown off the field, Tebow to take a hit, and for him to come back and have a great year without missing any games?

Okie dokie.

Honestly though, you cheered on this here board when he got hurt and now hoping for it to happen again, sounds like an ax grinding session to me.

Given the track record of Belichick assistants (Romeo and Mangini to boot), i'll reserve judgment on McDaniels.

Throwing motions, I will give you that. Tebow is a bullrushing spread QB who can hit like a linebacker playing QB. He has been lucky in college, but I don't see it translating over to the pro's.

I said it was a moral victory for UK. And like you said, Tebow didn't miss a game because of it.

McDaniels has made a lot of moves that made you scratch you head. He aggravated Cutler right away when he got the job and traded him for Kyle Orton. He traded away one of the best WR's in the game in his second off season. His team faded mightily down the stretch last season. IMO McDaniels has done what every other Belichick assistant has done, they came in, ruffled the feathers, got rid of players they didn't like, and their football teams were not successful. It works for Belichick because he has a track record. The track record of his assistants has been abysmal.

As for Tebow its nice and all that he scored, but he will learn real quick you don't do that on the last play of a preseasn game. The object is to get ready and come out with minimal injuries. Tebow also has to learn that if he wants to be a QB in the NFL he can't take hits like he did from Hebert.

Maybe, but his place in sports history is pretty secure without ever playing an NFL down.

True.

Kinda like a Christian Lattener or Tyler Hansborough.

[The Voice of IH]

why is it when it comes to autographs money is the first thing that comes to mind? the dudes probably are a fan of his, and wanted his autograph big deal, if that constitutes throwing someone out that is just stupid

[IslandRed]

This is an extension of the old saying about "no cheering in the press box." If a guy has a media credential, he's supposed to be doing his job when he's in the locker room, and being a fanboy isn't part of the job description.

Not saying that media members never get autographs for their kids or anything, but there's a time and a place.

Probably was Ken Broo

So you think the former radio PBP guy for the Bengals would be stupid and unprofessional enough to ask for a rookie's autograph?

No I'm just messing around. I think its pretty obvious Ken Broo wouldnt do that considering the times I've heard him on the Tebow topic.

[Brutus]

Very unprofessional. They deserved to be booted, IMHO.

You know as a media member you are not supposed to do that.

(On a side note, I question why they would want Tebow's autograph. Most seriously overhyped and overrated professional athlete ever)
