This is one of those cases where I think his religion did him in. Sure, he isn't a top of the line NFL QB, but he has a winning record as a starter (in 16 games as a starter he is 9-7) during which he threw for 17 TDs Vs 9 Int and he has a playoff win.

Many people say it was Denver's defense that won those games and I won't argue against that, but his stats through 16 starts are better than Eli Manning and similar to Joe Flacco. In most cases a guy like that would at the very least get many offers to be a backup and for a team that has an established veteran QB having him as a backup could give them time to maybe help him develop into a starter without any pressure.

I was reading that there are teams interested in giving Jamarcus Russell another shot and Ryan Leaf got a few different shots, but somehow Tebow is out. There is something about him that turns teams off and I think it is his very public faith.
