Tim Tebow cut by Eagles before regular season

Tim Tebow cut by Eagles before regular season

 8974 470 4LINKEDIN 142COMMENTMORE
Two full seasons after he last appeared in a meaningful NFL game, Tim Tebow's playing career is back on hold.
Tebow was among the Philadelphia Eagles' final cuts to their 53-man roster Saturday, placing the quarterback back on a market that has been reticent to give him a chance.
Eagles coach Chip Kelly elected to keep two quarterbacks - Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez - but said he plans to bring on a third. Matt Barkley, a fourth-round pick in 2013, was traded Friday to the Arizona Cardinals.
“We felt Tim has progressed, but we didn’t feel he was good enough to be the (No.) 3 right now,” Kelly said.
An NFL team still could sign Tebow after teams set their 53-man rosters, but it's unclear whether there's any interest in the signal-caller.
Tebow was inconsistent throughout the preseason after reworking his oft-criticized throwing motion with former MLB pitcher Tom House. In four games of limited action against backups, he completed 58.6% of his passes.
“He really improved his throwing motion from when he was throwing a couple of years ago,” Kelly said. “He worked extremely hard on it and deserves a lot of credit for that. I talked to him a little earlier (Saturday) when we released him.
“He just needs to get more playing time. Get out there and get actual reps. Because he has done a ton on his own from an individual basis, but it is about taking that next step and playing (in) the game.”
Tebow's last shot in the NFL ended at the same stage, with the New England Patriotscutting him in 2013 before the regular season. Unable to land another job in the NFL in 2013, Tebow worked as a college football analyst for ESPN in 2014.

Either the Lord has another team or another career. I know where Tim's confidence still lies.

"I Am Releasing the WHISTLE BLOWERS Throughout the Earth!" Steve Shultz

August 25, 2015 - Important Repost from April 2, 2015: 
"I Am Releasing the WHISTLE BLOWERS
 Throughout the Earth!"
Steve Shultz, Albany, OR

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:

In light of many recent events in the media and news, some of our readers have written to me about this prophetic vision and word I posted on April 2, 2015 about God releasing "Whistle Blowers" throughout the earth... and as you can all see, it's been happening, BIG TIME!

Because of that, some have written to me asking if I would re-release (or repost on Facebook) this word because it's been coming true in a big way, even in recent days!

We are in a season of seeing more and more whistle blowers... and hidden things all over the earth have been or are about to be revealed.

Many of our readers know that I am a grace-filled messenger and I continually talk about God's amazing, life-giving GRACE.... and for that reason I believe He is giving a message to the Church at large about this as I share in this word:

"...He is going to release the whistle blowers, first a few at a time and then more, and finally a massive release of whistle blowers will be released on the earth, such that the hidden corruption many are playing with – "FROM THE AVERAGE HOUSE to the CHURCH HOUSE, from the STATE HOUSE to the WHITE HOUSE" – will be revealed to all.

"...this is a good time for EACH OF US to walk circumspectly, living a life of repentance, being faithful in the small things..."

I encourage all of us to read this word again and ask the Lord if there are any areas in our own lives that need a healing/transformation, etc.

Enjoy! And thanks for forwarding this to your friends! They can subscribe just below...

Important Repost: "I Am Releasing the WHISTLE BLOWERS Throughout the Earth!"
Steve Shultz, Albany, OR

Prophetic word previously posted on April 2, 2015:

This week (in a vision), I saw a football field that looked more like a college field with the bleachers on only one side of the field. Both teams were playing on the "Left" and the "Right."

As the teams played, all seemed normal. From time to time, the refs would throw down a penalty flag, as one team or the other was caught in an infraction of both the letter and spirit of the rules. The crowd watching had no inkling that much more was going on, which was "illegal or improper" within the game – but the refs would only call the normal or rare penalty.

On the opposite side of the field was a large rectangular, plain brown building, with no apparent reason for it being there. Suddenly the door was quickly opened, and a man in a business suit and a nicely dressed woman came running out onto the field during the game. Each threw a penalty flag down and blew a loud whistle. The field refs were confused, as was the crowd. These "trespassers" were ushered off the field by security and the game proceeded.

Suddenly a large door opened in the same brown building and 4-5 people, dressed in various ways, from a plumber and a baker to a doctor and a nurse, ran out on the field in the middle of the game, throwing down penalty flags and all blowing whistles at the same time.

