The difference here being that Rivers/Young had unorthodox deliveries, but they were still compact deliveries that had a bit of zip. There was some concern that their balls would sail on them and with Young, you still see that he's not the most accurate passer in the world.

Tebow's throwing motion out of college took way too long to get out of his hand. 1) in the NFL, that second is the difference between a sack and a completed pass; 2) in the NFL, if you start throwing with the ball at your hip, that ball will be stripped every single time.

Whereas Rivers/Young had unorthodox throwing motions, Tebow has the completely wrong throwing motion. It'll take time to change. I think he can overcome it. The question is if he can still be effective. No one knows.
