Tim Tebow Signs With The Philadephia Eagles

Big news came via Jay Glazer who scooped that Tim Tebow would be signing a contract and participating in the Philadelphia Eagles offseason workouts starting April 20th. That is big news everyone, a big ticket item in a news cycle that is about to spin out of control with the Draft starting in 10 days! Is Chip Kelly the most arrogant pompous coach in the League (without a playoff win) or is too much being made over a potential 3rd string Qb? Lets break it down and see!
 
Tim Tebow deserves another chance and lets be clear its just an opportunity that Chip Kelly is extending to one of college's winningest quarterbacks. The hope is that the organization will handle the hoopla a whole lot better than the New York Jets did and set the tone for normalcy for the team. The signing also allows them to either trade or release Matt Barkley who has not faired well since being drafted two years ago. The signing, however, does has its detractors who are saying this type of move signals a lack of a quarterback on the team especially coming on the heals of trading quarterback Nick Foles for a talented but perenially hurt quarterback Sam Bradford. I don't honestly know what to think but I'm patient and willing to let things play themselves out.
 
Chip Kelly is ballsy enough to make this move and throw conventional wisdom by the wayside which can be construed as arrogant or brilliant. People are taking sides and it makes the Philadelphia Eagles must see TV as people either want to see Kelly succeed or fail. I fall on the succeed side as I'm that diehard who's open to anything that pushes us towards winning the Super Bowl. What do you think and what side do you fall on?!
