Just when you thought his career was dead, he's resurrected.
The favorite son of football, Tim Tebow, will sign with the New England Patriots. The current offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach of the Pats, Josh McDaniels, was the coach in Denver when the the team drafted him in 2010. McDaniels was fired later that season for a poor record and the Broncos would trade Tebow after the 2011 season out of spite.
These two now get reunited as Tebow now enters Belichick land, a land that is not favorable towards members of the media. It's where no one is above the team and something like Tebowmania will be squashed.
There is of course absolutely no chance for Tim Tebow in taking over the starting quarterback position from Tom Brady. So why is Tebow in New England and now? I say it's Gronk. Every now and then, there is an analyst that says that Tebow could play as a TE in the NFL. Maybe Belichick is taking that to heart. Since Gronkowski keeps getting hurt, Tebow might be useful as a backup TE... and QB if anything should happen to Brady. Though they'd probably just turn to Ryan Mallet in that scenario.
Anyway, at least Tebow will be able to work under Tom Brady and perhaps work on that nonexistent throwing motion. Then again, Tom has better things to do.

Mularkey Fired; Tebow not in Jags Future?
The bunch of Mularkey is gone.
After one season as the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach, Mike Mularkey has been fired. The relatively new owner Shad Khan fired Mularkey to give his new GM David Caldwell a clean slate to work with. Caldwell was introduced as the team's new GM to signify the "out with the old, in with the new" attitude (even though the old was just a year in this case).
On top of this, the possible Tebowmania in Jacksonville was silenced by Caldwell right when he got in the door. Caldwell said about acquiring Tebow "I can't imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar -- even if he's released." It seems that Shad Khan isn't going to overrule this possibility.
"It's not my decision," Khan said. "I want to do whatever to help this team win. Who the players are is really the general manager's and coaches' -- it's a football-side operation decision. It's really not my decision."
Two careers in Jacksonville done before they even had a chance. Though the Tim Tebow idea maybe a bit more literal in this case. Right now it certainly seems like Khan is going to let the football people decide, a concept lost on Jerry Jones. It's probably the best move for the team in terms of winning but when it comes to publicity and attendance it won't help.
I am not saying that Khan should overrule his newly hired GM because he shouldn't. It just would've been nice to see if a team would get behind Tim Tebow completely. With Jacksonville making these moves, it seems "Tebow's Time" in the NFL might almost be up.
