His footwork from under center is the only thing that is not "NFL ready" IMO. So yeah I think he needs a year or two to get coached up, but I am not concerned with his throwing motion. I think Tebow has a better feel for the game than any QB in this draft class though.

No.
The INT he threw last night shows he needs to adjust to the speed of the game.
Like all rookies he hasn't begun to learn how to read his progressions at game speed.
No way you can evaluate an NFL QB until you see him line up against the other team's 1s when the reall bullets start flying on Sundays.

Not so sure about that but I will admit that maybe he is a lil more NFL ready than most believe.Certainly more so than what I thought. We'll see what happens in the reg season and then talk about it some more.

Despite what I think of him right now... obviously I hope for nothing but great things, and I would certainly want him playing as opposed to Quinn.

I would. With Quinn we wouldn't even sniff 6 wins. Whereas with Tebow we'd have about the same record as with Quinn (maybe better if Tebow progresses well during the season) and we'd be getting Tebow some experience.
