Tebow: Is he the Redskins solution?

Redskin Warrior · 09-16-2009, 08:05 PM

Tebow will never be be a NFL QB he might be a NFL TE or FB but not a QB. Why do you think he stayed another year no one had him higher than a 5th round draft pick last year. People kill me with that JC isn't the solution but name scrubs like Tebow and claim they will be. If ARE wasn't capable of being a NFL QB why or will Tebow?

To me if the worst were to happen and JC and Zorny go you basically have no other choice, but to allow the new HC to make the QB decision. No disrespect to Brennan, but what occurred this preseason doesn't bode well for his NFL future. You are going to have The Danny get his NFL coach in Shanny, Cowher, or Billick, and I do not see them really using Brennan for anything other than an emergency backup. Don't drink the Koolaid with Brennan. THe rest of the NFL did not see Brennan worthwhile picking up and we gambled on a potential steal. I don't see the kid ever being a starter, nor Chase Daniel unfortunately, who I thought seemed more poised than Colt. AS for Tebow being NFL caliber? Who knows, but recent history of Univ of Florida QB's in the NFL is not a good one. Do we draft a QB? Yes, if we lose Zorn and/or JC we have no choice. Collins might retire after this season or be put out to stud. The new HC might not deem the Brennan project worthwhile. JC is the only one that I think is going to be on good footing with a new HC. He has the tools and if used properly can kick ass, but that will be for the new HC to decide. If we do decide on a new QB, we don't get the sexy pick, we make our scout team work their asses off. The sexy pick QB's as of late don't seem to really pan out. Look at Brady, Big Ben, and now Flacco and Ryan. Good solid QB's at good solid Div IA programs, but were not the "sexy" picks of their respective classes, but were bigtime winners nonetheless.

I love Tebow, and this video isn't very accurate at all...nobody was ever criticizing his accuracy or ability to throw the deep ball with accuracy for that matter...they are just saying his mechanics are too slow. As in, he loads up his whole body to throw a ball and it's pretty obvious. Florida has the WR's to burn everybody so bad they make him look good. but i'm a gator fan, and i'd want him as a skin in a cocaine heartbeat just for his

This thread is freakin awful. Tim Tebow? This is so stupid I can't even respond.

Dirtbag59 · 09-16-2009, 09:14 PM

Does anyone know where Tebow is going to actually end up in terms of the draft? I keep on hearing anywhere from mid first round to the 7th round.

If he gets drafted in the 1st round then I'm going to try and get in the NFL personel business. I'm still amazed that Pat White got drafted in the 2nd round.

I think that says alot about the varying opinions on his prospects as a pro.

Tebow is not an NFL quarterback, period.

Tebow wont make it past the jaguars, they are in love with him. As for bradford and mccoy they are not the anwser either, what we need is ol, pure and simple ol and lots of it.

Ditto, OL then maybe a guy like Jevan Snead or Dan LeFevour in the 2nd Round

Seriously, LeFevour is my favorite QB coming out this year.

More on topic of this thread...yeah, it sucks.

In regards to the OP: I didn't know they ran the Spread Option in the NFL...the only system that allows Tebow to play QB.

That's the truth right there, and the best reason to kill off this thread. I've never seen a team drool so openly over a guy who is three games into his senior season. I'm gonna keep an eye on the Jags down the stretch to see if they intentionally tank their season to get in a better draft position. Tebow is a Jacksonville local, so it is part talent, BIG part ticket sales.

You guys can spend all day talking about whether or not Tebow will be a QB in the NFL. His skills really don't matter in this case . . . the Jaguars will draft him and start him as QB.

Keep an eye on the Jags late in the season. We may have a whole new definition of the "Florida Flop."

Look, I'm a huge Florida Gators fan, but Tebow is Not the answer nor is he an NFL QB. Sam Bradford is probably the best NFL ready QB. He's very very accurate. If he falls to us next year, and Campbell we know won't be here, then we should get him. All the other QB's in the draft I think are ok but not going to be good QB's in the pros. McCoy is a good college QB, but doesn't have it all. Jevan Snead, I've watched him play, but he's very inaccurate at times. Tebow is slow at throwing the ball/it just hangs and wobbles in the air a while, he's a lefty QB which isn't really common in the NFL, and his stats are blown up because he really is the true definition of a system QB. He is also widely regarded as one of the greatest college QB's of all time, not just cause of his passing, but because of his running, and that will work in college but the pro's..No.
