Real World

What do you guys think Tebow's NFL prospects are? Is he a QB at the pro level? Could he succeed there? Is he a FB, H-back, or maybe a TE? Does he even have an NFL career ahead of him? He's listed at 6'3 & 235 lbs, with a 4.5/4.7 - 40 time. After the Vince Young flop, will a team invest a high pick in Tebow as a QB? I personally don't think so, but I'm curious how others in here see him.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."

He's definitely not a QB with the offense Urban Meyer runs and the ducks he throws. Good arm for most part, great accuracy, NO TOUCH. And I'm a Gator fan, mind you. I do think he'll be a very good NFL tight end though. He's too atheletic not to go into the league.

He'll never be a success at quarterback in this league.

Exciting to watch at College level, but he's just not got the game for a pro QB.

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

Mind you, can you imagine running the Wildcat with him in there assuming he's drafted as a receiver or TE (hypothetically)?

That would be fun and games.

He is a winner, I would draft him. Look at the crap there is in the NFL at the Qb position, he would at least be middle of the road with big upside.

I can't see him being a starting NFL QB. He just doesn't throw it that well and he isn't going to be a big time runner in the NFL.

What does work in his favor is the NFL has seemingly found a better way to use versatile athletes like Tebow as role players on offense in recent years. I'd expect him to be a day 2 pick and project in that type of role.

I was very impressed by his accuracy in the SEC championship. I think he can learn touch, but accuracy is a rare quality.

Metaphors

I can see him being drafted as a QB if the team planned on using his particular skills. The quadruple option at UF (run, quick forward pitch, outside pitch, traditional pass) suits him perfectly. Of course he would have to run less on Sundays than he does on Saturdays to avoid injury.

So while I think it is possible, I'm not sure there is a coach willing to implement an offense that would be optimal for Tebow. As a side note, I believe O'Connell was drafted to run more of a spread offense rather than be a pocket passer.

i think his only position in the NFL would be TE. I am sure he would need a tone of coaching, but some other college QBs have made the transition to TE and WR. I will say TE

See Alex Smith of San Fran for an idea of how Tebow would do in the NFL.
