Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

Colt McCoy.....holds collegiate record in career victories, the focal point of the offense and universally recognized as THE team leader.

Tim Tebow.....2 National Championships, 1 Heisman Trophy (3 time finalist), the focal point of the offense and universally recognized as THE team leader.


Either way we go our franchise will have THE team leader for the next 15 years. Log it!

Tebow has never lost a sock.

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

I don't believe either one of these guys could can get it done in the NFL. So I didn't vote for either one.

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

I mentioned this before but if the Skins draft Tebow it will divde this board big time. Look at the voting. you will have to make an avatar of Punchy wearing the number 15.

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

I'm not sure we could draft someone that the board will be 100% behind. Every player seems to have their share of supporters and doubters.

[quote=GusFrerotte;679653]Still think folks are too enamored with these guys. All, but Clausen come from big time programs, stacked with talent, that take on average to below average opponents 90% of the time. When the hype machine is working on overtime for a player, I think the red flags need to automatically come out with recent draft history as our guide. THe only hyped up QBs during the draft in say the last what 10-15 years to produce a Lombardi both were named Manning. McNabb came close, but no cigar. Still, my point is the percentage of these overhyped college QBs making it isn't so hot. You mean to tell me all of a sudden at his pro day Tebow improved his mechanics? Bradford looked like a god at his? Sorry folks, I do watch college football. Tebow looks more like a game manager than a real QB when I watched him in the big games, and that is what he will be facing just about every week in the NFL in the age of parity. Bradford is the only one that has a real good shot at franchise status, but he too benefitted from playing on a stacked team in a conference that had a down year overall(TX ran away with it) and not known for solid defensive play. As for Clausen, he did play on a decent team, that underachieved, and ND kindly declined the bowl bid(the honorable thing to do). If anybody wants Clausen, might as well look at Lefevour, Stull, Kafka, Crompton, etc. I mean seriously. Shuler was the #1 stud and we got Frerotte in the seventh. Who ended up being the starter and making the pro bowl? Limiting ourselves to just the QBs that garner the headlines because they are on bigtime programs is absurd and can hurt us in the quest for a true franchise QB.[/quote]
One of the most knowledgeable comments I've seen on this board regarding Tebow, McCoy and Bradford. I have to disagree about Clausen. The defenses that ND had while he was there were horrible, they could never stop anyone, it was pathetic. In my opinion, I think he is the most NFL ready QB coming out this year, without a doubt. If he gets picked up by a team that has some talent (Redskins), he will do very well.

Oh but Tebow is special.

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

If we draft Tebow before the 5th round, I will lose all respect that I have gained so far this off season for our front office. The guy is a 3 yr project!!!! He is NOT an NFL QB!!!

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

I wouldnt really want either of these QBs but if I have to pick I take McCoy. He's more of a pro-style QB while TT is a college style QB that I dont think has the accuracy needed to succeed in the pros.

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

[quote=FRPLG;679523]Since I don't think Tebow is ever going to be a NFL QB I'll go with McCoy.[/quote]
Ditto.

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

[quote=GusFrerotte;679669]We should keep JC through 2011 and draft Mallet or Keenum from Houston since we have a nice down the field system in the works with Kyle.[/quote]
that's what I'm talking about Ryan Mallett should be who we are targeting next year, and build the line this year..

Agreed. And being a Florida alum and HUGE fan, I obviously have my Tebow biases. I do have my doubts about him though. I've maintained all along that he needs to sit for at least one season, probably two before he's ready to play pro ball.

As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, Tebow is less of a risk than a guy like McCoy because of his athleticism. He's big, fast, very strong, and has a 38 inch vertical. Even if he doesn't work out at QB, he can still be a good HB, special teamer, and wildcat player. If any of the other top QB prospects bust, they are destined to be nothing more than a clipboard holder, or out of the league all together.

[quote=Mattyk;679759]I'm not sure we could draft someone that the board will be 100% behind. Every player seems to have their share of supporters and doubters.[/quote]I think Okung or Suh would be close to 100% in approval. But after that, someone is always going to hate the pick.

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

Neither! Colt McCoy won't have an impact till atleast 2012 (I would say much later) and Tim Tebow will not fall to us. I just read something online saying that the Saints were considering Tebow with their low 1st. That makes sense seeing they have no QB worries for the next few years so why not?

Re: Tebow or McCoy?
 

Tebow even does wedding engagements, the guy has talent!
