Tebowmania has found new life in the National Football League, and the embattled quarterback is bringing his circus show to one of the proudest organizations in league history. League sources have confirmed that Tim Tebow has signed to play with the New England Patriots.

The fit may turn out to be a good one for the two parties. With perennial Pro Bowl QB Tom Brady at the helm, there would be no confusion as to who would be the starter. This was a big problem for Tebow on the New York Jets last season, as the starting QB controversy seemed to derail and divide the team.

"I just don't know if it was the best situation for either of us. ... You can avoid that stuff on your own if you like, in my opinion, but he's a popular guy and people gravitate towards the guy," said Jets starting QB Mark Sanchez.

Put a bit more succinctly by head coach Rex Ryan: "Unfortunately," coach Rex Ryan said in a statement when Tebow was released, "things did not work out the way we all had hoped."

That's not the only reason this move could end up being great for all involved however. The Patriots have a history of year in and year out having the most inventive, skillful playbooks in the league. Tebow would add an extra dimension with his athleticism that they could greatly utilize in a number of unique ways.

Lastly, the Patriots have often made a living off of so-called "problem" players. Randy Moss flourished there. Brandon Merriweather had several impressive years in the secondary. Even though he didn't perform to his highest standard, Chad Johnson at the very least did not cause too much trouble in New England, something previously though by many to be impossible. Still, not everyone is impressed by their track record.

"The Patriots have a mixed record when it comes to reclamation projects. The wide receiver, Randy Moss, worked out better than anyone could have hoped when he signed with the Patriots in 2007. But Albert Haynesworth, a defensive lineman, and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, another receiver, were busts after they were signed in 2011," an article by Forbes noted.

Only time will tell if the move to sign Tim Tebow was a good one. What doesn't seem up for debate is that the Patriots were as good of a team to take him as any, and that they now have one of the most exciting, controversial players in the league. It will be interesting to see how head coach Bill Belichick is able to handle the impending glut of attention directed at his team next year.
