Does anyone think Tim Tebow has a career in the NFL as a QB. I do not. I think that he will be moved to full back.

Tebow is much more of a runner, and for the most part he does not have the best arm. His running skills however are top knotch

I could see that as well, the point is I do not see him playing QB do you?

He won't play QB. His release is so remedial its not even funny. For him to be such a big guy his arm is not that strong and he never takes a snap from under center so his foot work is probably garbage as well. It doesn't matter though because he will still be paid regardless.

If he wins another championship he will never have to pay for anything in the state of Florida ever and he could always work for ESPN like Jesse Palmer another Gator Failure.

Well of course he will...because he's left handed and so was Steve Young and stuff.

And you can't measure heart.

+1 Arkansas caused a fumble b/c his release is so slow, and he drops the ball to his waist.

wasn't Florida supposed to be putting in some kind of package for him to work on this? Not a good sign for Timmy if they tried and he couldn't pick it up.

I would have to seem in a pro style offense to know if he could do it. It is hard to tell from the spread option that UF runs.

I agree. Captain of the cheerleaders would be a good fit if nothing else works out for him.

He will be givin a shot at QB because the Jacksonville Jaguars said they are gonna do pretty much anything to get him in the draft so that he can fill the empty seats...so he will get a shot at it and he might be better than you think because he is pretty accurate and makes good choices and can scramble when he needs to....you dont have to be the best passer to play QB...just think mike vick...not the best passer but still won games....plus the QB coaches can work on his release..college coaches just help they QB read better

Yes he will be an NFL QB. It might take 3-4 years but he'll be ok.

where has Tebow failed at anything? I will give you a bailout and assume you're comparing Jesse Palmer to Grossman and Berlin and not Tebow.

You're welcome...

exactly he will get his chance...now if he can hold his chance and take advantage of it who knows. I think so. People said that he couldnt do what he did in highschool in the SEC. well guess what he did that. So everyone will get to wait and see. but my vote is yes he will be great one day

Why would the NFL not want a 6-2 quarterback with an average arm?

The guy is not an NFL QB. That slow wind up release would cause several fumbles similar to the one in the Arky game. DBs in the NFL actually pay attention to QB tendencies and would be able to get a great jump on the ball before it was ever released. Tebow does not compare to Vick athletically and is not as good as a passer. Vick had a rocket and ran a 4.2

He will be a failure and if Jacksonville wasn't having trouble filling the seats he would not even be drafted until the second day. You would think the Jags would know better than to draft more gators. How many gator busts can one team have. That franchise is horrible. Using draft picks as novelties is not the way to be competitive.

acctually in recent years there has only been one bust from Florida and he is only in his second year and that would be Derek Harvey...list the others??? He does compare...vick made plays with his legs and so does tebow just not in the same way...Vick was small therefore had to make people miss while tebow is big and breaks tackles and can make people miss too when people think they got him...Vick had a rocket arm but couldnt hit the broadside of a barn and he had no touch on his passes...Tebow is more accurate than vick with good arm strength and can make most throws on the feild...as for his trowing motion, it is slow but they NFL QB coaches will work on that...this man is a winner above all that and i would risk a pick on a winner anyday

Ummm...Rex Grossman? And don't say "He went to the fricking Superbowl you gump retard." Grossman is a bust. First round draft pick QBs are meant to be franchise players. Grossman isn't even in the league anymore is he?
