Tim Tebow blackballed, Has Tim Tebow been blackballed from landing another gig in the NFL? The quarterback is often front-and-center in the media for both his play and his personal convictions, but these days he's having a hard time finding a new gig. Yahoo! Sports tackled the question many are contemplating on May 9.
Once upon a time, Tim Tebow was everywhere and his performance with the Denver Broncos in 2011 propelled him into superstardom. Since then, however, it's been quite the tumble down off the pedestal. Tebow was recently released by the New York Jets, and there don't seem to be other teams lining up to add him to their rosters.
Is Tim Tebow being blackballed because of the intense media attention that comes along with having him around? Are his strong Christian convictions seen as too much of a distraction to any team he is on in the league? Or, is his play simply not of the quality that makes him attractive to teams shuffling players around at this point. Given how many players with bigger problems still get multiple chances to play, many are wondering if his quarterback skills aren't the core issue.
Yahoo! Sports shares that one head coach says that while Tim Tebow seems like a great guy to have on the team, “it's just not worth dealing with all the stuff that comes with it.” Obviously things did not go smoothly, to say the least, during his time with the Jets. However, many still find it perplexing that nobody wants to give him a shot in some capacity. When football players who get arrested time and again can get additional shots, some find it curious and unfortunate that at this point, Tebow can't seem to say the same thing.
Granted there is plenty of time yet for Tebow to find a new spot to play before the new season begins. Will someone take a chance on the quarterback or is Tim Tebow blackballed entirely?
