Around the NFL-Draft News & Rumors

I agree. It might be too late for him to switch now, though. If he had less hubris and more brains, he would have made the switch to H-back when it was suggested to him before his draft.

The meek will inherit the tight end position.

Why? He took the Broncos to the playoffs and won a playoff game as a QB.

Of course he's leaving town when Peyton Manning comes in.

He had his run a a QB. He should not be faulted for playing his position when a team gives him a chance. Now that his demand as a QB is gone, it's NOW time to switch if he wants to stay in the league, but I don't blame him for being the Broncos' QB while he had the chance.

I guess the question is about his position. IMO his NFL position is H-back, not QB. If he had started his NFL career as an H-back, he would already have an established career.

Instead he wanted to be a QB, Denver was foolish enough to give him a shot at QB, and now he has little to show for his career so far and likely has to reinvent himself. In the meantime the clock is ticking on his career, which in the NFL is always relatively short.

The problem with all of this is that had he announced before he was drafted that he was going to be a TE, he would have been drafted later than the first. He wouldnt have been in all the commercials. He wouldnt have had the cult following that he has.

Im sure a lot of people would take a 3 year career that earned possibly 10's of millions over a 10 year career that earned 5 mil and brain damage.

Im still confused why people assume Tebow would be a difference maker at TE. He would probably be average at best. Can he even catch? or block?
