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

[MTK]

Tebow is not better than any starting NFL QB right now. He doesn't even have the basic fundamentals of footwork down and he's not up to speed with reading NFL defenses.

This Tebow man crush continues to amaze me.

What are you saying then? Rookie quarterbacks have started many times for teams, especially recently. After a full offseason workout and training camps are you suggesting they don't get themselves ready for the speed of NFL defenses? Forget the fundamentals and footwork he's learning, the second he starts in the NFL he'll go back to his college instincts and pass the ball better than all those guys I mentioned.

I would rather see Tebow start the next 2 years than have Marc Bulger or Jake Delhomme on my team.

I do not think we should draft Tebow, but I'm just saying everyone is forgetting that this guy will be a "decent" NFL quarterback and nothing more. That's why he's out of the first round discussion because in the first round you try to strike the next Peyton Manning

The question was who is Tebow better than right now.

If you plugged him into an NFL game right now, Tebow would simply be overmatched on a variety of levels. There's no way he's better than any starting QB or even backup right now, and he probably won't be until he's sat on a bench for a year or so.

Yes but right now is irrelevant. If any team drafted him he'd go through a full training camp so why ask that?
I don't think that Dez Bryant would be better than ARE right now. Why? because he needs to atleast go through training camp to get his routes down. Man I don't think Russell Okung is better than any LT/RT we have right now..

I didn't ask the question, I merely answered it as it was asked.

I have to disagree with the statement that it is irrelevant. As an organization you draft to upgrade a position why would we draft Okung if he is not more talented than Heyer. Which he is right now by the way. Tebow is not more talented than Chris Leak which i believe isn't in the league anymore. So why draft him even in the 6th round why?

Ya I guess you broke that down a little bit better, but at the same time it depends on the position. I guess at LT Okung is better you're right, but no way in hell is Tebow worse than Colt Brennan I mean come on.

And you must have missed me saying more than once "I do not want te Redskins to draft him", doesn't mean I don't think he'll make a decent starter someday.

I've never seen someone with so little NFL potential get so much hype. Simply amazing.

You don't see one of the greatest college football players of all times game not translate to the pros though do you? Well maybe that's wrong, but still he deserves every second of it I think.

No doubt. He's a major question and the talk of him going in the late first to second baffles the hell out of me. I'd be higher on most of the 2nd tier QBs.. to me he's 3rd tier.
