Tebow on the Trade Block, Miami Dolphins a possibility

A lot of shallow minds and Christian haters here!
TEBOW is EVERYTHING that MIAMI hoped P WHITE would be, and then some. He's a glorified Rookie, who put up better #s than most Rookies do. He has size, and can run. His "mechanics" are an issue only if you're expecting to transform him into the next P MANNING, or something.
The Wildcat started failing here once everybody realized that R BROWN wasn't even a mediocre passer. That's why MIAMI drafted P WHITE...the Wildcat is doomed w/o the real threat of the pass. But WHITE was too small to run i/s the Tackles, and MIAMI also made the BIG mistake of trying to correct his "mechanics". Correcting "mechanics" is a REALLY big gamble: it might work or it might not. And once you do so, the person is no longer the player that you drafted! P WHITE's a textbook example: after MIAMI got done fixing his "mechanics", he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn! He wasn't PAT WHITE anymore.
Look at TEBOW. He successfully ran up the middle in a style similar to the Wildcat at FLORIDA. And as an NFL ROOKIE QB, in limited time, he posted very decent numbers (FOR A ROOKIE) at DENVER, a team that isn't exactly a "powerhouse". Sizewise, he's the size of a TE. But mainly he can throw the football, well enough to put up a completion %age of 56% or so, as a Rookie...and a whole lot better than R BROWN ever even dreamed of achieving.
Now, think o/s the box just a little bit. Take MIAMI's Wildcat formation. Put TEBOW in at R BROWN's position, and R BUSH in R WILLIAMS' position (slot, left). Keep the rest of the Wildcat personnel intact, EXCEPT instead of putting PENNY or HENNE at the Left WR position, put MARSHALL there. And then, as they say, "let 'er rip"!!!
THIS Wildcat has CLAWS. Think about it. You've got a Moose/QB who played a similar formation in college (and very well), who can run inside the Tackles, and read defenses, and PASS the football. Instead of RICKY, you've got a "homerun threat" coming in motion, and instead of PENNY/HENNE at the Left WR, you've got MARSHALL. The TE threat (FASANO) is still there, and is now a viable threat w/a legitimate passer, who DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE a P MANNING, or BRADY, or MARINO to get the job done. And let's see DCs try to crowd the l/o/s NOW!
If MIAMI can in fact get TEBOW cheap, it should do so. And if it does, do not--repeat DO NOT--try to change his "mechanics". Learn from the PAT WHITE fiasco. And, MIAMI Coaching geniuses, IF TEBOW's MECHANICS bother you so very, very much, then don't get him at all.
After all, we want TIM TEBOW, not tim tebow.

Christian haters? That must be the reason.
By the way I would hope Tebow could throw the ball better than Ronnie, he is a QB.

2020 cant get here soon enough
If we do bring him in (and i think we will) whats the over/under on how many "Start Tebow" threads we'll see this season?

Respect and love the guys makeup. Mcd screwed him by putting first rnd expectations on him. He was at best a project as an NFL QB. I would love for the guy to just admit he is a football player and would be willing to take a role that suits that.

The funny thing is Ronnie didn't miss a single throw, fasano dropped at least a couple that were right in his hands and of course Ricky threw it right to the defense in the endzone.

They looked like strong hands.
This here is why I don't want him in Miami. The second the guy does anything wrong, everyone will put out the Christian hater card. The guy isn't even on the team and it's the card has already been played. Can't even imagine if he is actually on the team...

Good points. But you must realize this along with a few other minor roles is all Tebow is worth. Right now he is getting paid a lot of money. 1st rnd money along the lines of the last deals 1st rnd money. For a 6th rnd pick your ideas may be worth a shot with a restructure. Outside of that (I am a Christian) he offers very limited options.
Racist comment.

Missed that. Get this loser our of here. Throwing out "Christian haters" and racist comments. WTF
Caucasian, Christian, and played his college ball in the bible belt. The red states LOVE Tim Tebow.

I'm just saying man. Somehow this dude thinks that because we don't want a fourth team QB that somehow we're Christian haters. I'm not going to get into any Religious debates because that's not what this forum is for and the OP can GTFO with that crap.
This thread is getting a bit religulous.

Cool. I agree. As a Christain (one who goes to church very little unfortunately, way too much Sunday morning golf) making Tebow's NFL QB success about anything other than his obvious lack of the required skillset is embarrasing. The media is gonaa play off of it but any sensible individual should be able to see far past that.
