Not a Patriots fan--but wasn't a Broncos fan either--and, just as I was essentially an ANTI-Elway guy, so I've been a NON-fan of Belichik (albeit for a different set of reasons entirely--and he HAS slowly earned my grudging respect as a coach over the years--tho' I STILL "just don't LIKE the guy", for whatever that's worth), the real points are (1) I AM a TEBOW-fan, always will be, and (2) This lines up well in so many ways as far as a "best case scenario" for TT given everything that's come before it--so much so that I don't even feel like working thru' the long list of ways it helps, protects and puts him in the best position for future success, especially when you factor McDaniels into the mix...Best of all of those points, though, I think, is that he was BROUGHT IN AS A QB, that's what he's there for--PERIOD, Belichik has and WILL shut down any talk otherwise from the media idiots, if asked, and in this way and others TT is for the 1st time in awhile "protected", shielded from a great deal of the yapping ignorance and general stupidity of ill-qualified, self-proclaimed "experts". He's the honest-to-goodness back-up to Tom Brady, that's the idea pure and simple, a good place to be for him now while he refocuses and gets comfortable there, gets a chance to fit in--and don't think Belichik and Co. aren't considering and preparing for any kind of situations where his "special" skills might be employed in certain situations to gain an edge at some crucial point in a game, even with a healthy Brady. They could do that sort of thing without raising any internal controversy on that team (though the media'll have a fit the day that happens, no matter what).