Finally, they too were cleared and the game continued one last time until suddenly, multiple doors were flung open from the brown building and hundreds and hundreds of men, women and children ran onto the field, throwing down penalty flags and blowing whistles. The sound was deafening. The game had been overwhelmed and had to be cancelled.

The official refs were left clueless as to what to do. Their day was finished as well. Their own GAME WAS OVER!

WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING:

I heard the Spirit say, "I AM releasing the WHISTLE BLOWERS throughout the earth! Prepare, for everything hidden will be revealed!"

Then the Spirit began to lay out God's plan:
He is going to release the whistle blowers, first a few at a time and then more, and finally a massive release of whistle blowers will be released on the earth, such that the hidden corruption many are playing with – "FROM THE AVERAGE HOUSE to the CHURCH HOUSE, from the STATE HOUSE to the WHITE HOUSE" – will be revealed to all.

I knew in my spirit that since the Whistle Blowers are being released, this is a good time for EACH OF US to walk circumspectly, living a life of repentance, being faithful in the small things, because God is about to BLOW HIS WHISTLE and RELEASE THE WHISTLE BLOWERS – and END THIS GAME.

Tim Tebow's career post-college has been lackluster at best, but a new video has commentators wondering if his professional role is divine intervention. 
Tebow now works out with the Philadelphia Eagles, though his spot is not guaranteed after a one-year deal.
When a fight broke out on the field, Tebow stepped in, and the two sides parted like the Red Sea, according to a tweet from Bleachers Michael Tanier.

This Heisman Trophy Winner Is All in for Jesus Christ - Marcus Mariota

This Heisman Trophy Winner Is All in for Jesus Christ - Marcus Mariota

Before his Heisman Award-winning season, The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) had a chance to sit down with Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, the Oregon Ducks quarterback who has been a Heisman favorite all season long.
Mariota, who was introduced to FCA while in high school and became more involved in college, said that he strives to go "all in" for Christ and his team.
"All of us at FCA couldn't be happier for Marcus Mariota," said Les Steckel, President and CEO for FCA, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. "Marcus is a force on the football field and a force for Jesus Christ. His passion for the game matches his passion for his convictions, and it is wonderful to see him live out his faith both on and off the field. He is certainly an inspiration for many young athletes."
It's been a memorable month for Mariota. Earlier this month, he graduated from the University of Oregon with a general science degree, and on Dec. 13, he won the Heisman. Mariota is the first Oregon Duck and Hawaii-born athlete to win the Heisman, and he captured more than 88 percent of the first-place votes, receiving the second-highest percentage of possible points (90.92) in Heisman history, according to ESPN.
Mariota and his teammates are gearing up to make their Rose Bowl appearance on New Year's Day against the Florida State Seminoles in Pasadena, California, at 5 p.m. on ESPN. But Mariota says it's not the numbers or the big games that dictate his play on the field, but his Savior—Jesus Christ.
"Being a football player, faith plays a huge role," Mariota told FCA Magazine. "When things start to get rough, you find comfort in your faith. Knowing that no matter what, you can dust yourself off and be OK. And you know you do it for [God's] glory. You do it for your teammates, your family, but also for His glory and to represent His name.
"Going 'all in' for God is glorifying Him with the abilities He's given us and shining our light for Him," he said. "I think as an athlete when you're able to go out there and have the abilities that the Lord has blessed you with, you want to glorify Him. You want to go out there to represent Him in the right light. To represent your family in the right light and to do that through His power."
And he added that his belief and trust in God helped him persevere through the tough times.
"Going through the challenges of the season, my faith has been the steadying force that's pushed me, along with my family, my friends and my teammates," Mariota said. "Losing—especially here [at Oregon]—is tough. We have high expectations as a program to go and win national championships. It's a huge pressure, but you learn a lot about yourself through it. Coach [Scott] Frost has helped me learn that football doesn't define me. It's just what I do. That was a huge life lesson for me. I really took that and ran with it. My faith is what keeps me going and I can always grow in that.
"I've learned that no matter what, my faith will guide me," Mariota continued. "However I play on the field, I know my faith will guide me. After sports, my faith will guide me. As I've grown in my faith, that's something that's given me comfort. God has taught me that I can trust in Him. No matter what—whether things are good or bad—I know I can always trust in Him. And that has really allowed me to go 'all in' for Him."
