Interesting to see if Tebow will leave college to join the pros. I'm betting he won't, unless his family's missionary projects are in need of funds. What an awesome guy and and wonderful family.

I have a feeling at the Championship ceremony, all three will announce they are all staying

I’ll be shocked if Tebow leaves college early to play. As a homeschooling mom I have a feeling that getting his degree is a little higher on his priority list.

That said, this FOOTBALL-LOVING homeschooling mom (go Steelers!!! I’m sure that’ll get some mixed reactions) can’t wait to see who he ultimately ends up with!

Bradford is more of a pure passer, more like the typical NFL QB.

Tebow is a perfect college quarterback. He can lead the team, run, pass and make decisions. Also very good at getting an extra yard or two in open field tackles.

I actually think Colt McCoy is better than either tho Tebow might be more valuable to his team.

Football players have more than enough spare time to finish college degrees. It would be insane for either of these two guys to spend another minute in college football and if I were the coach in either case I wouldn’t even let them.

I hear the KC Chiefs, with the 3rd pick overall, want a QB.
I would take either QB. Although Tebow has an additional year of experience, I don’t see him going to the NFL until he completes his education.

Bradford will jump. he is being told by everyone he is the sure #1 pick, and that gives him 50-60 million reasons to jump.

Percy harvin will jump solely because coming back for his senior season is a risk. the ankle injury gave him a glimpse of how fragile the stay at the top is for his type of player. He will jump now while he is at the top.

Tebow will stay. he is at best a 3rd or 4th round pick, and he knows it. It has nothing to do with his talent, and all to do with the system he is in. Spread option QB’s struggle in the NFL. Don’t get me wrong here, Tebow is an amazing athlete, an excellent passer, and will one day be a fine NFL QB — But he will be a 2-4 year project as he will have to learn the pro game and how to play QB from under center. He will get some playing time — I can see him getting 5-15 touches a game out of a wildcat/shotgun formation, but it will be a few years before he is ready to be an every down starter in the NFL. Better for him to stay one more year, add to his resume and maybe up his stock a little more.

One N.F.L. scout said that Sam Bradford is a "no-brainer" overall No. 1 pick in the draft.

Detroit's problems run deeper than quarterback. They may not spend their Number 1 pick on one.

This guy must be a life insurance salesman for the Detroit Lions, who have the #1 pick in the draft. Bradford would get killed playing behind the Lions' offensive line.

If Messrs,Tebow and Bradshaw truly want to set an example for youngsters they will both stay in college and earn their degrees.

Bring back the STUDENT-athlete. Mr. Rolle from Florida State is an exemplar to follow.

Hard to imagine why he would not.

He’d be crazy not to go pro. One big injury his senior year, and he’s worth zip. Sign now, and everybody in your extended familiy goes to college for generations, the missions are fully funded, etc etc.

No braier. Finish college anytime, but grab the millions while you’re healthy, and do God’s work with them.

If I were Bradford I would delay. Who wants to play for Detroit?

Why would Bradford stay another year at chOklahoma?

In my humble opinion, Tebow would be a fool to leave early.

I like the guy, and he's a great college quarterback, but I don't think he's got the tools to be much more than an average NFL quarterback.

I think Bradford will get drafted, but Tebow will stay one more year because he wants to get his college degree (not to mention if he's back at Florida that team will be a prohibitive favorite to win the BCS championship again).

And, if this season’s post game interviews are any indication, we will have absolutely no idea what the hell either of them said after they finished answering the question.
