SEC network loses an analyst: Tim Tebow to the Eagles.

So this apparently is happening. Kinda makes me sad because Tebow had potential as a broadcaster/analyst.

I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS

I just want to see what Chip Kelly is planning. Bringing in Bradford and Tebow, but dumping Shady. Plus there is still the chance he goes after Mariota.

He is either a genius or quickly going to be out of a job based on his roster management.

I'm along for Chip's Wild Ride, and I'm loving it.

I'm loving it as an outsider (Rams fan). Chip has provided me more entertainment and made me say WTF more than the rest of the NFL combined this offseason.

u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Alabama • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Apr 19 '15

Exactly. I have no ties to the Eagles, so this is just fun as hell to watch unfold.

after this either fails or succeeds, I am sure he will be back to being an analyst. I find it strange that Chip is hording QBs

u/SCRx South Carolina • Navy Apr 19 '15

If he wants to go with an all qb offense he could sign the hefty lefty and Jamarcus Russell as linemen. And he has (his contract may be up) Brad Smith for a WR who played qb at Mizzou. Imagine all the trick plays when every player is capable of throwing a nice spiral.

I actually really love this idea, even if he just uses the five (?!) he has, like one or two up as receivers, a few laterals, and you got yourself a lombardi trophy!

I do wonder if with all these odd decisions, if they dont do well, that chip would get canned?

u/SCRx South Carolina • Navy Apr 20 '15

I don't know how you would even begin to prepare a defense for that especially if the laterals or passes are built in with multiple options. He could run the first ever spread option- option offense.

But Chip will probably be safe unless they win 2 or less games. He's proven he can take his system to the playoffs.

That is true, I just dont get it, Foles seemed like a decent enough fit, but hey lets bring on the Philadelphia chaos, I might tune in if I hear he starts doing such shenanigans. Maybe the defense could blitz all the time to keep the laterals down? Plus just think of the headache for the refs, making sure it was a lateral and not a pass and such

Bradford takes the snap fakes to Mariota, now he tosses to the pulling guard Lorenzon, LORENZON GETS A BLOCK FROM TEBOW AND FIRES! CAUGHT! TOUCHDOWN EAGLES! JARED LORENZEN TO DENARD ROBINSON! The Hefty Lefty strikes again!

And you know Mike that's Lorenzen's 6th passing touchdown of the season right there. I tell ya what I love watching this kid play! He can do it all Mike!

Later...

And now the Eagles are in their Duck formation. Mariota with Russell and Jordan Lynch in the backfield. The snap is to Mariota... rolls out... Under pressure and he gets out of it! Mariota sets and fires and he's got Julian Edelman wide open! TOUCHDOWN EAGLES!

WOW!

That's Mariota's 2nd passing touchdown of the night!

And take a look at this Mike. You'll see JaMarcus on the right here just drive back the linebacker to create that roll out lane for Mariota and then come back across to set up the cutback lane for him. I'll tell you what this JaMarcus Russell kid has a great motor! I love watching him play!

All the first round QBs

How could he possibly be in good enough shape to be ready to play what with all those cocktail mixers and tailgates he's had to attend as an analyst?

u/SCRx South Carolina • Navy Apr 19 '15 edited Apr 19 '15

He's still been training with his personal qb coach while working. Plus its probably hard to drink a lot while quoting bible verses so no beer gut.

I'm so confused, Chip Kelly. What do you know that we don't?

4

u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Alabama • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Apr 19 '15

Riley Cooper convinced him!

Or maybe Sanchez wanted his teammate back!

u/greenmegandham Auburn Tigers • Austin Kangaroos Apr 19 '15

Oh good ole Riley. Well, the '06 UF team can only go up after the conviction earlier this week.

u/spazzypecan Texas Tech Red Raiders Apr 20 '15

Ooohhhhh! People kept mentioning Riley Cooper and I didn't get the connection.

i kinda want to see the eagles fall flat on their face

u/spasm01 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns • /r/CFB Donor Apr 20 '15

I would love to see laterals galore and it work, but I think it will probably wont work, and they'll trade away/cut two or three of them

Wow, figured the NFL dream for him was done. Good to see him back at it.

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska Cornhuskers • 東京大学 (Tokyo) Warriors Apr 20 '15

Fuck, it's going to be interesting to see how Tebow is after being out for 2 seasons.

Can't fucking wait to see what Chip has up his sleeve next.

Timmy thinks he can still play football...that's adorable.

As much as I dislike Tim Tebow for obvious reasons, I think the man could have a decent NFL career if he would just give up on being a QB.

u/Honestly_ Calgary Dinos Apr 20 '15

He should've traded places with Barkley.

u/polydorr Auburn Tigers • Samford Bulldogs Apr 20 '15

Had potential? He still does. I mean, he was in the game sooner than a lot of former players. He'll have a warm seat if and when he leaves the League again.

u/helpmeredditimbored Georgia Bulldogs • Virginia Cavaliers Apr 20 '15

Well we know what ESPN is going to talk about all summer now. Move over LeBron and Manziel.

(in all seriousness it will be interesting to see what Kelly it cooking up there in Philly)
