redskins55 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 In some ways, Tebow reminds me somewhat of Philip Rivers, but with a slower release. I followed Philip Rivers at NC State and knew he would be a great QB. I remember a ton of haters on Rivers before the draft, saying his release would never fly in the NFL and that he wouldn't amount to much. I haven't really followed Tebow that much at all, but he seems to have that leader quality Rivers has. That said, I haven't followed him much and I know a ton of people will be freaking out if we drafted him with our 4th overall pick. Yes it would be a freak show up there in D.C if we drafted Tebow.. but that would just show me that Shanahan has a plan and has evaluated Tebow's strengths for his offense . Remember what he said at his press conference.. " I think you always want to taylor your offense around the strengths of your QB" It could happen yall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Here's my take on "statistical" QB likeness: Jimmy Clausen = Matt Leinart, JC, Byron Leftwich Sam Bradford = Ben Roethlisberger, Rex Grossman, Matt Ryan Tim Tebow = Daunte Culpepper, Alex Smith, Troy Smith Colt McCoy = Chad Pennington, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees Caveat - I looked at it middle of last year. It's not throwing motions, intangibles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zguy28 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 oh dear god no!!!!I think a lot of folks tend to evaluate Tebow, not on his skills, but on the basis of how Urban Meyer's offense is designed (it makes NFL fans uncomfortable) and on his personal life. At least it sure seems that way. Maybe I'm wrong. I think he's better than most give him credit for. If brand name NFL coaches think he's good, well I gotta believe them a little. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I honestly believe that whatever Tim Tebow decides to do with his life, he'll be a tremendous success, including play QB in the NFL. He'll need some polish and some work to iron out the NCAA in him, but he just strikes me as a guy with supreme confidence born from an impeccable work ethic. Hard to not respect the young man. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I ran into this article this morning and it stated that shanahan likes tebow a lot which i found to be very interesting..Here is the rest of the articehttp://davidhwhitejr.com/mike-shanahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuler74 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 If Tebow looks like any qb its Steve Young earlier in his career. Their .throwing motion is very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnyles Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Who the @#@$ is David White and why is anything he says credible? Of course ShanWOW likes Time Tebow; He is a great kid by all accounts. That said, he won't be a high draft pick as a QB because of all the reasons previously discussed on the forum. Our coach and GM are too smart to jump into that problem. ShanWOW...I like it.

Vladimir L Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 If we could have him in the 3rd round sure why not. We could groom him for 2 years to have a decent release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modazfuk Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Why bother with Tebow? Because the dude obviously is driven to be a WINNER!!! Having these types of personalities on your team is infectious - everyone will raise their low standards. Okay, so he may not be an NFL QB, so? Find another position on offense which suits his skill set. Just get this guy on the field with the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team that is desperate for attendance in Florida (COUGH Jacksonville COUGH) will take him or a team that has drafted smart for years and doesn't have many holes to fill (New England) could take a flyer on an athlete with no real position in the NFL.

instinct21 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 That could be true Shanny did go to Florida and studied Urban Myers Spread Offense this past year. I think Tebow is a winner and I like that about him but I don't know if he will be a QB in the NFL. If Shanahan is gonna use any form of Urban's spread offense, it's going to be with Bradford.

Atlass Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I would love the Teabow pick if he decided to go with Campbell as their starter. They could then trade down a few of their picks and grab Teabow in the second. Then Teabow could sit on the bench and learn, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redzone Offense Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 the article doesn't say he will draft him it just says he likes him. It's not an article. It's a blog from some sportswriter who last published a book in 2004. The thread creator probably is the blog writer's brother. That blog is not even credible enough to be linked to a major sports or news outlet. Truly a waste of time.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
