Tim Tebows Time in the NFL is almost Over

Well it seems that his career is almost at an end according to this.

He completed just one of seven passes for a loss of one yard, and had one interception on a badly overthrown pass. He was sacked twice on his first nine plays. But the lefty who has trouble reading defenses and zipping passes did what he does best, running six times for 30 yards.

A week earlier, in his debut, he was a bit better — 4 for 12 for 55 yards with four runs for 31 yards in a 31-22 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Those stats add up to a 0.0 passer rating. It would just be easier to get some rookie from a BCS school that can actually throw down field and be done with it. Tebow might get some reps at fullback but that position is slowly disappearing in the NFL thanks to the read option.

Tebow just can't be good in a read option because you need to throw the ball accurately from time to time so that teams can't just load up for the run. That is what makes Kaepernick and RG3 so effective in running it since they can actually throw a decent spiral and not that wobbly 15-yarder that is all that Tebow is capable of.
