rofl tebow farking sucks. you guys are hilarious. SIGN THAT GUY! WHAT THE HELL WHY NOT?
This is the part that doesn't quite vibe with me...
Nobody was harder on Tebow as a quarterback prospect coming out of Florida than I was... he was a 3-4 year project as far as being an NFL quarterback is concerned.
He's yet to "suck" in a game. It wasn't too long ago that the Broncos were ready to trade Kyle Orton and go into the season with Tebow as their starting quarterback... something doesn't add up.
I think Denver dropped him to 4th on their depth chart in the hopes that it would settle down some of Tebow's cult following that he has within the Broncos fanbase. They can't function properly as an organization when Kyle Orton is constantly getting boo'ed in practice, and Tebow's followers keeping a controversy stirred up all the time. I believe Denver thought that as long as they had him as the backup or 3rd stringer, it only instigated more controversy.
Brady Quinn was a 1st round pick too... he didn't get picked in the 1st round because he can't throw the football in practice or in workouts... he can.
Tebow is worth the project for Miami. A "project" that is a natural born leader, and has thrown more touchdowns than interceptions in the games he was allowed to play... that's more than Miami can say for their starting quarterback if you choose to take a practical look at the situation.
Tim Tebow will never be a Brady, Manning, Rivers, Brees, Ryan, Rodgers, etc. caliber quarterback. Forgettaboutit. However, he won't be outworked or outhustled by anybody in the league, and he can help his team in other ways that not many players can WHILE he developes as a quarterback.
Tebow's floor is quite different than most developmental quarterbacks.... there's not any significant downside in allowing him to play in certain situations in REAL game situations while you continue to work with him.
