Who gets Tim Tebow in tonight's NFL Draft?

I won't argue his NFL prospects.

I took offense to your comment about me calling Tebow one of the greatest COLLEGE players of all time ludicrous.

Well it was a bit of an overstatement.
There have been hundreds of great college players and Tebow is not one of them.


Just check this list: http://www.americasbestonline.net/cfootball100.htm

Muaaahahahahahahaha I guess you haven't been following college ball very long or at least not paying attention. Maybe too much 420 the other day LMFAO

Tebow will go by the end of the 2nd round but then again Coach Belichick doesn't know shit either I suppose eh!

And it's not because I am a die hard Gator fan as I never thought Danny Wuerffel was all that.

GO Gators!!!!!

ya right
tim tebow the greatest
balls
he isnt even nfl qb material

Huh????

1. Tebow is arguably the greatest college player of all time. He's one of the greatest without any argument. He has the stats, the hardware and the intangibles to prove it. Any statement to the contrary is misguided by ignorance, hate, or a desire to be contrarian.

2. While he may not be suited to the NFL directly out of college he's the one guy in that circumstance that I'd take a risk on. His work ethic and will to succeed are amazing.

I've been hearing that the Bills and Vikings are interested. I hope for Tebow's sake he winds up in Minnesota over Buffalo. Ick.

As for the Vikings needing publicity for a stadium push...well you'll grab some headlines as soon as the yearly "Will He or Won't He" Brett Favre drama begins.

I don't know that I'd take a QB in the first 5 picks of the draft. They're almost always a bust and you screw your team for years if you do that. Too many great QBs are drafted in later rounds.

Tebow owns the highest career college QB Passing Efficiency of All-Time with 170.7879. As for individual seasons,

In 2009, he was ranked #1 with a PE of 164.17
In 2008, he was ranked #4 with a PE of 172.37
In 2007, he was ranked #2 with a PE of 172.5
In 2006, he wasn't ranked (did not meet minimum att/game), but had a PE of 201.73.

Vick had a PE of 152.93 in his 2 years of playing. (Vick had a 179.189 PE in 1999, but threw 12.75 passes per game, which is below minimum att/game).
Brennan had a PE 167.645 in his 3 years of playing.

In fact, Tebow has higher season totals than Stafford, Sanchez, Russell, Ryan ever had. In fact, they compared the PE rating of Bradford and Tebow before the 2009 BCS Title game and it proved that Tebow has a higher completion percentage and PE rating than Sam Bradford on passes longer than 20 yards. And it wasn't a case of the sample size being too small either. I wish I could find it, but my ESPN membership expired.

He threw at Florida's Pro Day.

Colt is crazy accurate, but he doesn't throw down field as well. There are comparisons to Drew Brees, but Brees holds the ball up much higher and has a much stronger arm. Also, the vast majority of scouts and executives are mixed. Kiper has Tebow in his new first round and both Mayock and Gruden think he's worth a 1st-round pick as well. Mayock thinks he can do very well in the league.

Seems like there are quite a few other players that will fit with teams needs before Tebows name is called. And if he is going to need 3-4 years to become productive thats asking a lot of patience for a team and their fans to have. The guy is in a tough spot for sure.

I'm not a huge Tebow fan and the reason I started this thread was because I found it interesting that a person could have such an illustrious college football career and could possibly never play a single down in the pros.

I looked at your list of 100

Now go here and read up on Tebow's accomplishments and see how he's surpassed many on that list of 100. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tebow


When that list has Herschel Walker ( was great ) and not Tebow even though Tebow RAN for more touchdowns than Walker who was a RB and Tebow was a QB and the fact that tebow holds the SEC record for career touchdowns, the list lost credibility at least in my eyes.

I hope Steelers trade Big Ben and pick up Tebow. The's one of the only franchises that has proven to do well with a rookie QB.

Dallas Cowboys

He won't last past the second round.....I personally think he'll go in the first. I'm not really a fan, and I don't think he's the best QB prospect, but the guy is a winner - period. Probably the face of a franchise (Jacksonville).

They just did a story in my sunday paper ( orlando ) about Tebow going to Jacksonville and how it would help sell tickets having the hometown hero on the team and what a great fit he would be.

The Jags position was that the best way to sell tickets is to have a winning team and as popular as Tebow is it wouldn't be in the best interest of the franchise to have him if he wasn't productive. They didn't say how hard they were going to go after him but they will continue their evaluation.

BTW they said that he will not be in NYC for the draft and will be watching it at home with his family in Jacksonville

As we've mentioned once or twice, quarterback Tim Tebow's habit of openly expressing his religious beliefs could potentially rub folks the wrong way, especially in a locker room of grown men who choose to keep their beliefs to themselves, who don't share his beliefs at all, and/or who only want to hear "God bless" after they have sneezed.

We're told that Tebow already has gotten a taste of the resistance he might face at the next level.

At the Scouting Combine, the Wonderlic exam is administered to players in groups. The 12-minute test is preceded by some brief instructions and comments from the person administering the test.

Per a league source, after the person administering the test to Tebow's group had finished, Tebow made a request that the players bow their heads in prayer before taking the 50-question exam.

Said one of the other players in response: "Shut the f--k up." Others players in the room then laughed.

He runs too much. But usually gets the job done. Not sure if that will fly in the NFL.
