Tebow intrigues me. I hated Florida and Tebow because they were good. They drove me nuts. But Tebow is a strong guy that is tough to bring down...a lot like Roethlisbuger. If Tebow develops the ability to read NFL defenses successfully and overcomes the hurdles of transitioning to the pro game, he would have a ton of upside. One of few things I hold against Clausen and Bradford is they are kind of skinny and in the case of Bradford, injury prone.
I would not be upset if the Skins take Tebow. Just a hunch that he will work extra hard to become a good pro. Tebow seems well liked by his teammates and appears to be a good leader.
Yes, Tebow will take a year or two to possibly/maybe be great in the NFL. The Redskins are not going to the Sb next year. Our team is two to three years away from possibly being a Sb contender. Given these facts, arguing that that any rookie QB we take has to be NFL ready for 2010-2011 season is pointless and not realistic regardless of which QB we take, especially with the OLine issues we have.
