Failure was predicted for Cam Newton by some as well based on:

1. Poor ball position at release
2. Poor footwork and
3. Ability to adjust to the speed of the game

Newton immediately after the draft hired a coach and began working hard, very hard on those deficiencies. I have seen nothing to indicate that Tebow responded likewise.

Sometimes it’s good to listen to the critics, they often have a point. You should certainly listen to them more than you listen to the people who say not to listen to the critics. If every football analyst in the country says your throwing motion won’t make it in the NFL it probably has a lot more to do with the movement of your arm than the cross on your neck.

It’s kind of sad. I like the kid, he’s a feel good story straight out of the sappiest sections of Hollywood. But alas there’s a reason why we go to the movies to see these kind of stories, they don’t happen much in real life.
