The thing here is that he's talking about a mid round pick... not a late round gamble. Big difference.

I still don't understand the general dislike of Tebow. Sure he doesn't fit our offence. Does he really fit an offence out there? All I am saying is if you give a chess piece like that to Sean Payton, it gives him options even if he doesn't use it. I wouldn't waste a load of money on him nor give away any picks, but having him on the roster doesn't seem so terrible to me. Also if Brees goes down, you're saying you would rather have McCown see the game out? I'd rather stick Roman Harper in there and tell him to air it out!

I mean if we brought Tebow here to play H-back, I could be okay with that. It would certainly be interesting to say the least. Now if we're bring him in here to play quarterback, I think all our skilled position players on offense would suffer from depression should anything ever happen to Drew.
