Watching the tape, I realized once again something I first saw when I watched him play against Fleming Island for Neese. The ball looks big in his hands, which means he has a tight grip on the ball from the snap. I bet you can't see any air between his fingers, i.e., he's palming it. On one of his throws, you can see the laces between his 1st and 3rd knuckles on the release. While that signifies a strong arm if he's getting it 40+ downfield, he's still "shotputting" it.
As a catcher in baseball, my coach used to make me go out and throw long distances, i.e., center to home. That created an extending of the necessary short muscles to feel comfortable enough to fire off a throw down to second. He called it the Nolan Ryan Drill, because Nolan used to throw a football for warm up to tighten his inner arm muscles first, as they would be the ones that would help his fastball maintain its effectiveness later on in the year. It also taught him to release the ball at the highest point.
That's what Tebow needs, a schedule of how to develop the gifts he's got. His intangibles will endear him to every team out there. Many people forget that he was basically a FB for his first championship. He's got an infectious desire to win, which the Pats desperately need, and he'd be a fantastic community leader.
Oh, and by the way, we have to run in the snow. I'd line Tebow up in Faulk's spot, and let him go make snow angels.
