Sup with Tebow Knowmo?

Tebow continues to struggle with mechanics
Posted by Mike Florio on June 15, 2010 12:12 PM ET
We recently pointed out Peter King's article in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, which features a close look at the ongoing effort to make Tim Tebow into an NFL quarterback.

Among other things, King's article shows that Tebow has been slipping into his old throwing motion during some practice reps.

As Mike Klis of the Denver Post points out, this fact conflicts with coach Josh McDaniels' insistence that Tebow has shown no problems with his mechanics.

We get the impression that, while the Broncos will continue to try to ensure that Tebow demonstrates proper mechanics at the NFL level, the team is willing to accept the fact that, from time to time, he'll rely on the muscle memory resulting from thousands and thousands of throws made with his prior motion.

But that doesn't mean the Broncos won't try to change him -- or that they'll pretend that the effort to do so already has been completed.

Of course he is going to slip into his old style when the pressure is on.. It is his style, it is damn near impossible to just change suddenly..

It’s 30 minutes after the Denver Broncos completed a June minicamp practice on a warm day in the Rockies.

Future Hall of Famer and team leader Champ Bailey is relaxing near the entrance to the team’s locker room, about to enjoy the air conditioning and a post-practice meal.

Bailey suddenly points to a figure on a distant field. A solitary player remains at work.

It’s Tim Tebow.

“See that?” Bailey asks. “That’s Tebow. It’s long after practice and he’s still out there. That’s what he does. That’s not for show. He’s not just doing that because the media is here today. He does that every day.”

So it is true. He is struggling. I think everyone would practice as much as they could if they knew they were doing it wrong. "we're talking about practice"

Big ****ing deal. He's putting workin during practice. That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that his mechanics suck.

He has to stay after practice to learn how to throw a football.......got it. Shit i bet Jake Plummer's better at throwing left handed than Tebow is.

Hope he starts come Sept!!!!!!!!!

There's no one on the planet — including his mother and the guys responsible for drafting him — that has ever considered for a moment that he'd start in September.

I remember reading about how Raymond Berry would stay for hours after practice trying to catch balls that were intentionally thrown so that he couldn't catch them. I imagine he might have a different opinion than you do regarding the importance of dedication, drive and work ethic.

Obviously it's important, but all the hard work in the world doesn't mean he'll be a good QB. It just means he'll be better than he is right now.

That's all his employers are asking for at the moment.

You can be the hardest worker and most dedicated person on the planet, and that won't mean shit if you lack overall talent.

Very true. If you or I practiced 14 hours a day for the next three years it wouldn't matter.

He's starting from a different point though, and I really can't say whether it will be enough in his case.

Do his "mechanics" really matter if he throws the ball on target?
