Is Tim Tebow time over at Denver Broncos?

With the acquisition of Peyton Manning, the Denver Broncos have ended the short but successful run of Tim Tebow as the Denver starting quarterback.

After leading the Broncos to the play-offs, Tebow is now looking for a new home, but the short-term prospects are not promising for Tebowmania.

At the conclusion of the Manning circus a number of teams are now left without a quality starting quarterback. The problem is none of these sides are a good fit for Tebow.

San Francisco has burnt Alex Smith badly and stand a chance of losing him to the Miami Dolphins. However, Tebow offers no value to the 49ers.

Whichever team picks up Tebow, if they intend to start him, will have to revamp their offensive system similar to what the Broncos did in 2011.

The 49ers side, who were just one game away from the Superbowl, have no motivation to do so.

The Miami Dolphins are desperate to sign a big-name quarterback but Tebow simply does not fit their system.

The Dolphins, which struggle for fan-support in the stacked Miami sporting market, may see this as an opportunity to sell more season tickets but on the Gridiron the move would likely be a disaster.

On the football side of things the Jacksonville Jaguars appear to be the best option with the team looking to repair their passing game about Blaine Gabbert’s awful rookie season.

Tebow would likely relish working with an elite running back like Maurice Jones-Drew.

But the Jaguars front office surprisingly wants nothing to do with Tebow, signing the extremely-average Chad Henne for the 2012 season.

Although Tebow would surely not want to play back-up again he may not have a choice. As a back-up the most likely move is to the Buffalo Bills.

Tebow could serve as a wildcat option next to current Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and may be the x-factor the Bills need to end their 12-year playoffs drought – the longest in the NFL.

A Tebow move to Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots has been touted but seems unlikely considering the depth the Patriots have at the quarterback position.

Sadly, it appears that Tebow time may be over for now.
