I think I recently read that Tebow had about 4 completed passes for over 30 yards each in a playoff game, as a pro.
I guess purests consider that to be indicative of a defective throwing motion.

The week before Tebow went 6 for 22 for 60 yards and one interception against the Kansas City Chiefs. The week before that he was 13 for 29 with three interceptions against the Bills. That's indicative of a defective throwing motion. And an inability to read the field and react on the fly. During his 11 games in 2011 Tebow was flagged for delay of game seven times, more than any other QB, and almost never audibled. According to coaches Tebow's biggest failings was not his mechanics or his inability to read the field, many rookies have a problem with that their first year, but his inability to realize he had a problem to begin with and see to need to change the way he played the position.
Tebow wasn't a horrible QB; a lot worse QBs have lasted longer. But he was, at best, a backup QB and having a backup who the mob thinks should be starting is not the kind of position teams like to be in.
