The Rally: Will Tim Tebow save his NFL career or flop in New England?

A day after Tim Tebow’s release from the New York Jets, the Omaha Beef – an indoor football team in Nebraska – offered the former Florida quarterback a roster spot and $75 per game. Forty-one days later, the New England Patriots trumped the Beef’s offer, signing Tebow to a two-year, non-guaranteed contract.

As the hysteria slowly dies down for the time being, alligatorSports assistant editor Landon Watnick and alligatorSports.org editor Chuck Kingsbury will debate if Tebow will succeed in his first season in Foxborough, Mass.
