RuntheDamnBall Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Just what we needed here on TSW...Another FN Tebow debate! There's a reason why he's a street FA. Please let us move on to other subjects, Tebow is so 2011. Not to quibble, but isn't a street FA an undrafted free agent out of the college / other non-NFL ranks? He's just an Unrestricted free agent because he has full rights to sign with anyone, but has an NFL track record already.

A college free agent is a UDFA or Undrafted Free Agent, a veteran player whose contract expires is either a Restricted Free Agent (RFA) or Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA), and a player that gets released from a team because it no longer wants him or because he's not good enough is commonly referred to as a "Street" Free Agent. He's on the "streets" beating the bushes for a job is the reference I imagine. Tebow, as I said, is a "Street" Free Agent. Edited May 24, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz
mrags Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Chuck Norris once ran a Marathon backwards, just to see what 2nd place looks like.
metzelaars_lives Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Me, too. Chuck Norris once counted to infinity...twice. That's impossible. I gotta be honest, I don't get the Chuck Norris joke thing. So sometime around, what? 2005? People started making jokes saying that this admittedly-amusing-in-retrospect 80's action star is capable of incredible feats. Why? Where did it start? Let me try one: Chuck Norris doesn't have to even get his lawnmower out of the garage. He just looks at his lawn and it's mowed? When Chuck Norris goes to a pizza place he doen't even have to order, they know what kind of pizza he likes just by the look he gives? This is how stupid the Chuck Norris joke thing sounds to me. Maybe I'm turning into a grumpy old man, but I don't get it. Nor do I get anyone thinking Tebow would be a successful CFL 2nd stringer.
mrags Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Every night the BoogeyMan check his closet for...Chuck Norris.

I had always figured it was like, "guy off the street" as opposed to "guy we drafted" - sort of like a walk-on as compared to a college recruit. We'll get to the bottom of this! Fair enough, after doing some research, looks like you're right! Edited May 24, 2013 by RuntheDamnBall
mrags Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Chuck Norris has already been to Mars, that's why there is no signs of life there.

mrags Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer... The problem is, he never cries.
hondo in seattle Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Players don't win games, teams do. Tebow has only completed 47.9% of his NFL passes. That's scary low. His QB Rating is 75.3 and his QBR is 34.3. Those numbers don't scream "Franchise Quarterback." Tebow's faith and celebrity aren't the fundamentals reason he's unemployed. It's a shortage of skill.

mrags Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

You'll have a hard time convincing a number of posters here on that one. I have read here that QBs can win games all by themselves and that they can magically make a ****ty offense and defense much better just by their presence.

Just in Atlanta Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 The Bible has it wrong. On the Seventh Day, God created Chuck Norris.

Just in Atlanta Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Genesis 51: "Chuck Norris broketh The Serpent into two, fashioning it into a fashionable pair of boots. Then Chuck Norris invented the roundhouse kick."
vincec Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Tebow is a weenie who is just a wishful thinking magnet for religious nuts.. He can hold a clip board with the best of them, but he'll NEVER be an NFL starter. And for anti-religious nuts looking for an excuse to bash the other side.
