Seeing how all the draft threads turn into QB talk lets use this thread as the QB draft thread....I'll start by putting up some videos.

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.

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.
