He had terrible mechanics when it came to throwing a football, plus his football IQ wasn't great to begin with. He basically got by on his athletic talent plus when he was in college, the schemes were designed to mask his limitations.
If Sam Bradford stays healthy, he'll be very successful in Chip Kelly's offense. I would be surprised if Tebow even remains on the roster. Mark Sanchez is the backup, with Matt Barkley was the 3rd QB last year and I don't think much changes there. But, the one thing in reading about Chip Kelly is you never know what he's going to do and he's not afraid to experiment.
(Disclaimer - not an Eagles fan). It should be interesting to see what happens. I wonder what you Eagles fans here think about this.

I think there's many factors that come into play as to why nobody wants to pick him up.
1. He doesn't have a high football IQ in that he only functions in a limited offense that is easy to gameplan for. Look at the games he played against New England the year he was with the Broncos. He'd have some success early in the game but the Patriot's defense adjusted to him very quickly and essentially rendered him a non-factor very quickly.
2. Yes, while he did win a playoff game, he won on a fluky play against a much better team. He was lucky to beat Pittsburgh, and that was evident the following week when the Pats dismantled the Broncos.
3. The circus that he brings to a team. Mind you, it's not the kind of circus that others can bring to a team in that he is a good guy and cares for his teammates and does put forth a positive image as to how a professional athlete should carry himself.
4. NFL defenses have essentially solved him. The read option offense can really only be successful with a quarterback that is accurate and can solve the complex schemes that he faces. He hasn't demonstrated either at all in the NFL.
It's too bad really because there are so many pro athletes that set such a terrible example as far as personal conduct goes, and Tebow is the opposite of that. But, he doesn't have the acumen or the fundamental tools to be an NFL quarterback.
