all credit goes to General Fan

So to wrap everything up, there are not many teams that can really change qbs at the time and going to Tim is an expensive and very risky move for the people who make that decision.
I don't know if the Jets tweaked his contract, but in Denver, to make the huge bonuses, I believe he had to take 60% of the offensive snaps. If that is still in play, there isn't much chance he will eclipse that as they are nearly 60% through the season and he never got more than a handful of snaps in a game. In about a week or two, it will almost be a mathematical impossibility unless he starts rattling off a bunch of sustained 15 play drives the rest of the year. Unlikely IMO, considering his track record of three and outs.

Anyone taking a risk on him could easily bench him if they are worried about the money. Happens all the time in sports. That is, unless he for some reason goes on a tear, in which case, he's worth every penny.

Probably b/c he's not a starting calibar QB?

Let's look.

Phins- Tannehill
Bills- Fitz for now, probably draft their Qb this year.
Pats- Brady

Colts- Luck
Texans- Schaub
Titans- Locker/Hass
Jags- Gabbert, ok this is one spot he COULD start.

Chiefs- Cassel/Quinn but probably draft one.
Broncos- Peyton/Brock
Raiders- Palmer for now.
Chargers- Rivers

Bengals- Dalton
Browns- Weeden, but who knows if their new FO sticks with him and no they won't bring in Tebow.
Steelers- Big Ben
Ravens- Flacco

Panthers- Newton
Bucs- Freeman
Falcons- Ryan
Saints- Brees

Cowboys- Romo
Eagles- Foles/Vick
Giants- Eli
Skins- RG3

Packers- Rodgers
Bears- Cutler
Lions- Stafford
Vikes- Ponder

Rams- Bradford
Seahawks- Wilson
Niners- Kaepernick/Smith
Cardinals- Skelton/Kolb but possibly get a QB in the draft.

Cards and Jags are places he could go.

Sorry, basically every team has someone right now.

I think he's a starting caliber QB... in the CFL.

Doug Flutie was a star there.

Because when a team owns a player's contract he as a football player belongs to them and that team can exercise the right to sit that player and make him sit all 16 games of the season without needing to provide any justification whatsoever. TEAM > player

That is the point of part 1. Dispelling the myth that 32 teams in the nfl took a pass on him. In reality being as generous as possible only a handful were in any kind of position to take him or any other quarter back.

Even the two you picked have some issues

Jags - Invested in their 1st round draft pick

Cardinals - gave kolb a big bag a money recently

They might all have someone right now, but believe me, if other teams thought Tebow was half as good as many give him credit for... (like inspiring a 1-4 team to turn it around and get to the playoffs... ) believe me, NO team is that far invested in their question marks under center to not take a chance on someone who allegedly has sky high potential. If they were believers, they'd take him in a second, ESPECIALLY since it will cost next to nothing to get him.

look at Seattle... paid all that to get Flynn and ended up starting their rookie instead. Woudln't be the first time a team abandoned an expensive investment for someone they thought was better.
