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.

in a gimmick offense. that's with a lot of 'lobs' of 1-2 yards thrown in as well. you won't get away with the jump-pass in the nfl, homer.

Really? That 3 weeks he took between the end of the season and the draft to alter 10 years of throwing mechanics wasn't permanent?!?!

Shocking! Shocking I say.

He's probably distracted by the burning down of the Big Jesus Statue in Ohio.

Mechanics are about consistency more than anything.

A QB with sound mechanics will be able to make strong throws in several different scenarios. A QB with odd mechanics is going to, at times, be in a position where his body simply won't allow him to make a throw. Or his mechanics will betray him and he'll heave a floater or something.

Statistics don't tell the story with mechanics.

Again, who cares about mechanics if the statistics are good? If KC got a QB with horrible mechanics, but completed 90% of his throws, would you care?

"Yeah, he completes 90% of his throws, but he throws like a girl!"

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.”

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

Tebow has incredible work ethic, but this statement is just stupid.

Oh geez...

You're not even comparing similar offenses and comparing his work ethic to Peyton at this point is just silly. Seriously.

Oh no... he's CP property, you guys are the babysitter. I believe he was born here, not on another board... so, according to the constitution - he's yours.

At least 1 Donk fan on this board has a brain.
