The intangibles/leadership/athleticism has never been in doubt. If he can improve his mechanics that much in 5 weeks, how about if he sits for a few seasons behind an established QB?

I would love for the Redskins to draft Tebow. Heck, I may even shed a tear. But taking him with the 4th pick in the 2nd round may be too high, and he won't be there in the 3rd. Plus we don't have an established QB. He's probably not a fit for us, but I'd take him over Colt McCoy in a heartbeat. Hell, if we're not drafting a day 1 starter, I'd take him over Clausen, too.

Has it really been just 5 weeks though, because I thought he was also secretly practicing the new motion last summer but struggled with it and Meyer decided to just have him go back to what he's used to?

Anyhow my concern is that once he gets into game action his muscle memory will revert him to his old mechanics and ways.

Still, I wouldn't too much weight into Tebow being brought in for a private workout. Just due diligence
