The Green Bay Packers, that may sound strange to people, but Mike McCarthy and Tom Clements — Clements is their offensive coordinator, McCarthy their head coach — take great pride in their ability to develop quarterbacks, tweak their deliveries and do those things. They had to do that with Aaron Rodgers coming out of Cal, and look what they did with Matt Flynn. I think they would embrace — maybe embrace — a Tim Tebow there.

No reason to waste a perfectly good roster spot.

I heard this this morning as well. Look at the quote - it sounds like pure speculation with zero substance to back it up. Chris is just trying to be the first one to suggest it for the sake of making conversation.

I wouldn't mind it. Might be a solid backup QB.

If he's on the sideline you have dissension from Tebow/his fans/media, OR he's taking away snaps from the NFL MVP who's is mobile as well.

He's a between the tackles fullback running threat who is a marginal passing threat at best, I don't see the advantages he provides.

Bears fan with a healthy respect for the Packers and the Rivalry.

Please, please, please don’t combine the Tebow fandom with the Packer fandom. My head may explode.

lol, that's funny.


I've tried thinking of how or why the Packers could benefit from blowing a 6th rounder for Tim Tebow.

I don't think the Broncos want to play against Tim Tebow because of the circus. I also don't think they want to see him leading a team into the playoffs, especially if they fail to make it. So, going to the Packers, a team they won't play for another 3 seasons, sitting behind Aaron Rodgers would appeal to the Broncos.

I really don't see this happening primarily because the Packers endured a circus in '08 and I don't think the reward is worth the risk.


WAIT A TICK! 5:00 left in the game, Packers up by 15 points, insert Tim Tebow to run... RUN out the clock!! Muwhahahahahaha


Edit, I do think the best thing FOR Tim Tebow would be Mike McCarthy's QB school. Two seasons in that school, I bet the Packers could trade Tebow for a 3rd or 2nd.

Edit2, lol Randall Cobb at RB, Tim Tebow at QB ... that's a gimmick play waiting to happen. Tim throw? Randall throw? Tim run? Randall run? WTF???!?!?!?

Why not? I think he might back a decent backup fullback. And Mike McCarthy has said he would love to be able to coach him.

He is fundamentally inaccurate. You can tweak a QB but you can't change who he is. If you are going to have to, just change who he is by getting someone else.

Our O is about timing and precision. That is not something in which Tebow would even be average. Or even could be average with work.

If we want to scrap our whole offense and start running a college option, Tebow would be a good fit.

Tebow is not a QB. There is nothing to develop. You might as well take DJ Williams and convert him to QB.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I wouldn't mind, actually, if not for the media circus that comes along with him. He's not a great QB, but he's a football player. He'd be a great weapon as a third-down option, too. And let's not forget the importance of being "Packer People". I don't think anyone can get more Packer-ish than Tebow...

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
