Tebow rated "solid D" by NFL experts

[dfresh689]

Fair enough. Tebow threw for over 9000 yards.

and didn't play in a pure option offense either.....

I find it funny how Tim Tebow the goldon child of Budha, desperately wants to play quarterback in the NFL. He was hailed by ESPN and almost every mainstream media analyst as the best QB in Collegiate football history. Now, with his less than stellar performance in the Senior Bowl, and "horrible fundamentals" in practice all week, even ESPN Recruiting Analyst and expert Todd McShay rated him as a quote, "solid D, maaaybe D+" quarterback for the NFL level. How quickly they can go from lining up to worship at his feet to now saying he could go in the 4th round MAYBE and is a solid "D" rating for NFL QB.

Because Tim Tebow is going to be the single most over-analyzed player in this years draft.

Todd McShay seems to love going out of his way to rip on Tebow. I don't think Tebow will be a good NFL QB, but McShay also claimed Jamarcus Russel was the most impressive QB he had ever seen work out, so I don't know how much I believe his assessment.

Todd McShay also said that Derrick Morgan and Jonathan Dwyer were the key players to watch in the buildup to the Orange Bowl.

Since we can't stop the mainstream media from talking about St. Tebow can we at least have a blackout on him here?

I second this motion. All in favor, say "aye"

What we have here is another case of Gino Torretta, Danny Wuerffel, Charlie Ward, Eric Crouch and every other college quarterback that blew up college football and then sputtered out at the pro level. These quarterbacks worked in their system, just like Tebow did at Florida. There is no disputing his achievements in college, but the bottom line is that his skills, his body type, everything just dont translate to the pro level. Despite my dislike for him, it is hard to watch.

What makes Tebow the best college QB of all time? That is quite a statement to make. Do you think had he not been on the Gators that they wouldn't have won all the games they won?

Another thread earlier proclaimed him the best college player ever, so at least your claim is scaled down compared to that.

I don't even think he was the best college football player last year, let alone the best of all time.

I do admire him for what he stands for, and it is unfortunate that he was an SEC player as that is the reason ESPN hyped him the way they did.

I don't think he was the greatest player ever. I was just referencing the original post. I think he was good, but greatest is quite the stretch. It's more the intangibles with a guy like Tebow than anything else. I agree that he probably wasn't even the best last year :cough: Suh :cough:

Completely off topic, I hate Kinnick comparisons more than anything. Tim Tebow just like Nile Kinnick... if Tebow was also a starting safety, kicker, and punter.

And he's also not accurate at all. That's awesome that he can throw the ball 80 yards but it does no good if you can't hit the open guy.

Accuracy is the difference between a hall of famer and a journeyman.

Accuracy is everything. It's almost impossible to teach, too, which is why it is so highly compensated.

You find it funny that he wants to play QB in the NFL??? What heisman winning college QB doesn't?? Maybe he'll pan out, maybe he won't, but to act like it's some kind of far reaching fantasy is a little silly on your part...

I just don't get the hatred of this kid. If you got sick of all the coverage on him, then hate ESPN, don't hate Tebow. The fact is, he was a great college football player and apparently a pretty great guy. Does he have what it takes to make it in the NFL? I guess we'll find out.

Two words...Charlie Ward

I find it funny--but not "ha-ha funny"--that people seem to gain elation in direct-but-inverse proportion to the fortunes or misfortunes of Tim Tebow.

Why rip a guy because he wants to play QB in the NFL?

Is "ESPN Recruiting Analyst and expert Todd McShay" the same people that have been "lining up to worship at his feet to now saying he could go in the 4th round MAYBE and is a solid "D" rating for NFL QB"?

I wonder if college QB's can spell "goldon child of Budha" correctly?
