I believe the Pats signed Tebow to help bring structure in Aaron Hernandez's life. He was a teammate of Aaron at Florida and NFL Films released a clip of Tebow and Brady talking about how difficult it was to keep an eye on Hernandez. They had this discussion at midfield after a game in front of the cameras! Since Brady was the one who initiated the conversation, he must have known Tebow was working with Aaron in some capacity. With Gonk in limbo and Welker gone, Brady needed Aaron to stay out of trouble this year. The Pats don't need jersey sales and Tebow can't throw worth of a poodle's pile. Why not use him for what he does best? He is a highly moral, inspirational motivating Christian who could baby sit a sociopathic monster. Just you wait, the Pats released Tebow ticker will come across your TV screen before the season start.
Brady: “Good game, Tim. You’re having a great year.” Tebow: “Thanks. I appreciate it.” Brady: ‘Keep it up. Good things happen to good people. Tebow: “I appreciate that.” Brady: “And I’m trying to watch over Aaron and Brandon.” Tebow: “I appreciate that, too, man. They’re good guys.” Brady: “[Yeah] they’re a lot to handle.”
