Hello readers sorry it has been along time but had to take a time out due to some issues. Anyway i am back now and ready to express my views and get some of yours.First i think i will start off with Tim Tebow newly drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 1st round of the NFL draft. Many people say it was a bad choice picking Tebow at all, never mind taking him so high in the draft. Especially seeming other QB rated higher than him in the draft dropped to the 3rd round.
But Tebow is exactly what Josh Mcdaniels is looking for in his players, Great character. Although character isn't everything,its what he seems to be filling his locker room with. So its is a good job this kid comes with a lot of wins behind him. Plus a lot of awards, I mean in 4 years with the Gators he played in 55 games, threw 88 Touchdowns and only 15 Interceptions. He also rushed for over 500 yards in his last 3 years putting him just under 3,000 rushing yards with 57 rushing touchdowns.
They are incredible numbers, But now this is were the problems starts. Can he convert that into the NFL, obviously the rushing yards will not be anywhere near what they were in college, Forget 15 Rushes a games think more 20 a season at most unless they run the wildcat a lot. Looking at his Passing stats he could be a great player, if he can adapt to the NFL. If he can then Broncos may well have the 2ND replacement for John Elway after trading the other (Jay Cutler) away, But i am sure if Tebow is as good as Cutler was for the Broncos, he won't be going anywhere.
My view is that this guy has amazing skill and he can succeed in anything he puts his heart in, that's how he has made it this far. But he is going to have to work hard at it, he has a lot of competition for the starting role in Denver. I think he can play in the NFL, not yet though he needs a year or 2 to develop and get used to the pace of the pro's. But i have no doubt he will be the face off the broncos franchise in years to come.
I think could take a year for him to challenge Orton. But that really depends on how Kyle does this year, he really has his back up against the wall. McDaniels may have come out and said "you are my guy, you will start" But every team needs competition and with 3 other guy biting at his ankles to get his job, he has to play hard and play well.
Critics say he can't do it,but they have been saying that all his life, you can't play QB in high school, you can't play QB in college. Now its time to prove the critics wrong again. He is going to be a fun guy to watch over the next couple of years. Thanks for reading please leave you comments
