He obviously was a useful quarterback and got run out of the NFL because he’s a conservative Christian.
Too many on here bought into the analysis that a Heisman Trophy national champion and NFL playoff winner had such a defective throwing motion that he couldn’t compete in the NFL.
The reason he wasn’t in the NFL anymore was the same reason a LOT of successful college QBs aren’t in the game anymore; his skillset didn’t lend itself to playing the position in the pros.
He didn’t get through his progressions quickly enough. He had a slower delivery with only average arm strength which made making some of the crucial bread & butter plays NFL QBs need that much more difficult and he wasn’t very accurate. I could go on. He simply didn’t have what it took to build a team around.
Had he converted to another position - again, as a lot of graet college QBs do - he may have extended his career because he’s such a great athlete. But, he didn’t have any interest in doing that...at the time.
Love him but the level needed for QB in the NFL wasn’t there.
Wished otherwise but it wasn’t in the cards. Hope e can make the squad in this transition. No matter how he makes it, I’d take it.
Let’s go taxi squad. 🗣
He never had much of a chance in Denver. The offensive line was a sieve. No soon had the ball been snapped and defenders were all over Tebow. He still got them to the playoffs.
Nonsense. He was a mediocre quarterback and was dropped for that reason and that reason only. Kurt Warner, Phil Rivers, Russel Wilson, Carson Wentz are all current or former quarterbacks who were unabashed Christains who made no secret of their faith. The difference between them and Tebow is that they could play the position at the NFL level and Tebow couldn't.
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.
