Tebow: Is he the Redskins solution?

[Kalisto2010]

Watching Florida play right now. Tebow has 94 yards passing against the unranked Vols. He's choosing to run the ball instead of finding an open receiver on most plays. Colt McCoy's game is better suited for the NFL. He can make all of the throws and he has excellent mobility.

This morning I heard Colt on ESPN talk about how it's his dream to play for the Dallas Cowboys. And I said to myself "To bad MF your going to the Skins b*tch, how's that for a dream".

How about the fact that Tebow was without his two best recievers for most of the game, and the starting TE and RB both had the flu, coupled with Tennessee having the #3 defense in the country for the second straight year? He chose to run the ball because they can't stop it. Take what they give you.

Ok fellow Skins fans, we are all guilty of this. I am old enough to have been alive for the last Skins Super Bowl (albeit 5 years) but we have to have some PATIENCE. That is the key word. I know that Jason has been under the magnifying glass for just over four years, but let Coach Zorn earn his paycheck. Last week was sobering, (I nearly broke the family's big screen with my Sperry boat shoe) but we have to take a deep breath and just move on. He may no be the "franchise" quaterback we had hoped when Ole Ball coach Gibbs drafted him, but he is our best shot this year and he is still a good QB. He might not be a Tom Brady, but he is still above marginal. That being said, before we crucify him and run him out of town...let's let him do his business against the teams we should (and NEED to beat over the next 3-4 weeks) and then go from there. Although it may not be against NFC East teams, 4-1 after 5 weeks in the NFL is still 4-1. We will be just fine. Let's not be doomsdayers. I will bleed burgundy and gold until the day I die. Keep the faith fellow Americans. God Bless.

Please, by that logic we could use Joakim Noah. Though I do admit I do like the kind of passion that Tebow brings to the table.

Seriously? You could use someone that is averaging 10.6ppg and 10.6rpg per 36 minutes only going into his 3rd season that has intensity. Just in case you didn't notice, and judging by your comment, you likely haven't, you had 19 wins last year. 19 WINS!!! You could use all the help you can get! Which we will need if Campbell doesn't produce.

I am really curious as to what exactly it is that makes Tebow NOT nfl ready, but other college qb's NFL ready...in particular McCoy.

Be interesting to see if the mock drafts change this week. WASH QB Locker may move into top 15. Watch for an update later this week to the NFL Mock Draft Database. Since theWarpath is the home for DCPSR, updates will come here first.

Wouldn't mind seeing CJ Spiller here.

Tebow=Heath Shuler 2.0

Don't get me wrong, he is a PHENOMENAL college player, possibly one of the Top 10 greatest college players ever, BUT, I don't see him as a 16 game starting QB in the NFL.

His main weapon in college is his body. He's as big as linebackers, as strong as linemen and as fast as a tight end. In the league, he'll be as big as safeties, as strong as corners and as fast as linemen. In other words, his advantages will be neutralized. He doesn't have the pure QB skills to run an NFL offense.

I think that sums it up nicely. I mean, the bottom line here is that "guts" and "intensity" and "IT" and even the ability to run (and I do not even see Tebow as an elite runner in the NFL) do not win games in the NFL. You have to be able to drop back, process information, and make NFL throws. Otherwise you are a back-up or, at best, some guy who can get your team by until they can find a legitimate NFL quarterback. Certainly not someone to build a franchise around.

I too am a huge florida gators fan, and have been watching Tebow since he was a freshman, and can say that for how much I like him as a player and leader, he isn't an NFL QB.

How tall is Tebow? Not what he's listed at, but in reality? That's one of those things that is exposed in the combine, so many schools have guys that are 6'3 w/4.3 speed, which in the combine is revealed as 6'0 ,4.55.

If Tebow is under 6' he's gonna have an even harder time getting a team to play him at qb. His mechanics don't look smooth for an nfl qb, but I don't know if that's enough to say he can't play qb. In recent years I think nfl coaches are more open to unconventional styles at the position. The ideal scenario for Tebow might be to play wildcat or h-back & be a 3rd string qb. Then he might eventually be a regular qb.

To answer the question of this thread, NO, he's not the solution, at least not anytime soon. But, if we draft Tebow I hope it's no earlier than in the 4th, and I think he can contribute to a team in some form. Maybe fullback is his natural position in the nfl.

But we take snaps under center a lot here in Washington..

Tebow could be the key because Campbell is definitely a huge problem. Check out my draft rankings 646-205-4328
