good post. but again, same stuff. i know with florida's qb history (you hit a parked cop car? don't even get me started dildo) and the spread offense qb history - his chances of success at the pro level are slim. historically at least. but you're not gonna tell me he doesn't have a chance because he can't take a snap. and footwork? you have seen him play, correct?
and i know why qb's from the spread system don't translate well to the nfl. while that was excellent info - from someone that knows their shyte - it was all safe and very matter of fact. the only thing you really touched on was mechanics, because his accuracy 'problems' should have been quashed after his umpteenth deep pass hit harvin (damn near the fastest player in college) in stride.
let's take it to the next level. what about tebow's mechanics don't you like?
So if you know all this and know that QB's that come from these systems don't translate well to the NFL, you only argue against your own knowledge because you're a Gator fan?
I never said Tebow didn't have a chance, I said Stafford is the better NFL QB prospect. And yes, I see everybody play...
Your first response to my post seemed to insinuate that the outcome of the Fla/Georgia game was going to have some impact on their futures in the NFL or something...lol.
I'm neither a Gator or Bulldog fan, I'm a college football fan, I have no bias in that respect.
Hitting Harvin in stride isn't what translates to the NFL...Chris Leak could hit Harvin in stride too...and Caldwell...not hard to do when you're wide open.
Tebow has to shore up the quirk in his delivery, but college coaching isn't going to do that....they don't tinker with the prospects mechanics like they will at the NFL level because of the fear it will set the team back while he makes the adjustments.
Tebow's release is low (as most college QB's are) but he also has the same quirk that Kyle Boller had, which is he almost "pushes" the ball out of his hand, almost like a shotput, just to give you a visual, but not nearly that dramatic, of course.
These gimmick systems that have come along are exactly what has ruined QB prospects nowadays. You can't compare Tebow to past Florida QB's like Palmer, Weurffel, Grossman, etc...these were Spurrier QB's...and a totally different system..although still a system nonetheless. Very similar to Jeff Tedfords system at Cal (Boller, Rodgers, Longshore, etc.)
Tebow's best comparison is obviously Alex Smith, although Smith's throwing mechanics were much cleaner and more crisp versus Tebow's.
If Tebow was running Mark Richt's offense at Georgia, he wouldn't be completing 67% of his passes...that I can guarantee you. These systems are designed to put up these gaudy stats one QB after another, after another, after another, after....
