    It looks like Tim Tebow is available for a 4th a 6th (AND $5M!!) - is he worth trading for do you think?

    That would be the story of the year if he became a contributor on offense.

    What was the injury like?

    Cant find specifics on it, but it was his head/neck/brain

    Apparently he was drafted while in a coma, and didnt even know he was drafted until over a week after he was selected.

    I looked him up on youtube and he looked significantly slower than he did before. I mean, in itself it is absolutely amazing that he is alive and well and can walk, but who knows if he can still play well. But I guess that would be up to the Jets to determine.

    If they thought he was worth a spot on the team, I would assume he is back in shape and could be a nice pickup with great upside.

    Has anyone heard anything recently on Atogwe? Jets showed interest a few days ago, but all news has turned to tebowmania since the trade.

    Wayne Hunter is a *competent* backup. It's pretty safe to assume that Ducasse will be at least that if Hunter somehow isn't this year. We don't need a backup. We need a starter. Other than the first round or a cap casualty/unlikely trade there really aren't sure fire starters out there. That is the problem. That is why Hunter is still on the roster.

    But if he cant pass a physical you would honestly want to waste a roster spot on him?

    He can go thru a Tebow 'Laying Of the Hands' ceremony and he will be healed. :beer:
