"rumors are now circulating" ... are you buying this?

http://www.isportstimes.com/articles...ity-chiefs.htm

The Kansas City Chiefs may have just agreed to a trade with the San Francisco 49ers to get QB Alex Smith, but they may not be done dealing just yet. Even though Alex Smith will clearly be the opening day starter in Kansas City, they are still in need of a backup in case Smith gets hurt. Because of that, rumors are now circulating that Chiefs coach Andy Reid may be interested in Tim Tebow.

Alex Smith lost his starting job in San Francisco due to injury. He may not be injury-prone, but he certainly is no stranger to being sidelined. If that happens, the Kansas City Chiefs desperately need a backup quarterback that will fit their scheme. Tim Tebow could be the perfect quarterback to come into KC and back him up.

The Chiefs cannot expect Alex Smith to throw the football 40 times a game. In fact, they would do best if they built their offense around a running game and let Smith become a game manager. Tim Tebow may not be able to make all of the throws, but he is more than capable of becoming a game manager.

Another problem with the Kansas City Chiefs is their inability to sell tickets and spark interest among the fan base. Kansas City was not very excited to hear that their team traded for Alex Smith, but trading for Tim Tebow would almost certainly help the team sell some tickets.

Not only does a Tim Tebow to the Kansas City Chiefs trade make sense, it would also be risk-free for Andy Reid. The New York Jets do not want anything to do with Tebow which means the Chiefs will be able to get him for a very low draft pick. KC could probably get him for a seventh or sixth round draft pick.

Alex Smith is a dink and dunk QB, he's a game manager. If he's got talent around him, he can be good. He does better with a legit running game. The thing is, Reid loves to pass the ball. He does not like to run the ball much. The question is, will this help or hinder Alex Smith?

good lord....

After 211 posts I can't believe this has to be said.

This guy is totally speculating. Way to over react. This reads almost like Athan.

That doesn't make any sense. It's like saying "That basketball player is great shooting from half court, but he can't make any 3 pointers or layups."

It makes perfect sense, and you've perfectly summarized Tebow's skill set in the passing game.

Tebow is viable, a great compliment to Smith, and a GREAT answer to the needs of KC's QB dilemma.

Well, just look at TT's release. He throws the ball like a javelin, not a dart. So he's widely innacurate on short to medium passes but fairly good on the deep stuff. I know, it's wierd but TT is not your typical QB. He's more like a MLBer playing QB.

He is terrible at throwing in all phases. He should play TE.

being that I watched most if not all his games, I agree to an extent. He does suck throwing the ball and he will never be an NFL QB. But when he does throw the ball, his best throws are the deep stuff.
