Tim Tebow has dutifully battled for the position of third-string quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles this August. By all accounts, Tebow has improved. His release is faster and his mechanics are quicker. He’s yet to throw an interception and he’s rushed for a touchdown. Tebow’s stats are comparable to that of Matt Barkley, the man he is competing against. But Tebow has thrown just 19 times over three preseason games, so it’s hard to say what his stats really mean.
For all intents and purposes, Thursday night is Tebow’s last shot at making an NFL roster.
