How does coach Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano – whose team popularized the Wildcat – feel Tebow would do in the formation.

"Oh, I think he'd do fine," Sparano said.

"There's so much of this Wildcat going on," an AFC scout said this week. "If someone is willing to give him a shot, they might also look at him at (the Wildcat)."

Sparano is careful about comparing Tebow to other quarterbacks in the Wildcat or any other system. The Dolphins used last year's second-round selection on West Virginia's Pat White, a shotgun quarterback who rushed for 81 yards and did not complete a pass in five attempts.

While other teams might use the Wildcat for a diversion, the Dolphins run the Wildcat for power. With Ronnie Brown as the quarterback and Ricky Williams his backfield mate, teams know what's coming but still have trouble stopping Miami's toughness.

The Dolphins, who are coaching this year's Tebow-led South Team, might not be looking for a quarterback with Chad Henne positioned as the franchise's future.

"You're looking at different players, you try to identify their skill sets and see if it fits you and your team," Sparano said. "In our case, Pat White was a guy we've seen in this (Senior Bowl)."

My nightmare is Belecheat taking Tebow with one of his 14-2nd round picks and having him run the 'cat against US!
 
I just got cornered by one of my co-workers, who proceeded to berate Tony Sprano ( and me by virtue of being a Phins fan) for ruining Tim’s pro career. He’s a huge Gators honk and is furious that Tony is “going Tony Soprano” on his passing ability.
 
The way TIm Tebow is practicing, maybe he will drop to the 3rd or even 4th and we can pick him up...There wont be any guilt with the pick at that point...you wouldnt take Tebow in the 3rd or 4th?

to play tight end? If he's there in the 7th, then i'd think about it.

Hey c-town....tell your buddy that coach sparano isn't the only one heavily criticizing everything about Timmy Boy's 'passing ability'. Practically every on-air draft expert is justifiably picking apart his throwing mechanics, accuracy and footwork.
 
Tebow in the wildcat is a disaster IMO. Our offense is trending away from it as Ronnie cannot be counted on to be healthy. Stay away.
 
Not happening. We used a draft pick on a QB for the wildcat last year. Let someone else use him as a project.
