Didinger: 'I'm A Tim Tebow Fan'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- One of the most polarizing figures in sports, Tim Tebow, received a vote of confidence from the most respected Eagles analyst there is, Ray Didinger.
One Monday morning, Didinger talked to Angelo Cataldi about the Eagles' reported signing of Tebow.
"I am a Tim Tebow fan," Didinger said Monday on the 94WIP Morning Show. "I think he is a terrific kid and I think he's gonna go down as one of the great---regardless of what happens here---he's gonna go down as one of the greatest college football players of all-time, there's no doubt about that."

So Didinger must think Tebow has a shot to be successful under Chip Kelly, right? Well, not quite.
"But, this idea you're going to transform him and improve his mechanics, and take a guy that was a very inaccurate, inefficient passer, I just don't know that that works.
"In Tim's case when it comes to throwing habits, it's usually a lot of bad habits."
Overall, while Didinger admitted he was surprised, he's OK with bringing Tebow to Philly.
"I kind of view it as---what do you got to lose?" Didinger said. "I don't think that he's gonna be a huge difference maker for this team, but he's a very low risk signing."
