His main weapon in college is his body. He's as big as linebackers, as strong as linemen and as fast as a tight end. In the league, he'll be as big as safeties, as strong as corners and as fast as linemen. In other words, his advantages will be neutralized. He doesn't have the pure QB skills to run an NFL offense.

I think that sums it up nicely. I mean, the bottom line here is that "guts" and "intensity" and "IT" and even the ability to run (and I do not even see Tebow as an elite runner in the NFL) do not win games in the NFL. You have to be able to drop back, process information, and make NFL throws. Otherwise you are a back-up or, at best, some guy who can get your team by until they can find a legitimate NFL quarterback. Certainly not someone to build a franchise around.
