The Rally: Will Tim Tebow save his NFL career or flop in New England?
By LANDON WATNICK< | June 12, 2013A 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.

ESPN’s Ed Werder broke the story Monday afternoon, and immediately, our Facebook and Twitter feeds exploded.

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.
