Where Will Tim Tebow Play His Next Home Football Game? Don't Be Surprised If It's Philly

Before you burst out laughing, this is something I have thought about for a long time. Tim Tebow, arguably the greatest college football players of the decade, may very well end up an Eagle. And the funny part is, it may just make sense. And Reid damn sure would do it.

However, this early speculation depends on one thing happening. The Eagles let Vick go at the end of this year. Unlike some people around these parts, I have nothing against Vick, but the Eagles are only paying Vick $1.6 million. His contract contains only an option next year and that option, should the Eagles pick it up, is worth $5.2 million. If the Eagles do pick up that option, then the chance of Tebow coming here goes down significantly. But, with the lack of production of Vick and his desire to once again be a starting quarterback in the NFL, something he won't be in Philadelphia, he is going to want to go elsewhere and the Eagles may not be giddy to pay someone $5.2 million for 2 plays per game. I'll wish Vick all the best in his future endeavors assuming, but from a football standpoint, Vick has not necessarily been the unstoppable weapon that I think Reid wanted when he coerced the Eagles into signing him.

So if Vick goes, where will the Eagles go from there? For starters, they will only have two quarterbacks on their roster, Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb. Andy Reid may still want a little toy he can play around with.

Who better to fit both billings than Tebow? We all know that Tebow is currently a starting QB at Florida and we also know that the chances of Tebow actually being an everday starting QB in the NFL are quite slim at this point and that his best chances may be playing other positions. It's a perfect fit and a perfect replacement for Vick, and with the Eagles draft position, a real possibility. Look, there is a chance Daniel Snyder or Al Davis trade up to take Tebow in the top 10, undermining everyone, there is no doubt about that. But, if Tebow starts falling to the 20s where a lot of people are expecting him to go at this point, I would really anticipate Andy Reid making a move. I have read no reports that the Eagles are actually interested in such a move, this is all my speculation, but you are absolutely kidding yourselves if you think that this has no chance of happening.

Vick's option is too much for too little on-field production, the Eagles would be without a 3rd string QB, Andy Reid would be without a gadget, and Tebow would be able to do both. And the key word here is Andy Reid. Drafting Tebow is without a doubt something that he would do and if used in the manner that Vick is being used now, I think it might just be stupid enough to work. Just ignore the fact that media constantly develops hard-ones over him and look at what he does, he is a hard-worker, a great person off the field, and is someone who I believe has the capabilities to learn a complicated Eagles offense. If you think this is complete crazy talk, then you may be in for a rude-awakening on draft day.

So the Eagles draft Tebow? I'm not saying it will happen, but you better believe that it is a damn good possibility.
