Re: Tebow: Is he the Redskins solution?

I'm starting to believe Tebow is the real deal. This kid has a TON of skills...sure he's not "NFL ready", but seriously...who is in terms of QB's leaving college?

Let me point out some stats:
14 tds, 12 ints, 2971 passing yards, 60% comp, 80.3 qb rating in 16 games started...
13 tds, 6 ints, 3245 passing yards, 62.3% comp, 84.3 qb rating in 16 games started...
16 tds, 11 ints, 3440 passing yards, 61.1% comp, 87.7 qb rating in 16 games started...

Do you know who belongs to those numbers?
1- Flacco
2- Campbell
3- Ryan

Ryan was the best of the bunch by most accounts, Campbell not that far behind, and Flacco pulling up the rear. Yet most would regard Campbell as a bust, or nothing special. Fact is, Ryan had one of the most prolific running games in the NFL, and Flacco had a great defense, and good overall team around him. They both had 11 wins so they got a ton of publicity...same with campbell if he had 11 wins. Point is, everyone talks about flacco and ryan like they are the second coming of well, peyton manning...they are not. Flacco is not going to be a super special qb...ryan is more like a hasselbeck type qb, which is good. Players like Ryan don't come around all the time. Players like Tebow don't either. He has the entire package including amazing elusive skills. He is a GREAT leader as well. With a little NFL coaching, Tebow could be the next Steve Young.
