When it comes to being a football QB, there are intangibles that cannot be measured. Tom Brady has them. Physically he was unimpressive coming out of college (hence the drop to Round Six). Another player like that was Jets QB Chad Pennington--who, IMO, if not for the injury issues, would've been a very good QB. Going back a bit, another Patriot QB who had "it" was Doug Flutie: too small to play QB, supposedly, but all he did was win. (Crossing positions, another player like that is Patriots WR Wes Welker. He's a short white guy, and yet he's blowing away the stat sheets.)
IMO I think Tebow is one of those guys. He may not throw the prettiest deep pass, and he may aggravate you, but he can make things happen. I would not mind having him as the Patriots' backup QB at all. I think Belichick could work wonders with him. Orton, when he's on his game, may be stronger and more accurate but with Orton you know where the ceiling is (and it's pretty low IMO). With Tebow, you have no idea.
