Chi_archie · 01-10-10, 12:38 AM

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.

that was directed at the guys that are saying he won't do shit in the NFL. I wouldn't spend a first round pick either.

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.

Darius Heyward Bey... Jamarcus Russell...

I would take Tebow in a heartbeat over Colt "no Mas" McCoy or Sam "my arm may not be healed" Bradford. I am not sold on either of those guys. Jevan Snead?? The kid has a cannon arm but is a loser. What QB on the board would you take above Tebow? The more I look at what's out there, the more I like Tebow.

Tebow reminds me of Big Ben. He's tough as nails and finds ways to win even if it's not pretty. Look at Vince Young, same people criticizing his throwing motion but all he does is win games. Give me a winner any day of the week.

he may be a winner, but so was ken dorsey

He could NEVER be a RunningBack....And being a wildcat qb doesnt count as an Rb......Simple reasons...1. he's white......2. HES WHITE.......If you have ever watched him run hes not fast enough to be a speed back, and hes not even close to being a power back.......He would get mashed being a fullback

Dont let massive offensive lines and weak college matchups fool you.....Also, the guy throws worse than vick did coming out of college.........Vick was inaccurate, overrated, and awful but could throw it 70 yards on his backfoot......Long balls always look pretty ask Ryan Leaf.......

Tebow's just gonna come in overvalued due to the phantom importance of having a wildcat guy in the backfield.......

Been thinking about this Tim Tebow situation for a while. First I had to figure out where he would fit. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Oakland, Washington, Carolina, Tampa, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Seattle could all use a QB. The only places I think that could take him in round #1 are Jacksonville, Oakland, and Washington. Jacksonville has crossed the line from focus of getting wins to putting buts in the seats. Tebow, obviously would do that. Oakland and Washington are just two crazy owners who like the flashy names and both could use a QB. I don't see him going anywhere in round #1. I think Jacksonville reaches and takes him in round 2.

I would not be shocked if he gets drafted in the first round. He is a great leader and a decent person. I sure want him to do well in the next level no matter what he does. I think he would be a very good fit for Miami or Jacksonville or even Tampa Bay.

Let's just see

Tebow was a great college player and DESERVES a chance in the NFL.He actually won plenty of games with his arm,legs,and most important for a qb,he won with knowledge of the game.Sorry fellas, I am not a Tebow fan,but COME ON MAN!!

marabdl86 · 01-10-10, 09:17 AM

Lets just say Tim tebow will do more in the league than Colt Mccoy and Bradford

Not only is he going to be a QB in the league but he's going to be one of the best when it's all said and done

There's a reason you all are coaching from the couch

Tebow a RB,

TE

BarkingToad · 01-13-10, 09:47 PM

Tebow is really tough and has a lot of heart. That could go a long way, plus he works hard. He's probably as good as a dozen bottom rung NFL starters right now. Even if he's not a prototypical QB, he's certainly much more durable than McCoy or Bradford. A team like Arizona should try to trade Leinart for a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick, then try to get Tebow with it hoping he can learn from a hall of famer.

Both Jon Gruden and Bob Griese have said he will make a good pro. I respect Chucky's opinion.

Terrapin Station · 01-13-10, 10:03 PM

jacksonville will take him...mark it.

harlee71 · 01-13-10, 10:10 PM

Tim Tebow= Matt Jones minus the coke habbit and arrests. He will fit in some teams plans somewhere, but there is no way this guy goes in the first round and maybe not the second.

DOMINATER · 01-13-10, 11:04 PM

I win your money, I LIKE TEBOW a real lot he is a winner and motivator HE'S DEEPLY RELGIOUS, he is unlike all the garbage around today, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM, HE WILL GO IN THE FIRST ROUND for all those reasons, and who am I TO SAYthat a G.m. MAY ATTEMPT TO PLAY HIM THERE at q .b. FOR HIS LEADERSHIP SKILLS , BUT I GURANTEE YOU THIS he is very unorthodox ,his delivery is arkward and his arm to weak for the pros. THAT doesn't mean they may try to play him there and change his style who knows , but he will never be a traditional quarterback drop back 3or 5 steps and throw rolling out to the right and letting it go 40 yds down field for a touchdown on the left side.

NorCal · 01-15-10, 10:02 AM

Wow there are really 6 GM's that are that stupid. I loved watching him at UF, a ture stud, but his game is physicality and toughness as a QB. That worked in college because he was bigger and faster than most of the defense but trying to bang your way through the line in the NFL when there is 9 in the box because you are not a threat to throw deep spells a REAL SHORT career in the NFL for a QB.
