tebow did great things in college, but everyone knew what they were getting with him in the NFL and his scouting report has proven to be absolutely 100% correct.

Late release=too slow for the NFL. It takes him an extra 1-2 seconds to get rid of the ball, which means defenses who pressure him will keep him from reacting. Did you see any of the passes he threw sunday? he through some wounded ducks out there LOL
Im not saying he cant be succesful, but it means molding an offense around his style of play , which traditionally in the NFL DOESNT WORK (option). Sorry. youre asking a lot for someone to retool their entire offense around 1 player.

John Elway is a pretty great judge of talent, and i dont think you can compare todays league to his era. A QB rating in 1984 isnt the same as 2011. the game is much faster paced now, much more physical, much sloppier, and its TOTALLY a passers game. QBs are way more protected now (by league and refs) than in montana and elways days.


Thats opinion. I dont know what you mean by it. But most teams dont draft based on the "rudy" scale.



I just named them/.............................

I think you meant people that were supposed to suck and then were good? Yeah thats true theres been a ton of those guys. Mediocre players in college and stuff that turned out to be great NFL players (tom Brady, although i wont say he was mediocre in college just was a bust in the nfl for 4-5 years).

Things can change, but brady had normal mechanics. he just needed a shot. tebow doesnt, his mechanics arent setup for the NFL game and its speed. If he can ADJUST then that will be great for him. but so far from whta i have watched, ive seen nothing that shows that
I agree with you. Tebow's mechanics are flawed and assuming he doesnt improve, no he cant be an NFL QB. In the NFL, 1-2 seconds added to a release is too much of a window for defenses. I understand all of that, where i disagree is that he will improve and shows enough promise for someone to believe he can improve. I dont think he will ever be Tom Brady, or at least not anytime in the near future, 10+ years from now, who knows. What i dont believe is that Tebow is going to continue working like he does and still have these flaws 3-4 years from now. It's not like Tebow is saying "im good enough now, lets go win a superbowl", his approach is "hey, i'll find a way to win some games now and in the mean time, im also working on my mechanics every day. i see what you see and im doing everything i can to fix it".

I just feel like Tebow is worth the risk.... can you imagine if Tebow became anywhere near as good as Aaron Rodgers or Brady...... He would be the biggest athlete of all time.... There's a lot of risk with Tebow, but the upside of his success is unlimited and unrivaled by probably any athlete in history. Before Tebow, people forgot the Broncos existed. Now theyre one of the hottest topics in sports news, Tebow jerseys flying off the shelves. You cant watch ESPN without hearing Tebows name. Its pretty much been that way for the last 6 years.

If i was John Elway, i would probably bite the bullet, get on TV and say "look, Tebow is our QB. Thats that, stop talking about it". Nobody is stepping in to take any of the pressure of Tebow's shoulders. He's a 24 year old guy.
