I pray every night for God to give Tebow another shot in the NFL.

After seeing a fan fall to the ground while suffering a seizure Tebow stopped what he was doing, laid hands on the man praying for him, and waited for paramedics to arrive.
Donald Trump should use that excuse next time he's accused of groping.

"I was just praying for her to get bigger ****!"

I mean good luck to him if he enjoys it...but 29 year old, hitting .224 in Class A baseball (4th Division pro ball) with a strikeout rate just under 30%!!
Give it up son. Although unlike Hayne, Tebow's not a quitter.

Tim Tebow will begin the 2019 baseball season in Class AAA, and New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen is making it clear that the 31-year-old may get a chance in the majors.

The Mets' new GM announced early in November that Tebow would be with the Class AAA Syracuse Mets to start the new season and reaffirmed in an interview Wednesday that the former Heisman Trophy winner is just "one step away."

While obviously, yes, Class AAA is technically "one step away" from the majors, it was surprising to hear Van Wagenen so bullish on Tebow's chances. Van Wagenen said that an injury in the major league outfield could open the door for Tebow's promotion.

“If Tim Tebow is the best offensive player in Triple-A at that point, he’s going to be in (manager Mickey Callaway's) lineup,” Van Wagenen said on WFAN radio.

Van Wagenen previously represented Tebow as the player's agent with CAA Baseball.

Tebow batted .273 with six homers and 36 RBI in 84 games in 2018 for Class AA Binghamton before an injury – a broken hamate bone in his right hand – required surgery and cut his season short in July. He hit .301 in June and was batting .340 in July before the injury.

If the season started today, the Mets would have Michael Conforto, Juan Lagares and Brandon Nimmo as the team's starting outfield. Tebow is not currently on the team's 40-man roster.

Tim Tebow struggling at Triple-A

When Tim Tebow announced that he would play minor league baseball, most people thought it was somewhere between a joke and a publicity stunt: The 31-year-old Tebow hadn’t played since high school. It just wasn’t realistic to think he could amount to anything after so much time off.
But Tebow, to an extent, proved the doubters wrong. Although he was far from the best player in Double-A baseball last year, he was at least respectable, and looked like a legitimate baseball player. This was no publicity stunt.
Unfortunately, Tebow has moved up to Triple-A this year, and the early returns are ugly.
The stats for the Syracuse Mets, Tebow’s team, tell the story. He’s last on the team with a .120 batting average, last with a .185 on-base percentage and last with a .200 slugging percentage. He has struck out a team-high 10 times and hasn’t hit a home run.
He’s still learning how to hit some of this pitching,” Syracuse manager Tony DeFrancesco told ESPN. “I mean, these guys are throwing 97, 98 miles per hour. They’re spinning the baseball. He’s making some adjustments.”
A 31-year-old minor leaguer who’s “still learning” wouldn’t last if he weren’t Tim Tebow, so there’s no doubt that the Mets organization is giving him a longer leash than it would most players. But he’s going to have to learn soon, or else his hopes of making it to the majors will go from slim to none.

You sound like a Pats fan
He's in denial, blindly supporting him. And moving the goalposts on the initial debate. We're talking as a QB scout, Elways sucks big hairy ones. Like, seriously, he's god awful at it. Look at the QBs he's drafted (but also acquired in trades/FA). Apart from Manning, who is a HOFer anyway, anyone having Manning on his team can just sit back as a GM and look good. But apart from that, they've ALL sucked. He just misfires as a scout/evaluator.
