Tebow - More Upside than Downside for a franchise......

[SirClintonPortis]

The amount of utility the QB provides to the team is not infinite and is not unaffected by the dudes around him.

And besides, who would make a big transaction without some sort of insurance? Having an LT is a good insurance policy for a QB, especially one that's commanding top 4 money.

I like Tebow in alot of was and do think that his intangibles will make him sucessful. Regardless of what analyst (and us fans) think, it's impossible to measure how much a guy wants it. If you get a guy who is willing to give up his life (in a work ethic sense) to achieve something, I'll bet on that guy every time.

However, we are not taking him 4th overall and I doubt he falls to us when we pick in the 2nd round. I hope, and believe, that Tebow will have success at the NFL level if he goes to the right situation.

That being said, I would love to get the winningest QB in college history with our 2nd round pick.....Colt McCoy.

I don't have a good opinion on Tebow, but I would get a Tebow type later in the draft if our O-line issues are not addressed. Our o-line as it stands will have JC running for his life! If the Skins take anything other than tackle in the draft then the season will be doomed to repeat itself with a new learning curve for the defense. I would see another 4-12 year ahead under that scenario.

I also don't have a good feeling on any of the other QB's either! They are either to brittle and thin or arm strength is suspect.

Washington has had a tradition of winning with the second tier QB!!!! Check the super bowls! If our line is strong the skins have a strong record!

my opinion

then again, pat white got drafted in the 2nd, so it's feasible to say that somebody could reach for him

It could be argued he was a "scheme fit" for Miami's wildcat, so he was higher on their boards than others. Alas, who knows who would've been taken if the Skins didn't hand Miami that 2nd round pick in the first place.

very true, good points

I'm still on the Colt McCoy bandwagon. Good value in the 2nd round if we can get him. I see him as a more mobile Chad Pennington. Chad doesn't have a cannon either but I"ll take a guy that's making the right reads and hitting people in stride over a 'gunslinger' any day.
