ESPN is continuing to report St. Louis as a possible destination if the deal with the Jets falls through.
If it's true the Rams were ever interested in Tebow it makes me concerned about the leadership we have in place.

Exactly, I'd hate to see my favorite team pick up a guy just for the "side show" value. Why not pick up Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair? Pee Wee Herman and Michael Jordan? Let's get this Carnival on the road!!!!!!!! Is Dennis Rodman available?

I don't know what's real anymore. Jim Thomas is flat-out denying that the Rams are interested; claiming, "They were just poking around to see what backup QBs were available." Of course I have no idea what that means, but there you are. Sometimes I think "league sources" is this guy:MerlinJones said:

Now the Worm I could get behind. At least Rodman knew his role on the team. Plus, the ram horn haircut he'd probably sport would be sweet!

The Tebow rumors just didnt make sense for us. Its one thing to be looking for competition for the backup QB spot, Tebow is a whole different story.
Heres my theory: Everyone knows we've shown interest in backup QBs in FA. We brought Shaun Hill in for a visit, and I think we were also linked to Jason Campbell. There may have been others. Someone could have easily looked at that and assumed we would be interested in Tebow. Maybe there was legitimate interest in Tebow. When you take out the media/fan circus, he could be used in short yardage situations, gadget plays, redzone, 2pt conversions, etc. Would you give up a 6 or 7th round pick for a player that can succeed in those situations? It reminds me of what the Oklahoma Sooners did with Landry Jones backup QB last season. He was a big fella, and was used in the redzone(I think he had 2 or 3 tds in the OU/Baylor game).

Not saying that there was ever anything to this other than media pimping on a slow day. But if anyone on the Rams wanted him it might be Schotty, use TT like he did Brad Smith with the Jets. Tebow would be a big chunk of what cap space is left. Getting a udfa athletic spread qb would be a better option to run a wildcat.
P.S. The wildcat is dead.
Yes he would sell tickets, yes he would sell Jersey's and yes their would be much gnashing of teeth over who should be the Rams qb.
This would be bad. As much as I liked watching him, putting him in a timing offense dependent on accuracy would be a disaster.

Well thank Tebow for that.
Apparently he picked the Jets over the Jags. I guess you really can't go home again.

Yeah, turns out they weren't (interested). They were, according to Balzer, just interested in the teams that Tebow was slated to end up at, so that they could garner interest in one of THOSE teams' QBs.WestsideRamsfan said:

I guess Tebow chose NY over JAX. JAX offer to the Broncos was actually better(Their have a higher 4th round pick and were willing to pay 3 mill of the back contract compared to NY's 2.5 offer). Tebow said he really wanted to play for Rex.
Interesting personality combo
