beavis likes his mental makeup. If health permits, he could be the dark horse for Rolaids Relief Man Award. He will get tons of chances in Beantown.

Bailey says “obviously” 13 times in this interview. Good to know.

kind of reminds me of a younger keith foulke

Paple-Bum always had the eye twords the big bucks and getting it ….this kid is hungry for real baseball…I like it

Darn nice pick up for Boston. They made out like bandits on this trade. Although I do feel that Josh Reddick has quite a bit of upside to him. Oakland will be happy with him.

Why is it everytime a player leaves Boston he all of sudden becomes a bum? Boggs, Nomar, Pedro. Clemens, Damon,the list goes on. Its no wonder Sox fans are some of the dumbest people on earth. Papelbon has been one of the best closer’s in baseball.so lets not forget it. Its funny some players leave there teams good players and come to Boston and then they become Bums, Drew, Crawford, Lackey, Jenks. What a crap organization

 If the Sox can sign a 4-5th starter, I like the way this bullpen shapes up. If Bard starts, they’ll have:
Albers
Morales
Aceves
Melancon
Bailey
Jenks
Miller
Doubrount or Tazawa

If you dont like whats posted here, then dont read it…….Pedro (sic).

And please dont waste our time by posting  meaningless garbage like this.

Paplebon’s a “bum” because he left Boston purely for the bucks. Do you get that??

running back for sure.

why not, he is a great athlete, a good kid, he is a warrior, he listens,

Can he play safety?

Absolutely!  We’ll need another Tim in Boston once the Bruins trade Tim Thomas.

def bring him in. he’ll play w.e position hes given and not complain. also there’s real potential for him 2 work through his mechanical issues and become a good qb. i say its def worth it

Let Hoyer go and trade (if the price is not steep) a third round pick for Tebow. He could add another dimension to the Pats offense. Fullback or running/passing option. It would be interesting to see what he could do on an already dynamic offense. Pats have Ryan Mallett if he does not work out. I would love to see a Pats offense with a Tebow option. It could pose another dilemma for opposing defenses.

nope, never, never never!

Brilliant liberal thinking.  Uh oh Timmy T spoke up against der Führer’s policies now let’s ship him off to ze camps. You have the right avatar just the wrong guy under the hat.

I know it doesn’t seem like a fit but both BB and Josh think the world of Tim and if the price isn’t too costly I could see them reaching out and trading for him.

DANG LIBRUL YANKYS WITH THEIR FANCY BOOK LERNIN

“Hey God . . . I mean Coach Belichik . . . can you trade me to Denver for Tebow?”– Chad Ochocinco

Use him as a running back…!

I heard they wanted to convert him to 3rd tight end or  a blocking fullback.
And he would be there if needed as a 3rd QB

Bring Tebow to NE.. For a good price at least, Ryan mallet isn’t that good himself..
At the very least bring Tim Tebow in as a backup QB, of a running back/QB option.. I’m sure the Patriots could make a lot of plays that would have Tom Brady at the QB position, 2 tight end set, brand Lloyd, Wes walker, a running back, and possible Tebow as a full back… That can create a lot of potential trick plays that would be hard to stop

We don’t need the carnival atmosphere !

Pats suck so does tebow good fit

Running Back, or flee flickers.  Wild Cat, whatever…he would open up a lot of offensive possibilities to an already awesome offense.

Wow. Just wow.  All the idiots are really coming out of the woodwork.  There is absolutely no reason why the Patriots should consider signing Tebow.  You people have really shown your football ignorance;  get rid of Hoyer for Tebow?  Tebow is a better backup than Mallet?  Put him at HB?  Just sign him (and his $4M salary cap hit)!?   Thankfully Bill Belichick is running this team and not some of these sicophantic fans…

Yeah because we really need that with one of the most prolific offenses in the league.  Let’s bring in a guy as a backup who we have to change or entire offense around so we take out the best QB in the league to let this guy throw the ball and waste a down.  So genius!  Oh, and it’s only a $3-$4M cap hit for a backup “Trick” player who doesn’t have a real position.  JUST WHAT WE NEED!

I’ll tell you why not…and I’m barely using my brain:

1.  We have arguably the best QB in the league – there is no reason he shouldn’t have the ball in his hands for all downs.  

