What do you guys think of bringing on Tim Tebow as a FB/TE (and on desperate occassions, QB)?
I think he could make a nice understudy for Mike Rob.

So no.

Here's the valid reason you're searching for.
Tebow doesn't seem to be willing to take a FB/TE role. He could probably be very good with that role. But he seems to be determined to compete as a QB, and he's just not a viable option at that position.
But even on the off chance he was willing to make the switch, the media circus that comes with him is problematic. That's not his fault (entirely), but it could present a distraction for the team. And you have to wonder if having that extra FB/TE is worth the potential distraction.

Whatever the conventional "wisdom", I'd consider Tebow at the expense of my genitalia, orifices, etc

I'm not going to dignfy this thread with anything even remotely resembling a response.
Ok, I'll play along. . .
I'd have to submit a response exactly duplicating what the above gentlemen has already issued. Tebow is a over-hyped drama queen who has gotten lucky enough times to fool people into thinking he has skills.

Do you feel the same way about Sherman and Mike Rob?
Twitter war, media circus, youtube shows, where do you draw the line?
What drew more attention to the Jets last season? Jets losing record, Sanchez's buttfumble, Rex Ryans tattoo or Tim Tebow?

Reasons why bringing Tim Tebow to Seattle is a non-starter.
1. He can't throw.
2. He can't throw.
3. He can't throw.
He's everything you could ever want from a quarterback except for that. Bit of a problem. You seem to think it's a personal thing but the reality is fans want their team to win so bad you can be a rapist in this league and the fans will want you if you can play the position at a high level. It's not because of his beliefs or the backlash against the cult of personality. That argument just doesn't stand up to reality. Which is Tim Tebow can't throw.
Tebow at first. The only reason the rest of your examples gained more attention was because the Jets kept Tebow parked on the sidelines.
As for Sherman and Mike Rob, Robinson does his own videos and he's not even in the same atmosphere as Tebow when it comes to media coverage.
Sherman is closer, but the difference is that he's a playmaker and much better at his position than Tebow is at his.

No. If some of you had seen Rich Gannon in his early years you would have said he couldn't play QB in the NFL. Steve Young's completion percentage after 40 games played: 53%.
Because of the rapid development of many young passers recently some assume that if you look bad your first couple of seasons you automatically cannot play. They forget that in most cases it has taken significant time to become a productive starting NFL QB. Several QBs blossomed late in their careers after initially written off as busts.
Tebow is still working through all the mechanical issues that Urban Meyer selfishly ignored. Those issues may not be correctable, but what if they are? If we could acquire him for cheap and develop him as a project behind Wilson I would not be opposed. Those against seem either shortsighted or bigoted to me...
