OK...let me add on to my training camp observation...
I watched Tebow get reps for a good hour that Monday and I came away with his throws are OK down the middle, much less accurate and the ball tipped upwards when he throws to the left...non existent anything when he throws right.
I just quickly fast forwarded from his work tonight...I can't find a pass he threw to the right...they ran to the right a few times...a couple of screens...but he didn't throw to the right...he missed long on a few throws off the fingertips down the middle as we all saw...and he wasn't very accurate or as accurate as you HAVE to be on throws of any length to the left.
It's his first real playing time in over a year. If he can clean up his throwing motion on the move to his left and improve his accuracy, that could be good enough to keep him as a 3rd QB. It's obvious they do not want him throwing to his right whatsoever. THIS is what the Patriots do, they maximize the part of a player's game that works and they shytcan the rest. Also, I noticed Tebow was thinking a little too much in the pocket...his reads have to improve..it has to be 1, 2 then break off a run. He was hesitating a split second too long and got taken down when lanes opened up. It's practice, practice ,practice. I think he'll get the entire preseason to work on his strengths.
I know the majority of us just want nothing to do with all this Tebow hoopla but in a vacuum, you HAVE to recognize he has certain strengths that are NFL level.Let's see where more hard work lands him...
