Brian Baldinger on Tim Tebow: 'He's not playing well.'

By Charmaine Montes, Christian Post Contributor Sunday, August 30, 2015

The preseason games are over and the Philadelphia Eagles' victories over the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens are the talk of the town. But other than that, the one that is present in conversations is Tim Tebow and his mediocre play, according to NJ.com.

Tebow's play also didn't impress NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger who delivered a harsh review for the football quarterback. He said on 97.5 FM The Fanatic's morning show with Jon Marks and Eytan Shander, "He's not playing well. Let's face it. He's not seeing the field well. Obviously, he's a crowd favorite."

Coach Chip Kelly also said that Tebow missed a few throws during Saturday night's preseason win over the Raven. He shared that even Matt Barkley didn't put up a polished game the same way he did in the first preseason game. As for Kelly, the performance of both players during the game against Ravens in Week 2 was best categorized as "up and down." The two are competing for the Eagles' third quarterback job.

NJ.com revealed the athletes' game play through the two preseason games. Tebow is 8-of-17 for 82 yards passing with three sacks. In the preseason opener, he connected on 6 of 12 passes for 69 yards with 15 yards on the ground, including a seven-yard rushing touchdown. Barkley, on the other hand, is 18-of-34 for 278 yards with one interception and one sack. Pro Football Talk noted that Barkley seemed more comfortable throwing the football than Tebow.

However, according to a report, Kelly had become "increasingly excited" with Tebow. He divulged that he may have great plans for him in short yardage and two-point conversion situations. Fans will find out later on who makes it to the list as the Eagles are forced to cut down the roster. Many doubted Tim Tebow's chances of making it to the Philadelphia Eagles, but contrary to the popular belief, there are reports that say that he may make the team's final roster.
