Tim Tebow To Cowboys? Tony Romo Injury Makes Twitter Go Nuts With Idea
Is it Tebow Time in Big D?
Tim Tebow couldn’t land a job with the Philadelphia Eagles despite a few preseason highlights, but some Dallas Cowboys fans immediately turned their attention to the polarizing quarterback Sunday after Tony Romo suffered an injury that’s expected to sideline him for eight to 10 weeks.
Perhaps the most notable Tebow supporter: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
Bittersweet victory for @Cowboys. Win game but lose @TonyRomo. Maybe Dallas will sign @TimTebow. #NFL.

It’s unclear whether the Cowboys have any interest whatsoever in Tebow. They could just roll with Brandon Weeden — not the best option, but whatever — and hope Romo comes back in time for a playoff push. They also could consider other free-agent quarterbacks and/or trade targets.
But that’s no fun. Tebow remains a popular guy, for whatever reason, and him quarterbacking Jerry Jones’ squad definitely would make for good theater, if nothing else.
Don’t believe me? Check Twitter.

Cowboys gotta sign Tim Tebow.

I think we’re all in agreement, the Cowboys only have one option right now — TEBOW.

If the Cowboys sign Tim Tebow, I'd cheer for the Cowboys for the first time in my life!

Yes, Stephen Jones said the #Cowboys would consider Tim Tebow. No, I don't think he was remotely serious.

To be fair, not everyone’s sold on the idea.
The Governor of The State of Texas wants The Cowboys to sign Tim Tebow. This is why Politics and football should not mix

Please stop linking Tim Tebow and RG3 to Dallas for an injured Tony Romo. The Cowboys need a quarterback not a circus

If you legitimately want the Cowboys to sign Tim Tebow your football watching rights should be revoked
— brandon (@BrandonMH1) September 20, 2015
Because the Cowboys like QBs who can throw an NFL regulation sized football. That's my 1 Tebow reply for the day. https://t.co/HzTXBjR11p

If I get one more person tells me that the #Cowboys should sign Tim Tebow or trade for RGIII, I'm going to lose it!
