You are right, but I don't think Tebow is even worth the roster spot because trick plays don't get called much, if not every game. And not to mention there's the media circus. Of course, that's just my opinion.
I see this as a no-cost win/win.
The win for Tebow is obvious. Gets back in football. Minimal controversy, so he can move past the past. Back with McDaniels, and can develop.

The win for the Patriots is less obvious, but also costs them nothing unless he proves he can be of value, but also, they bring in a guy who has lifted the play of an entire team (Denver). No one in their fan base is going to go Tebow crazy, so they can just look him over in camp and preseason, and see if he can be a fit. The biggest part of the win, is he is a competent camp body that gets their defense thinking outside of the box, and their offense is so stable they can afford to take a few practice snaps out of Brady's hands to let the defense see other looks.

So how did he lift the play of the Denver defense that held their own when he kept going 3 and out? Did they decide to play better cause they knew they were going to be on the field more? If that's the case then we should just say the hell w/ RG3 and run out Pat White. I don't understand that comment, nor do I understand the media love affair with someone who completes 45% of his passes.

I don't know how he did it, maybe it was a "holy s***" that guy is so bad we better play our butts off. But the defense certainly picked up after Orton was benched.
