yup


Knowing how to win and doing it in college does not always preclude knowing how to win and doing it professionally.

The way people are talking on here, it seems as if they think Tebow will have to come in to the NFL and play 1 against 11. If he can be put into the right situation, he'll be ridiculous. Matter of fact, after reading most of these posts, I hope he comes into the league and transforms the game. The NFL isn't all about physical assets. There is a lot to do with the mental aspect, almost to the point it matters more than the physical tools, and Tebow, of course, has his head on straight.

FWIW, the Gators hired a new QB coach who has NFL coaching experience and worked with Tom Brady, Brian Griese, Chad Henne and John Navarre at Michigan.

Overrated smoke! Don't breathe this!

Next year?

His college comment is very true but how can we know how he would handle the 2008 Chiefs? I think it would be nice to have someone who knows how it feels to win big games at the QB position. However regaurdless who is our "young" QB we need a real position coach!

I certainly wouldn't take him before the 4th round just saying he might may a good project for a team that is already set at QB for a couple years. He has a lot of the stuff you can't teach.

Good, he needs it. He may love Florida, and "love this", and "love that", but me thinks what he really loves is the stone-cold fact that if he's serious about going pro, he needs this coming off season and subsequent season to get it together.
Somebody whispered in his ear that despite winning the BCS Title, there was NO WAY IN HELL he was going in the 1st round.

This debate came up a few years ago. Some people touted Vince Young and the guy that was going to change the NFL. When it was pointed out that he had poor mechanics, wasn't accurate, couldn't read defenses and didn't have a lot between his ears, many yelled, "But he is a winner. Isn't that what it is all about? Winning?" When he went to Tennesee and took over and won a few games, his fans puffed out their chest with pride. It was pointed out that the D really stepped up, the runnnng game got a lot better and VY's passing stats were abysmal. "But he is a winner. All he does is win. At the college level or the pro's. He's a winner. And that's what it's all about." I just don't buy it.

He may end up being great. He may change the NFL. He may revolutionize the position. But I don't think he will be sucessful because he is a "winner".

Sorry for the rant. And this wasn't directed soley at you.

I think we should just get the LB from Wake Forrest. Reguardless of GM and Coach.

Thigpen has better mechanics, and those are Thigpen's weakness.

Tebow will be given every chance to succeed in the NFL -- everyone is in love with his intangibles.

Yep.

"He makes the big plays when it matters."

It'd be nice if he could make the majority of the other plays, too.

The way the rules revolve around protecting the passing game no player is going to come in and revolutionize the game without a paradigm shift in rules. It's a pocket passers game until that happens.

I've been wrong before but don't see it happening.

ReGARDless of our GM and coach, we shouldn't draft a linebacker at 3

While Tebow shares some of the knocks that VY had coming out of school, Tebow is not as dumb as VY and Tebow can read a defense (although he has the added luxury of doing it while not having to take a 3-7 step dropback).
