St Louis Rams quarterback, Sam Bradford, is out for yet another season, and when an important player is lost, you can bet that talks about replacements are going to take place.
For the Rams, Tim Tebow may be the replacement that they need. Tebow's joining the team is yet a rumor at this point, and according to the Examiner, the Rams had the chance to trade for the quarterback in 2012 and could have been a free agent the following year, but that wasn't the case.
The Examiner stressed, "If Tebow proved anything during his short time in the NFL it was that he was a bad quarterback that was good at winning. How else could a team win with the quarterback completing only two passes for an entire game? Perhaps he had a higher power on his side, though he was effective nevertheless."
He could be the lucky charm that the Rams needed, considering that they haven't seen a winning season since 2003, and with Shaun Hill next in line as starting quarterback, it's highly doubtful that they will be able to break the losing streak without some help.
As pointed out by the Examiner, "in the ever-competitive NFC West, St. Louis needs some offensive weapons to combat the 49ers, Seahawks and Cardinals. Tebow would be a great compliment to playmakers such as Tayvon Austin and Tre Mason to throw to (assuming he can even make accurate passes) with Zach Stacy spearheading the ground attack."
However, RantSports.com thinks that Tebow in the lineup will be a big problem. The article read:
"It's a great sentiment as Tebow is one of the most beloved players to ever step on an NFL field, but in reality, the move would be very foolish from a football standpoint. Tebow will never be a first option as a professional quarterback, and adding another backup into the mix with Austin Davis and Garrett Gilbert makes little to no sense.
The veteran Shaun Hill will be the starter until further notice, which is the smartest move. Hill knows the Rams' system and has impressed at times during the preseason for St. Louis. Bringing in someone with a ton to learn in an impossibly-inadequate time frame is foolish at best."
Considering that Tebow hasn't been on the field since 2012, (according to the Examiner he put his career on hold to be a college football analyst for ESPN) so he may be rusty, and nobody wants that for the games.
What do you think of the possibility of Tebow signing up with the Rams? Would it be a bad or a good thing?
