Having watched him play many times, I don't think he is a "lousy quarterback" - at all. He was a big winner as a QB before the NFL. What percentage of us have done what he has done as a QB? The fact that he has not fit in or is not in demand in the NFL is not an overall determinant of his ability or value.

Paul - It was just an attention getting headline. I don't think he has the accuracy for the NFL. But he is such an impressive young man.

If he had a drug or adultery problem he'd be a starter.

Tim Tebow is an impressive young man.

Sad, but true.

Also sad, but true, I believe that wearing his faith on his sleeve hurt him in the NFL.

I've been playing and watching football for 55 years and one thing I've learned about quarterbacks is that leadership is as important, maybe more important, than talent. When he played for the Broncos this kid was able to inspire a team of veterans to achieve greatness. Even when the Broncos didn't win, we still loved the team and the kid with God in his heart. I agree that he is destined for more greatness in some walk of life.

Players have been thanking Jesus for decades. It ain't anything new.

Tebow just couldn't perform in the NFL. If he could, he'd be playing.

He still may get picked up.

He tried playing for three different teams. They all knew something the fans didn't.

That being said, not sure if he is worse than Sam Bradford, and with Bradford out...

Great guy, not an NFL-caliber quarterback. Not surprising since there are only a few dozen in the world.

Personally I liked watching him play. The way I look at it is folks like Gabbert and Quinn keep getting picked up to be backups and Tebow is better then them IMO (especially as a backup).

Moon probably threw the football better than anyone. Absolutely perfect spiral, huge arm and incredible accuracy. I feel fortunate to have seen him play. Just an awesome QB.

As a Bama fan I'm happy to see TT on the Sec network.And I thank God every day that Tebow signed with Flawduh.

The CFL is a poor place for someone that cannot throw. The fields are larger and it is a passer's game.

Let's face it. He was never going to be a great NFL quarterback, which places him in good company with, say...

Johnny Football.

Eric - I understand - all good. I am far from expert on NFL arms/accuracy, so can't/don't disagree. I completely agree that he is impressive in many ways even though an NFL team has not seen him as vaulable in their scheme.

Even though I enjoy watching some NFL teams, such football is primarily entertainment and the values and worth of the NFL are merely a speck in the universe of importance.

Maybe. It won't be in football. There he's destined for obscurity, just a minor "could have been" footnote. Maybe he'll have a place in politics or something like that. He seems like a good dude squandering more good opportunities than most of us ever see. Tragedy of sorts and more than a little foolishness on his part. frown

I don't think he has ever been accused of being too bright.

Terry Bradshaw didn't have that initial accuracy, either. I see some similarities between Tebow and Bradshaw. I remember well everyone saying Bradshaw would never make it as a QB.
