[...] "He is actually getting better every day," offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said on Wednesday. "He works extremely hard. He is getting comfortable in what we do. He is having more good plays than bad plays out here. He is doing a very good job."
[...] Now with the Eagles, and after spending two years working on his throwing motion, quarterbacks coach Ryan Day said he can see the hard work Tebow put in paying off.
"He is working hard out here just like everyone out. He has some good throws, some throws he wants to get back," Day said. "But he is working hard to change his throwing motion, and every day he is getting better."
[...] It is clear that he is the best athlete among the quarterbacks, and has tucked the ball down a few times during seven-on-seven and 11-on-11 drills. He has also displayed a strong arm. [...]

I saw him play pre-season for the Pats, and he was the most inaccurate QB I can remember.
Hopefully that’s changed, although it seems like something you’re born with. It’s not for lack of training.

He has some good throws, some throws he wants to get backWe've got Cam Newton, a mediocre passer IMO and he just signed for $102 M for 5 years.

Have the Eagles started throwing guitars during their concerts? Never mind that - can Tebow actually play an instrument?

And he still threw the winning TD in his last game for them. He has a pretty good record for the most most inaccurate QB, ever.

The problem is he can’t be thinking about his throwing motion while playing, and there is always a tendency to revert to old habits when under pressure.

Time will tell. Barring disaster I don't expect him to need to throw a pass farther than 2 yards any time soon.

I just may become an Eagles fan again. My family lived in Philadelphia since 1785. We all left in the 90's. After Richie Kotite and then the era of Michael Vick, I swore the team off.
I followed Reggie White's lead. I moved to Green Bay. Actually did move there, not just followed the team.

I read he has hired private coaches to help him fix his throwing motion, so who knows?

You need to understand something...
The rock group is the Eagles.
The NFL team is Da Iggles.

Its not for lack of training.It is not talent. Michael Jordan - possibly the best athlete ever - could not hit a fastball. It is because he didn't spend hours hitting balls as a child. I'd like to see Tebow make it. I wouldn't bet on it. Either way.

It was the curveball that undid MJ’s nascent baseball career. He had been a very good youth player, then dropped the little white ball for the big orange one.

Actually, there is a chance Tebow could be used in the type of fast-paced, short-pass offense Chip Kelly runs. He could be very effective with the new two-point conversion just adopted by the NFL.