2.  Tebow isn’t a better QB than Hoyer (prob. not Mallet either)

3.  Tebow makes starter money.

4.  Tebow needs his own offensive scheme.

5.  We had one of the best offenses in the league last year, and we’ve added more talent.

6.  We sellout our games.  We don’t need a gimmick.

7.  You would have to trade for him, and he’s already overvalued.

8.  You’ll have a bunch of dummies calling for Tebow to play…anywhere (see genius Seth Jacobs above)

9.  We went 13-3 last year.  Someone explain what Tim Tebow could possibly improve upon that?

who comes up with these ridiculous questions. brady will be here for years to come…

 I heard Denver would be willing to trade him in exchange for a 5th round pick. If the Pats could get him for a 5th round pick, of course they should trade for him. The Patriots would basically be doing what they did last year with Haynesworth and Ochocinco- trading a late round pick and potentially getting a great player in return. Last year when Tebow 1st started playing in games, we saw how difficult he made it for defenses. So why not bring him in and see if it works out. He would have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time as a mentor. Yes, he can’t really throw the ball well but he’s a good runner. The Pats could use him as a rb and run a few trick plays with him throwing the ball a short distance. Low risk, high reward.

no no no.. tebow is a faggot

That’s the same thing I was thinking bring him in as running back and then we can probably use hb pass

The Patriots are set at QB.  They don’t need to bring in a hybrid/wildcat guy because they are NEVER going to put someone other than Tom Brady under center unless they’re up by 50 points or he’s hurt.  You don’t run gimmick offenses when you have one of the best QBs alive on your roster.  There’s just no need.  I mean, if you’re going to do that, why wouldn’t the Broncos keep him for that purpose?  Manning isn’t going to run a ton of QB sneaks with his neck.

And I really don’t get where people think Tebow will come in and play TE or HB or special teams. When has he ever given anyone the impression that he can play those positions or would be willing to play those positions?  He chose to go to Florida where he could be the QB.  He stated before he was drafted that he wanted to be a quarterback in the NFL, not a tight end or fullback or safety.  Haven’t heard him say anything to the contrary of that since then.

The idea that the Patriots would trade for him is asinine.  I’m saddened that there are so many dopey “fans” responding to this poll.

Amazing how many Patriot Haters visit these Patriots polls.  NO WAY 48% of true Patriots fans want Tebow in NE.  NO WAY!

The only reason Tim Tebow should come to New England is to hold a sermon before the team heads out of the locker room. Both back up QB’s are better than Tebow. He’d be nothing but a headache. Ship him to Jax so we never have to hear his name again.

Watch your back my friend

Why don’t the Pats trade for me instead?  I possess the same attributes that Tebow does.  I pray daily and I can’t throw.

If they could bring him in as a running back, but he would have to cost less than 3 mil.  Everyone would like him to come here but it is not possible

But does God find favor with you?

If the Patriots get Tebow I will renounce my lifelong allegiance to the team.  

When he’s not playing QB or RB, he could play slot corner, and run back punts, and be the backup field goal kicker.  Imagine how many trick plays they could run out of FG formation…or he could be the guy 1/2 way back to the punter, because Chung messed up the fake punt play 2 yrs ago…Tebow would be a fake punt machine

Please no! We don’t need him.put Hernandez in and let him do what t bag does.waste of time . Go figure if the pats got him and used him on some plays it’s obvious what he’s gona do.we all know he can’t throw.

Eureka, stop the presses. I’ve found my big running back. Why not take a chance on him in what i’ve been advocating; a solid (not finesse) running back. He could have the ball pitched back to him occasionally, but if he were willing to accept this role it could be interesting. You need to find a niche for this guy. I think it’s almost a given that he would never be the kind of disruptive force we’ve had from a handful of divas the past 5 years. He could bring alot more energy from the fans, it would be wild, certainly the :Pats would gain many more “convert” fans from around the country who absolutely despise our team, ( not that i care a whit). Why not take a chance? BB has rolled the dice on his share of bums, and TB aint no bum. Hep me, i dun got the fever, Tebowmania! 

Unwelcome trolls suck yeahhhhh

No. definitely don’t get rid of Hoyer for TB. Mallet, however, from what ive heard, is NOT in thier long range goals and i would take TB straight up even for RM.

Ahh come on. You should already be renouncing it because they picked up El Stinko. TB has positively got to be of infinitely more value than Tweet Stinkie……

You can not convince me that this guy would not be a weapon on this team.McDaniels has clearly shown he is one of the most creative play callers in the league and definitely had some ideas for him when he drafted him. Plus, who knows, maybe he develops a few years down the road and when Brady finally retires we have 2 options at qb

That would be 12 men on the field.  If Tebow is at FB, then there has to be a RB.  Add those 2 to the 5 man O-line and QB and you’re already at 8 men.  If Tebow steps on the field as a FB, then one of Gronk/Hernandez/Welker/Lloyd is on the sidelines.  Thus, he would only be used in 100% run situations. I’d love to see him on the Pats, but there is rarely going to be an opportunity where him being on the field is a better option than Gronk/Hernandez/Welker/Lloyd and the RBs.

