The Steelers (and therefore, Whisenhunt’s Steelers West) have made use of several former QBs over the last decade: Hines Ward, Antwaan Randle-El, Kordell Stewart, Jay Riemersma, to name a few…
Other than those two, I think Jacksonville is totally plausible based upon their geography and weak attendance. They also have experience converting QBs to other positions, in Matt Jones.

Why are ppl wanting to change him to a RB or a LB? Are you the same morons that said Vick will make a great WR and/or RB? He is a quarterback, who has had a lot of success as a quarterback therefore moving him to LB or RB makes no sense whatsoever.
Some of you should have to pass an IQ test to post here. Geez

it would be very smart for jacksonville to draft tebow.
tebow’s skillsets aside, jax drafting him would single-handedly turn that franchise around, economically. all of a sudden jacksonville would be relevant again.
tebow is a lot like vince young in the respect that he’s not the best QB, but he has athletic intangibles that help lead a team. Tebow will just magically make everyone around him play better, much like how young does.

Tebow shouldn’t be drafted in the first round Despite his accomplishments in college he isn’t a pro style QB at least not without a lot of work on his throwing mechanics. At best if he wants to play early he’s either a wildcat qb or transitions to a H-Back position.

Tim Tebow is going to blow the doors off every qb at the combines. All you haters are in for a lot of hating because Tebow is the man and he is going to play qb not fullback or TE or linebacker. He is a natural born leader and a winner.

1. To compare Vince Young and Tim Tebow is laughable. Similar offenses, but Vince is way faster, and can run away from NFL defenses. Tebows 4.83 40 yard dash says he wont.
2. Good point about Chris Leak. Eric Crouch, Jason White, Ken Dorsey, and a host of other “he just wins” people come to mind. Maybe they keep winning because of that defense? (I’m just sayin…)
3. Jacskonville and New Orleans are the two teams, because of locality(J-ville) and the threat of the wildcat(NO). Minnasota? Maybe I guarentee you that they would take Sam Bradford over Tim Tebow…better fit for the offense, more accurate passer, better release, and I bet Peterson will push for the OU connection better than Percy will for UF.

They’ll change their minds when the Senior Bowl happens.

Everyone in this room is a hater. Who cares about is skills at this point. He is a winner. There is no way he will ever play any other position other then QB(not saying he will succeed). Also, guys like soupnazi are pathetic. You sit there and MOCK god like you have any right to do so? you should be very very ashammed of yourself. Beleive in the big man or not you should never use his name like that. Also, like i said before stop hating on this kid. Jealous because he wins games and you sit there week in and week out and watch tv . The sky is the limit for Tebow…not just in football he will do what he wants in life and be successfull.

For all you guys that think all Tebow does is win, I have a story for you. I live in Charlotte NC, and there was a guy here named Chris Leak. That’s what everyone said about him as well. I always thought he was overrated. He went to play for Florida. After he left school, he was picked up by Chicago as a rookie FA, all the while people still saying “all he does is win”. Guess where he is now. Selling insurance here in Charlotte. The lesson of the story? Just because you are good in college, does not equate to being a good NFL QB. Whoever drafts him will have the next Mike Vick. Tons of talent and potential, but never lives up to it.

Wow. A lot of Tebow haters out there. I am not a gator fan, actully I cant stand the gators, but I have watched almost all of their games this year. The kid makes good decisions, takes care of the football, and has the work ethic to succeed at the next level. Seeing a guy like VY, who has a similar skill set, start to put things together makes me think Tebow can do the same thing. Jacksonville will draft him, and he will be fine.

Mentioning Jacksonville in this story makes a lot of sense, but you are forgetting one very key aspect: Del Rio has ZERO say when it comes to the draft pick. Gene Smith will be making that decision and something tells me he’ll want to improve the worst pass rush in the NFL. Garrard isn’t great (and it’s tough even giving him that much credit after his fumbles today), but he’s serviceable. We need help elsewhere.

Yeah Gruden and Dungy sure know a lot about QBs… Gruden has had about 70 and none stick. Dungy had Peyton, he didn’t draft him he just had him.

What Fan wouldn’t want to see what happens when Tebow throws to Harvin again? That is great T.V. Tebow can be underrated when it comes to his potential in the NFL as a QB.

If it has to be “winning teams” as stated, then that narrows it to 14 teams. If you narrow it to teams without a young franchise quarterback (that has the confidence of the organization) that leaves:
Jacksonville (around #16-20)
Philadelphia (around #20-24)
Arizona (around #22-26)
Minnesota (around #28-32)
Denver (has the Bears Pick which will be higher than Tebow is projected to go #9-13).
Non-winning teams that would be candidates to take at or trade into position #21-32 to take Tebow:
Seattle (from Denver)
Carolina
Buffalo
St Louis
Oakland
Cleveland

no way Tebow plays in the West Coast offense that Minnesota has … Jacksonville is still fine

I didn’t know peter king still reported nfl news…..has he ever been right? Gruden and Dungy has endorsed tebow…… well, knowing those two geniuses are on board seals it for sure!!

Any team that drafts Tim Teabow anywhere in the draft will regret it, he has bust written all over him. He cannot play QB in the NFL and has already said he refuses to change positions.

Pats, but not as a QB.
He’d be a hell of a HB/TE hybrid in that system

Being a Viking fan, next year scares me. I doubt Favre will be around for another year, TJack is worthless, No decent QB will fall far enough for the Vikings to pick up (No, I don’t think Tebow is a decent QB, not at the NFL level anyway)
The Vikings are going to be picking WAY down at the end unless they trade up……..and if they do, I hope they don’t give up the farm…..they are going to be needing decent replacements for the D line in a couple years at most!

Jon Gruden is hardly an expert on QB’s…or did you miss when he was the HC of the Bucs?
Tebow is going to bust in such a way that guys like him will enter the combine as a TE.

Tebow learning from Farve for a year and then hooks up with Harvin just like the old days……Makes a ton of sense and it is very clear the Gator system is a easy transition to the Vikings sytem.

By: The Jimmy

The Jimmy — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:46:58 +0000

Why would somebody who wanted to draft Tebow tell a reporter that he wouldn’t get past them? They’d be more likely to say he is horrible and they wouldn’t go near him.
