Or can you....

Maybe for a season you can get away with doing things differently. When teams start to catch on though, you have to be able to be a jack of all trades. Tebow is a one trick pony.

Maybe Chip is going to implement a flag football style offense where Tebow lines up behind the QB on the wing which gives the throw/run option.  This would certainly spread defenses out and could revolutionize the NFL (if he could pull it off).

There is nothing I read that suggest this is what he is doing but if he does, it could really change things.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of. Tebow is slippery with read option. Chip Kelly's hightempoed offense might actually be perfect for that sneaky bastard.

like the Urban Meyer offense he ran at Florida? Tebow = Cardale Jones.

Reminds me of RG3. Once he was figured out after his rookie season, it was all over for him.

He's a good guy and while I don't share his religious worldview, I never really was bothered too much by that but I do get tired of hearing form his fans that he was "blacklisted" because he's a devout Christian. That's utter horseshit. The guy just isn't a capable NFL QB. And yeah he did have that nice year with the Broncos but no one gives credit to the strong running game they had that year, the D, and that Prater made some very long FGs that year. I wish him all the best with the Eagles but if he's starting for the Eagles at any point this year, it will mean the Eagles season is lost.

Well...he does have Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford ahead of him.  That would be like being valedictorian of the special ed class.

Heh true Jon. I don't know honestly what Kelly was thinking trading Foles for Bradford. I think STL got the better of that one but we shall see.

Poor, persecuted NFL Christians. Ray Lewis, Troy Polamalu and RG3 get so picked on by the league.

I heard Ray Lewis took a stab at other religions...

chip Kelly's offense is the best fit for tebow and could make the team as a back up QB.

urban meyer's and chip Kelly's college offenses were / are a lot a like.

not a big tebow fan.
