A Year Away from the NFL Is Best for Polarizing QB

Just think, plenty of incapable quarterbacks have caught on as backups, third-stringers or novelty signal-callers over the years, but none of them came with as much distracting baggage as Tebow.

But, if he’s not a member of an NFL team, and spends the year training and honing his lacking quarterback skills, the attention will naturally wane.

Essentially, Tebow and his public relations team should put forth a concerted effort to reduce his publicity crazy, right? In 2014, his return would undoubtedly be covered, but by then, the “heroics” of the 2011 season with the Denver Broncos would be a distant memory, and a good portion of America presumably would have lost its fascination in Tebow’s Cinderella story.

A year hiatus from the professional game wouldn’t deter teams anymore than it has now heck, he basically took a year off from football in 2012 with the New York Jets, didn’t he? Should Tim Tebow step away from the NFL for a year? However, if he wants to be taken seriously by an NFL team a future employer he should do whatever he can to diminish what has become the dreaded Tim Tebow media circus.
