Whitfield also said he could turn Landry Jones into a first round pick. How is that working out George?

He doesn’t need to change his throwing motion or anything else. Just let the guy play, he’ll win you games.

Put some talent around him, he’ll be okay!

He’s honestly not that different from Roethlisberger. Ben is not, and has never been the most accurate. He buys time, then hits the guy who gets open. And Tebow can definitely run better than Ben.

Give him some receivers like Wallace, Brown, and Sanders… a reliable tight end like Miller, and a defense like the Steelers used to have, and Tebow could probably win a Super Bowl

If everything goes perfect, Tebow can win in the NFL. Then again, anyone can wi. If it all went right for them.

Tebow has a great attitude and a great work ethic. But his skill set doesn’t match with an NFL QB. I’ve wondered since he came into the league why someone hasn’t turned him into a tight end. He understands routes and blocking schemes, to some degree, b/c of playing QB; he has a big body, pretty good hands, and running skill. If Matt Jones, that knucklehead from Arkansas – the one who did crack – can transition from QB to WR, I’m sure Tebow can be a TE.

I do not understand why Tim insists on being a QB….he has the physical tools and the heart to be an impact player @ Fullback, H back, Tight End or even Linebacker. He could be an All Pro Special Teams player….come on Bill….bring him to NE for EVERYTHING else…..he can play….just not QB!

Because a plethora of coaches will believe they can be “the one” to turn Tebow into a talented starter, he will have a long and profitable, if less than illustrious, NFL career.

I don’t get it, the man started in Denver and got them into the playoffs. Hell, didn’t they take the division? I am not some Tebow fanboy, but I recognize a clear difference between a prototypical NFL quarterback, and a football player. Tebow is a football player, and he knows how to win.

Who’s Tim Tebow. Notice, no question mark. This is a statement.

metalhead:
I have no strong feelings about Tebow one way or the other. He is irrelevant.
However, I get a little tired of hearing people like you crow that he can throw because he won a playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even a blind squirrel finds the acorn once in a while…
If Tebow could actually “throw,” seems to me he’d have more than just one 300-yard game on his NFL resume. Quarterbacks who can throw, you know, usually do it more than ONCE.
Once is not a trend…

I will take Tebow over Batch & Leftwich at this point of their careers.

btw, its funny to see raven fans tease steelers fans about Tebow beating Big Ben in the playoffs, while they are still waiting for Flacco to do it.

cubsisles-

I also watched him get blown out by the Lions, The Bills and the Patriots (twice). And the Patriots defense was horrible last year.

And the playoff game was in Denver, BTW.

BCrew – can you please explain to me how Tebow “engineered a playoff win”? The defense bailed him out of a bunch of close games. That’s all.

Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Ben Roethlisberger, Phillip Rivers, Landry Jones, Logan Thomas, Tajh Boyd, E.J. Manuel and Johnny Manziel are some that I know Whitfield has worked with.

The kid won some hard games in Denver, and then engineered a playoff win. Then he went to the armpit of the NFL and has shut his mouth and accepted his role. He is not a pretty thrower, but who cares about looks? The guy can MAKE plays, and is a good role model.

Done nothing outside of college? Were you not glued to Primetime watching Tebow bring the Broncos back from a deficit in the 4th quarter to win with his legs AND his arm for about 8 weeks in a row including the Steelers, at Pittsburgh, in the playoffs. He would/should start for the Bears, Vikings, Jaguars, Eagles, Raiders, Jets, Dolphins, Ravens, Cardinals, Titans, Chiefs, Bills, and maybe the Browns.

If Tebow takes a year off to just practice his new mechanics and isn’t forced to drop his new technique in a game and revert back to his typical style he would be more likely to learn the new mechanics. I would hope he takes a year off and then plays in the CFL or arena league to work on his new mechanics before he tries the NFL again.

People seem to forget that Tebow hired one of these guys before the draft and he completely changed his mechanics to the point where Tebow actually looked like an NFL QB during his pre-draft workouts.

Then as soon as he got on the field at training camp, he reverted back to his old mechanics.

(1) He was already a starter. So, unless he plans on turning back time and doing this before Tebow unseated Orton, than it’s a moot point.

(2) It’s not a matter of “if”. We all know it can be done, in theory, but that doesn’t mean he will ever amount to anything. And why spend that much time on him? There are better projects out there.

(3) Why does a backup QB get so much media attention? He has done nothing outside of his college career to warrant this non-stop media drool fest.
