As I said above, that is apples to oranges.
Actually, we have no idea if any other team would have signed him as an UDFA.
I don't really care. I am saying that the Tebow fans try to discredit the criticism with persecution, hater, or bigot comments. Discrediting the person making the argument with a strawman is the same thing.
Again, point to ANY example of this actually happening. You won't find it. If someone says that Tebow has poor mechanics and is inconsistent, they aren't getting attacked for saying so. Neither are people being attacked for saying that Tebow has trouble reading defenses or getting the ball out on time.
You are conflating objective analysis/valid criticism and over the top BS. The two are not the same.
If someone says "Tebow is very inconsistent", I, and most others will agree with them. If someone says "He's the worst QB ever", I'll demonstrate that the person is clueless.
He does not throw the football well enough to effectively run an NFL offense. You can sugar coat it all you want but thats the truth. I don't really care what percentage of his throws look nice, I just know that percentage is not enough to be an effective passer in the NFL.
If some decent percentage of the throws look nice, it means that he has decent/good mechanics/skills, but that he's inconsistent. That's something that can be fixed by spending hours out on the practice field.
I don't understand why you would take a player with numerous flaws, and those flaws being the primary fucntion of his position and hope he can be coached up (after many years of it not happening) when you can find someone who doesn't have the flaws.
What ? Teams do it for players in every position. You know, "Player X is entering year 3, its time for him to make a jump".
In a nutshell, I would not take a QB who doesnt throw well because maybe I can teach him to instead of a QB who can throw well.
Thats really what it boils down to.
I know you like the man, so your opinion is biased, but while as a fan of the player, you hope he can be fixed, as a fan of the team I'd rather have someone who isn't broken.
This one really depends on what else the guy offers. It's where those "intangibles" come into play. Things like mechanics and reading defenses can be taught/coached. Those intangibles really can't be. When coaches find guys like that, they invest in trying to teach them and make them better.
They aren't always successful, to be sure, but they believe it to be worth the effort/investment.
