Testaverde says he and former NFL QB Chris Weinke worked with Tebow in April. "Chris and I looked at Tim careful and we were both amazed," Testaverde told Rich Cimini at ESPNNewYork.com. "Everybody has been focusing on his throwing motion, trying to fix that, but nobody had picked up his footwork. His footwork was all screwed up. Chris and I looked at each other after about four or five throws, and we saw the same thing. We got his footwork fixed. His throwing motion is now a non-issue. "He throws with what we call 'effortless power.' He doesn't have that elongated motion anymore and his head isn't moving 2 1/2 feet when he throws it."

If this were about any other young NFL quarterback who needed to develop, then Testaverde's comments would be at the top of every team's mind and that QB would already be signed. But it's Tebow. It's not about his skills, his intelligence or his work ethic. It's about the media circus. And the media loves having someone to crucify.

It's amazing that he could go through all those years in college and in Denver and in New York and no one see this footwork problem and fix it for him. What kind of coaches did they have???

That’s what this is about. The media is now picking who gets to play football. Tebow doesn’t fit what they want to push. He’s not gay, a wife beater, drug abuser or a dog killer.

When watching Tebow as a rookie, I, too, noticed that his feet and over all lower body seems way different. Couldn’t quite place it, but his hip alignment seemed more like that of a pitcher rotating than that of a QB.
