I've never seen anyone more competitive, who plays with more fervor and who has a greater desire to win. His attitude and personality towards playing reminds me a lot of Brett Favre.

I think that would be a good comparison. Favre has horrible mechanics but he is a winner. Of course, he can make any throw where I'm not sure that Tebow can.

Has Bradford said anything about coming out? I don't think a guy with only 2 years starting experience (and the ability to play more) would declare.

Tebow reminds me of Steve Young. You need to get him with a team with a great QB coach or a head coach who can groom QB's.

No, but he will be eligible. He is a good student so unless he is going to be a high draft pick I don't see him coming out.

Players don't talk about declaring until their college season is over...

Tebow's bigger, stronger and more durable than Steve Young.

Steve Young was a pretty damned durable sonofabitch until he got his bell rung incessantly near the end of his career.

Tebow has among the worst throwing mechanics I've ever seen, and he's a spread option QB. That system has not produced an NFL caliber starting QB yet. If you draft him, you're going to have to groom him for 3 years at least. He's going to have to learn how to read a defense, go through a progression, and re-learn how to properly throw a football.

It's basically the equivalent of drafting someone right out of high school with shoddy mechanics.

If you thought Huard was a wobble-launcher, wait til you see Tebow's "spiral."

I would, under no circumstances, ever draft Tim Tebow with a pick in the first 4 rounds.

Well, I might take him on a flier in the fourth, just for kicks. He could be a fun long-term project with his own position coach.

I'd rather draft a guard who would actually see the playing field. Tebow is the ultimate fanboi prospect, IMO.

FYI, Mark Sanchez will be on ESPN tonight at 8.

I would. Better then what we have now.

When I see Tebow throw the ball I always wonder when they started using a shotput. He's good at it though, no doubt.

Watch him try to get that motion off with a DT barreling in his face.
