Just saw: 6 NFL gms said they will take tebow 1at round

DrStale · 01-09-10, 07:44 PM

6 GM's that should be out of a job.

Domestic · 01-09-10, 07:45 PM

Everyone seems to hate Tim Tebow around here.

MartinBlank · 01-09-10, 07:46 PM

There is no way in all that is holy that Tebow will go in the first round.

pavyracer · 01-09-10, 07:46 PM

Did they say they will draft him as a QB or as a RB? Big difference.

if you get drafted you get drafted Pavy....

From espn.com

Tebow will play quarterback for the South team, which will be coached by the Miami Dolphins' staff.

The Senior Bowl is closely scrutinized by personnel directors and coaches from all 32 NFL teams. Tebow has received a wide range of conflicting evaluations for his potential as an NFL quarterback. Even though many personnel men have told ESPN he will struggle in the league if he plays quarterback, at least a half-dozen general managers or coaches say he not only will be successful as a pro quarterback, but also is likely to be chosen in the first round.

Chi_archie · 01-09-10, 07:52 PM

Tebow wants to take a shot at QB, but he has said.....and he's the kinda guy that will do ANYTHING to help his team.....

gm's love his intangibles....

draft for talent only.... you get guys like Leaf, Mandarich, lawrence phillips, Bosworth, Marinavich...

clonecat · 01-09-10, 07:52 PM

Jacksonville should draft him just to fill a few seats.

The only way he is getting drafted in first round is for another position. No one wants another Jamarcus Russell on their team.

LLXC · 01-09-10, 07:57 PM

podunk · 01-09-10, 07:58 PM

he'll be a jaguar

tullamore · 01-09-10, 07:59 PM

The guy is a winner.

Many people involved with college football, said he is the greatest leader they have seen.

I can't stand the guy, but some team will be able to use his skill set in the NFL.

again if you get drafted first round.... you get drafted...and you get first round $

Tebow has already said he'll play wherever

what's the issue

DrStale · 01-09-10, 08:01 PM

There's a difference between him finding a way to contribute to an NFL team and him being drafted in the first round. Taking him that early is lunacy.

BestPlay2day · 01-09-10, 08:40 PM

I think Jacksonville will take Tebow in the 2nd round. Notice those 6 gms that they think he will likely be taken in the 1st round, not that they would take him in the 1st round. He's a great athlete and a great kid, but not a starting NFL qb. Seems like the type of person you want on your team and he will work hard and just might make it. Otherwise he's someone that should go in the 3rd round, but he won't get past Jacksonville in the 2nd just to sell some tickets.

Chi_archie · 01-09-10, 08:41 PM

who are these 6 gms?

Good point. Six GM's could all believe that JAX will take him in the 1st round.

Jimmy0607 · 01-09-10, 08:43 PM

All you fukks acting like NFL scouts

TobiasFunke · 01-09-10, 08:47 PM

Yeah I'd bet that the Jags take him in the 1st round

The Seer · 01-09-10, 08:49 PM

what nobody is seeing is that on a 53 man roster he would be very valuable. He could play H back, FB, RB, TE, and back up QB as wellas being a "locker room" guy

Not to mention the revenue he would bring in from jersey/apparel sales...

jjgold would love to be in that locker room after a hot shower to be with the guy.

Chi_archie · 01-09-10, 09:06 PM

don't forget special teams..... ultimately I've been saying for over a year. Tebow would make a great TE in the NFL in 2 years...... He'll be a fierce blocker, once he learns all the footwork and schemes. and his hands will catch a td or two. Give him 2 years of eating and lifting and he'll be a monster

snapstick · 01-09-10, 09:10 PM

Who cares, i mean really

ZBOIZ · 01-09-10, 09:11 PM

He seems like a Miami dolphins product

DrStale · 01-09-10, 09:21 PM

Smartest thing Zboiz has ever said.

Chi_archie · 01-09-10, 09:22 PM

dolphins already have a mobile QB in training

tbonmusikman · 01-09-10, 09:25 PM

Great TE prospect plus ability for wildcat that doesn't just run, interesting combination to me-but then again, I am a Gator fan.

PeePee · 01-10-10, 12:17 AM

Take that for a grain of salt... especially from GMs who are notorious for lying to mislead other teams. When was the last time you had seen a 3rd or 4th round prospect drafted in first round? They all do that before draft day to give out misleading info to their competitors. It's a dirty business and understandingly so.

I don't think Tebow in the first round would be mistake by any team. I feel like everyone should want a player with an unique set of skills that can be used effectively at several different positions. And then there's his intangibles!

I agree with this. However you don't spend a first round pick on a guy that could be a potential TE which might be his best fit in the NFL or a backup qb. 3rd round yes, but not 1st.
