Three-Quarter Back


Tim Tebow just signed with the New England Patriots football team ... see: ESPN Story.  I will make an off-the-wall prediction about this acquisition.  Tim Tebow will not be playing quarterback for the Patriots ... except, very rarely, as a third-string backup.  I predict that Bill Belichick will use Tebow as a new and innovative type of running back ... bigger than a half-back (but almost as agile), but not as up-the-middle as a full-back.  I don't expect he will be on the offensive team most of the time ... but in special situations (maybe on-side kick-off returns) and for trick plays (running-back passes) or third-down long yardage situations..

As such, he will be dubbed a "three-quarter back."
