Re: [NFL] Tebow: No future. The lastest info.

said by footballdude:

Also, saying he cannot throw well, you have to ignore that he is #2 in the NCAA history books in passing efficiency.

In the NFL you certainly can ignore college football stats, and in fact are wise to do so. College stats don't translate often into NFL success. Danny Wuerffel is the first of many examples that comes to mind.

Back to the point that Tebow can't run the pistol offense --- doing so requires 2 things: pass accurtely and be fast enough to elude defenders when running. Griffin, Wilson, and Kaepernick can do both. Tebow can do neither.

If you were a NFL head coach and your owner went out and got Tebow and then made it clear to you it is his wish to see Tebow play how would you use him?

A few wildcat plays per game. Perhaps in goal line situations. And I'd have him spending most of his practice time learning to read defenses which he's poor at. There are young QB's with less college success than him who've learned to do it.

That sounds good...I asked you due to after reading your sports posts over the years I feel you would make a good head coach.....you're a good fan but also a good knowledgeable thinker of the game....I feel the same with [Rook008].

Have you ever done any coaching of sports on any level?

No, none at all but thanks for the compliment.

I get in trouble with fellow Redskin fans because when they suck I'll say they suck, and that doesn't go over well with "homers" or fans of the team or of particular players on it. I root like hell for players and teams I like, but I don't say they're good when they're bad.

Actually Manti Teo should. He could spend his time talking to an imaginary person and not get criticized for doing so.

These stats are irrelevant when it comes to his ability to play in the NFL as it is much easier to throw on college defenses. IF college stats were accurate at predicting success we would not have so many 1st round picks that ended up as busts at every position. There have always been QBs who were tremendous stars in college that ended up failing in the NFL, and that trend will only continue. Admire his heart, tenacity, and leadership abilities--he just is not NFL QB material.

Think he could make a good Fullback if given the chance and he put his mind to it. Would be a persistent Wildcat threat, he's big enough to take on Blitzers in pass protection, and should be big enough to help open some holes for any tailback. Don't know how much more of a chance he will be given in the NFL, but am sure he will land upon his feet no matter what happens.
