I'm not enough of a fan to evaluate his skill package.
Can you explain to me why he was (seemingly) successful with Denver after he took over, and yet "everybody knows" he lacks the skills?
He's a Christian - they hate that!
Now, if he were a gay Muslim, teams would be lining up to sign him.
None of the teams in that winning steak finished the season over .500. Also nobody seems to remember that after winning 6 in a row, the team lost the next three. And he does “lack skills” - he can’t throw (a major component of a QB skill set), and his mechanics when rolling out or scrambling are poor - reminds me of trying to cut paper with left-handed scissors. If I were a coach why would I want to build an offence around that? It’s my job to maximize EVERYONE’S talent, not just the QB. And why would I take my most valuable (and perhaps expensive) asset and make him get hit every play? That’s what happens when you run the option - and while Tebow may be big and strong, there’re a bunch of other guys out there who are bigger and stronger whose personal and financial success depends on them kicking ass. In college a physical, talented player can really shine - there are a lot of weaknesses on college teams waiting to be taken advantage of. In the pros, every guy was a star in college; the level of competition is immeasurably better. You may have been a BMOC at State or Tech, but in the pros you’re a commodity, and your value to a team and likelihood of employment is based on one thing, and it’s not what church you go to or your skin color or how many times you’ve been arrested, it’s pure economics.
