i’m a Broncos fan. i debated every single day with the horde of Tebow haters why i thought he had a future in this league with the right kind of coach and the right kind of system. 2011 was a lot of fun. i still don’t understand the Broncos fans who didn’t enjoy that run, but many of them didn’t. don’t be fooled... most of the criticism of him is because he’s Christian, assumed to be republican, and an overall decent guy. this drives those on the secular left up the wall. quite literally makes them spitting mad to see him do well.
when it comes to football, the problem Tebow has is simply that he didn’t get all of those many thousands of snaps in HS and college to master the details of becoming a drop back passer for a pro style offense. so he came into the NFL, as a rookie, without that to fall back on while also trying to read coverages and learn the offense. he has a strong arm. his accuracy issues have to do with his mechanics. he also had a tendency to tuck and run if his first read is covered. all of these things can be corrected with time... so anyone who says he’ll never be a competent NFL QB is simply repeating nonsense they’ve heard from elsewhere. he can be if he has time to catch up on all that he missed in HS and college running those spread offenses. the question is whether he’s done enough on his own from 2012 until now to make him worthy of a roster spot now. if not, i think he’ll not get another chance. it’s now or never for him.
“to master the details of becoming a drop back passer for a pro style”
A boring development of the game.
