Belichick mentioned this morning that Tim Tebow wasn’t locked into playing quarterback exclusively, saying: “we’ll use Tim where ever we feel like is best for the team.”

 

And once practice started, that was proven true.

 

According to multiple tweets from reporters on the scene, Tebow was catching some passes in addition to his quarterback reps, and lining up with backs and receivers in another drill.

I am excited to see the Pats play and how they utilize Tebow. If the Pats are successful with Tebow they are going to make a lot of NFL people look dumb.

Agreed! He's in the best spot for him. I hope does well

It will also show just how stupid the Jets are.

Indeed it will, like everyone doesn't already know that but yes, again.

Reporters tried to get Tebow to commit to what his role would be, but all he would say was that he would do what ever the coaches asked of him. Yesterday he said all he had done so far was work with the QB's.

In my infinitely less verbose futurecoach, I told you so.

I heard on one of the ESPN shows that he looked absolutely terrible today. Said he threw 2 INTs in 7 pass attempts.

Surely at some point Belichick will at least try to play him somewhere besides QB. I know some football guys have said it can't be done but if guys like Brad Smith and even Anquan Boldin can play QB in college and move to a new position I don't see why Timmy can't. He's a football player and a winner but he is not an NFL QB. I can't help but think he can help a team at TE or FB or even RB. I hope someone at least tries at this point. I feel bad for his sorry throwing self.

If ever there was an NFL player that should be doing some non-QB drills in practice, he's the guy.

Never count Tebow out. When you got the guy upstairs in your corner, anything is possible. Heck, I will predict that by the end of the season he will be a starter at some position.

I have never understood the malice towards Tebow. I hope succeeds at whatever he does.

I don't mind Tebow. I hate Tebow-mania. He's not all that good but for some reason the media loves to cover him.

I have evolved to this mindset.

His interceptions were quickly forgotten after he fed the entire team with five loaves of bread and two fish.
