Dilfer was in the NFL 1994-2007 as a QB. He might know something.

yeah, but he was an awful quarterback for most of those years. lifetime QBR of 70, very mediocre, more career INT’s than TD’s, only 55% passing percentage. Yes, won a super bowl but only because he was on a team that may have had the greatest defense of all time, or at least a top 3 all time defense.

Seems like a helluva nice guy, dont get me wrong, but if I’m looking for judges of QB potential, not sure Trent Dilfer is the guy I’m going to listen to.

On the other hand, 3 organizations including 2 that I’d consider quite competent (sorry Jets), have passed on Tebow, including one that is run by a HOF quarterback, and one that is run by a sure thing HOF coach.

Dilfer was a Super Bowl winning QB. Yeah, I think he might know something.

I'm all for Tebow but Tebow has to prove that he can read defenses and accurately throw the ball in 2-3 seconds with defensive lineman coming at him. Maybe he can do it, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see

If the NFL won't give him a shot maybe he should play in Canada for awhile. Former Heisman Trophy winner, Troy Smith is going that route.
