There is no way he will be an NFL quarterback. His reads are slow. His mechanics and release are slow, and probably the most critical, he does not have a strong arm to make the downfield throws. He also does not know how to take the ball from under center. Sure he has put up gaudy college numbers but this is college. He has a high completion percentage but these are pretty much all easy short passes and lateral passes. His gifted receivers then often turn these into big yards and touchdowns which of course count towards his passing stats. But this is far different than hitting a 30 yard pass down a seam through coverage something that he can’t do but an NFL quarterback has to be able to. The only deep throws I have seen him complete are to wide open receivers and busted coverage. Again this has little to do with him, and more to do with the defense screwing up and again his talented receivers just being too fast to recover on. He really lobs up some wobbly deep balls.

no i dont think he can perform at the next level he lacks accuracy as u mention and also as u metioned we dont know he can run a pro offense i think if he will be a good QB it will take him about 4-6 years to develop he wont be a matt ryan.

the nfl is built on Athletes not who can stand in the back field and throw a pass. Tebow will be an nfl QB. and will have sucess throwing the ball.

He is the man. Plays with heart, and is very determined. He will be a Hall Fame quaterback. Take my word for it.

tebow has the arm an speed, put him on a team that has a good vetran quarterback that can teach him, someone like Tom Brady, McNabb, Peyton Manning, or a good cordinator like jason garrett, tim tebow has the biggest potential in this draft without a doubt, he just has certain areas he needs coaching.

I think Ben is a more polished "thrower" mechanics wise.. but I personally believe Tebow is a much smarter QB…has much better instincts as a passer.. and I think he throws a much better long ball too. AND Tebow is 1000 times the athlete Bigben is. Same exact thing with David Garrard. Similar to Tebow but Tebow is better in every aspect accept Garrard throws a tighter spiral. All people really have to knock Tebow is his spiral. which is ridiculous. They will probably fix that in the pros before he even starts.. and even if they don't, who gives bleep? He works with it fine.. NFL Qbs and coaches have raved about Tebow as a passer.

No he wont he will not be a good QB, He isn't even being recruited as a QB hes being recruited as a Tight end by most teams because hes 6-4 240 fast and tough so no, he wont be a good QB if he plays QB at all he will be in the wildcat form
