Tebow's Time Counting Down

I was hoping that Tim Tebow would make the roster for the Pats, but it didn't happen. His skills didn't meet the level that Coach Belichick was looking for. He didn't play well in the preseason games. The Pats also don't usually carry three quarterbacks.

He is a very popular player among NFL fans. Many want him to succeed, but where can he play? No team other than the Pats expressed any interest in him last spring. He has stated on numerous occasions that he wants to play quarterback in the NFL. He won't consider going to the CFL or the Arena League.

A couple of teams were interested in signing him if he wanted to change positions. He appears to be a natural at running back, but he won't consider it. His options are getting slimmer.

Nobody has a right to play in the NFL. It needs to be earned and based upon a player's skill level. No doubt, he is a positive presence in the locker room, but a team can't tie up a roster spot on that. I want him to succeed, but he is becoming stubborn. His refusal to consider any other option may keep him out of football for good. The ball is in his court.
