NFL Free Agents News: 5 Teams That Should Sign Tim Tebow at QB
It's been three seasons since Tim Tebow started an NFL game at quarterback.
The last time we saw him as quarterback, Tebow took over the 1-4 Denver Broncos team to the postseason. Then in the playoffs, Tebow stunned fans by defeating the No.1 ranked Pittsburgh Steelers defense with a 316-passing yard performance.
Tebow isn't the greatest passer in the world, but when you merge a 29 touchdown with 12 interception statistic in just 16 games started, you've shown you deserve to play in the NFL. His seven game-winning drives are also very impressive.
Here are five teams who should consider signing Tebow:
1. Jacksonville Jaguars
This should have been an easy one.
Tebow made his mark in Florida, leading the Gators to two BCS National Championships and big bowl victories. The Jaguars passed on Tebow in the 2010 draft and chose to go with Chad Henne. Henne is still on the Jaguars' throwing interceptions and turning over the football. The Jaguars drafted Blake Bortles No. 3 in the 2014 NFL Draft, but there's no guarantee he can play at a high level.
2. Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have struggled big time ever since Kurt Warner retired. Warner throwing to Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin produced one of the most lethal offenses in the league. Since Warner retired in 2010, the Cardinals have gone through quarterbacks such as Kevin Kolb, Matt Leinart, Drew Stanton, John Skelton, Max Hall, Ryan Lindley and Carson Palmer. Tebow is certainly better than the quarterbacks the Cardinals have recycled in recent years.
3. Oakland Raiders
It's been a long time since the Oakland Raiders had a franchise quality quarterback. Rich Gannon was the last one for the silver and black. For a franchise that hasn't had a single winning record season since 2002, you would think they would be willing to take some risks. The Raiders currently rank 31st overall in team rushing, and Tebow would certainly help in that category. Tebow would rejuvenate a franchise that hasn't won a Lombardi trophy since 1983.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The 0-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers look like the worst team in the NFL. This team has no offensive rhythm whatsoever. Signing Tebow wouldn't really be a huge risk for a team that hasn't made the postseason since 2007. Getting rid of Josh Freeman has proven to be a large mistake by Buccaneers management as well as signing Josh McCown to a new contract. Tebow is obviously no stranger to Florida, and he could do great things against the NFC South teams.
5. St. Louis Rams
It's become obvious that Sam Bradford just can't stay healthy. He missed six games in 2011, nine games in 2013, and will miss all 16 games of the 2014 season. It's unfortunate, but the Rams have to move in a different direction. Shaun Hill obviously isn't the answer in St. Louis and undrafted quarterback Austin Davis hasn't shown any future signs of greatness. Why not Tebow? Financially, the Rams are also the least valuable NFL team and many believe they could be heading back to Los Angeles in the future. Signing Tebow would definitely increase ticket sales.
