He more than likely won't play QB in the NFL

Well, I agree he may be a bit cumbersome for the small forward position :-) - are you suggesting tight end?

I think he will be either a TE or a pass catching full back. I do, however, think that the return of the single wing (wild cat) may find him a spot on an NFL roster as a "Quarterback." He could end up being a lot like Pat White, drafted to play run the wild cat/emergency qb spot and find a way to prove himself.

My biggest problem with him isn't that he can't throw. He's not overly accurate, but that's not as much of a headache as his need to be a power runner. Guys are bigger in the NFL and that's a good way to get injured if you're not big enough to take the kind of beating that would be required of a power back. I'm afraid if someone selects Tebow to play Q, they'll spend much of their time wondering how his throwing shoulder gave out so early.

Not to be argumentative, but I'm not sure "power running" is a necessity at the QB position; his rushing numbers aren't too shabby (after 3 years, 475 attempts - 2,037 yards - 43 TD's). And at 6'3", 245, he's not exactly a welterweight. I think he can take a hit or two....

That's not what I was saying. I was saying that Tim Tebow acts as if he has to be a power runner and that's not a good thing. Regardless of his build, I don't think Tim Tebow could continue to run the way he does in the NFL and stay healthy.

Tebow will take far too many clean hits in the NFL because he's not particularly shifty and I think that will prevent him from staying healthy.

Florida QB's don't make good pro Qb's anyway.

WOW! nice way to paint such a broad stroke there man. So in the next 100 yrs nomatter what happens a UF QB will fail just because the ones to this point have? ND gave us Joe Montana, doesnt mean that it churns out great QB's each 3-4 yrs. Emmitt Smith came from UF,doesnt mean every RB that comes out of Florida will be a HOFer. Im not sayin Tebow will be great,but to say a player at a position will be a NFL bust because of where he came from is wrong.

Tebow has NO CHANCE at being an NFL QB. None. He'd be a good guy to have on your team though. He could be a utility player and help out on teams, h-back, TE and maybe some wildcat.

That's kind of what I was getting at. I was just saying that his passing, IMO, isn't the greater concern. Tebow seems to take pride in being a power runner and that'll get him killed in the NFL.

He can be a white Randel El.