Tim Tebow is NOT A TIGHT END.  Tim Tebow is NOT A RUNNING BACK.  Tim Tebow is barely even a quarterback by NFL standards.  What kind of weapon would Tebow be for the Patriots?  What is going to bring to the table that the Patriots need?

I don’t really recall McDaniels doing anything special with Tebow in Denver, nor anything extraordinarily creative in his previous time with the Pats that would translate to maximizing whatever skills Tebow allegedly brings to the table.  He’s talented as a coordinator, but he’s not a wizard.  Not that there’s a great need of offensive gimmicks with the talent the team already has on hand.

They already have one of the most prolific offenses in the league.  They
already have an all-world quarterback with three Super Bowl rings and
two MVPs to his name.  They’ve got an all pro WR and an all pro TE as primary targets.  They have an ever deepening supporting cast beyond those two as well.  They have had no trouble moving the ball up and down
the field nor with putting the ball in the end zone the last couple years. 
The last thing they need is a gimmick in their offense.  The last thing they need is Tim Tebow.

What they need is to improve the talent on the defensive side of the ball.  If they’re going to spend draft picks, better to do it there than in a trade to acquire a needless player like Tebow.

I’d rather have Brady passing the ball to whoever is open out of Gronk/Hernandez/Welker/Lloyd than snap the ball to Tebow and let him create some rediculous play.

I would only trade for Tebow if it was a no-brainer, like a 5th round pick.  However, I doubt he’d come that cheap.  Some small market team will offer a 1st round pick because it will result in tons of revenue for their team. 

The main reason I don’t see Belichick going after Tebow is that he would barely be used.  Best case scenario, he gets a few snaps a game at FB, RB, blocking TE, and possibly the wild-cat or something lame like that.  AKA, he would only be used when the Pats are in a run-situation.  Is that worth 4M/year?  nope.

 I just can’t believe 46% said yes. First off, where would he play?  And two, his 15 minutes of fame were up long ago. He’s got Flutieitis.

Deff bring Tebow aboard! Can you say many options- Fullback, Running back, Wildcat!

He’s a great kid with integrity, he is an athlete and my guess is he’s not too expensive. A great addition to the locker room. He may be a better deal than some of the free-agents with a history of injuries.

But, he would be a asset in only limited situations. As a back he can run the ball and in those 3rd and 4 type situations that arm might keep the defense spread just enough to make plays and move the chains

 Why would he be on the field on 3rd and 4? He doesn’t give you a better chance of converting than Tom Brady to Welker.

He is just a no good religious freek!!!!! Screw Tebow let him play for Jesus’ team!!!

 If he can play any other position but QB for the Pats then he is definitely a perfect fit. Pretty much every position on defense the Patriots are weak at and in the backfield they’re a no threat.

f yea bring in d’jesus–he’ll fly.  If he can’t multiply the loaves and fishes we’ll lance him after the crucifixion. 

Straight up trade, Ocho for “TT”. As a person, they don’t come any better.

I think he would be great in the wildcat and even as running back. He would have to know his part in the O and buy into it before I would spend money on him. 

…and Tim Wakefield is gone already!

Bring him to NE – Belichik has a way to find the best way to use a player, AND since Brady is NOT a running quarterback, its nice to have options.

why not, he is a great athelete, great person as welllet Belichick use him for some options to use, it doesn’t have to be at quarterback, he knows his days as a everyday for a long period of time is very short in this league, why not keep open for then idea for another or many positions he can be used in, sky is the limit with this player if used right

We’re stocked at tight end. We could use a blocking fullback who can also carry the ball, but that’s the ONLY way I ever want to see the worst NFL QB in the modern ear as a Patriot!

Riiiight. The most consistent team of the past decade sucks. Matcules is obviously a tootsie loving Jets fan!

I have no issues with bringing Tebow here.  The “distractions” only exist if it is allowed to exist, which we all know here in NE, it will die off.  

Bottom line is that Tebow is somebody who has an excellent attitude and work ethic. I have no doubt that if he is brought here BB will get the most out of him and Tebow will also have the opportunity to learn from a real QB! 

I say let the Patriots give him a try-out. 

Yea, all those wins, year after year, after year are such a drag. Pats would be dumb to acquire a kid with heart as big as a watermelon.

I am a life long Pats fan, former season ticket holder, now living in Colorado.
I watched Tebow all last season and think he has great potential 
He is the hardest worker I have ever seen, He would be a great backup and a future great player

Is there a dislike button anywhere?

tims going to take the place of brady once brady retires. Brady is 36 years old. hes a few good hits away from retiring.
