The Steelers should go after Tebow

[steelz09]

Why not?

The guy is a winner. He may not be a QB but he won't need to be one for us. We could use a backup QB...Heck, even if we don't use him as our backup QB, we could use him in a slash role.. TE / RB / QB (use him in an option package)...

[RuthlessBurgher]

Ummm...no thank you.

[steelz09]

Ummm...no thank you.

Why? They are saying a 6th or 7th rounder possibly. I would give up a 6th or 7th rounder for Tebow... convert him to another position, who cares? What would they have to lose... lose a pick that probably won't even make the team?

Or, we could draft a bum like Dennis Dixon... now that's the answer. lol

I wouldn't take up a roster spot for a marginal NFL player.

The same marginal player that knocked us out of the playoffs. The same marginal player that Lebeau and Tomlin thought was important enough to put 9 guys in the box to stop.

If Lebeau sacrificed his entire defensive strategy to stop a marginal player in the run game then he should be fired immediately. In fact, Tomlin should be fired as well because he allowed Lebeau to enter a playoff game with a gameplan to stop such as marginal player.

Here is Tebow's contact information:

7/29/2010: Signed a five-year, $9.75 million contract. The deal contains $8.7 million guaranteed, including a $6.275 million option bonus in the second year. Another $23.25 million is available through incentives, though $9 million of them are "unlikely to be earned." $1,537,500 of the incentives are available through a "likely to be earned" onetime escalator. 2012: $1.1 million, 2013: $6.055 million, 2014: $7.145 million, 2015: Free Agent

You want to trade away a draft pick for a guy with that contract...and you don't know what position he'll play?

Yes, the same marginal player that knocked us out of the playoffs. Look at his stats before and after the Steelers game. Calling him 'marginal' is being kind.

Question for you.... who won the game?

Did the Steelers play the pats the following week? Oh yea, that would be a negative. Winners win.

LMFAO... do you know how many average QB's have looked awesome against our DB's?

A reporter on sports radio said it best after we lost the Denver game. His words..."Steeler fans aren't shocked they lost to Denver because they know their DB's find ways to make bad QB's look good. Whether they slip and fall, blow coverage etc... the Steeler DB's have a history of coming up short in big games."

One game doesn't make a career. I don't even know why I'm arguing my point. Most can see he's not a good pro QB....heck even Elway wanted him out of Denver before the whole Manning soap opera began.

We can agree to disagree on the NFL prowess of one Tim Tebow. In my opinion....MARGINAL.

[birtikidis]

I'd love to have Tim sit behind Ben for a few years. Maybe he can teach Ben how to train. Tim is a winner and he's unselfish. Put him at fullback

That's what I'm saying... David Johnson or Tebow? Who's more dynamic? Who's an overall better player? Who's a winner?

We wouldn't have a soap opera of Tebow-mania in Pittsburgh.... neither would the Pats or the Packers and both are potential Tebow destinations.

Please. The guy is a joke at QB. Dick LeBeau made him look like an All Pro. He'll never play that way again.

We should resign Tee Martin then, he won in college too.

Oh really? The same city where fans were calling for Ben to be traded in 2010 because they had Dennis Dixon?

[birtikidis]

wasn't that shortly after his second rape allegation crash? it had nothing to do with who the back up qb was, more with the general letdown the city felt about one of their heros. And not having a back up qb at this point, why not bring in a guy like Tebow to compete for the 2/3 qb spot? hell if it only takes a 6th round pick, why not?
