Tebow is still pretty raw and needs a lot of coaching and learning. By taking snaps, he is giving his coaches a lot of film to teach him from. Who knows if he will learn, but he certainly is a strong athletic talent who could excel in the NFL. My main concern for Tebow is his lack of accuracy. You can’t teach accuracy. But he has heart, works hard, and listens. I think he has a lot of upside and will be a solid NFL quarterback in a few years but who knows?

I think most of his inaccuracy is timing. He doesn’t understand where the receiver is going to be when the ball gets there. Of course given the way his ball flies you can see part of the problem is there’s no way to know how fast the ball is getting to where he’s throwing it. He’s got a lot of potential but if there isn’t dramatic improvement he’s going to need to switch. He’s got the skills to be a great RB who throws the occasional gadget play pass. I’d hate to see him go down the Kordell Stewart path, Stewart could have been a great possession receiver with some gadget time in as RB and QB, but he thought he was a QB and that insistence cut his career short.
