Sign in to disble this ad
And what round will he be drafted in?
I'll construct this poll so we'll be able to vote on both. [Multiple voting is a feature of this poll.]
--Let's try to make one vote for which NFL draft round Tebow will be selected.
--One vote for position, but this rule is flexible, as Tebow could end up in several different roles.
Let's have fun. [I'll need five minutes to construct the poll.]

Like McNabb, he will have injury problems. That is the downside of being so big and strong; there is a tendency to assume he can run over anybody instead of juking or running out of bounds.

I see Tebow as a Mike Alstott type FB.
I voted 2nd round/FB.

He's not good enough to be an NFL QB or RB, but he'll probably make it to the last round of cuts so he has a chance to play in a couple pre-season games. Don't be surprised if the team he goes to camp with plays a couple pre-season games in the state of Florida.

Yes it is.
Mods, will you please make this a public poll?

-Mike | Alstott was and is overrated, but i still appreciate his efforts.
Tebow is a tank with an unrelenting desire to win. He'll be a good FB or H-back, like that cat from the Redskins.

|  | Johnny and Joe | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Chicago | | I'm a huge Gators fan and (of course) a huge Tebow fan. I used to believe he could make it as a QB in the NFL. His numbers are great, he's remarkably efficient. He's having an off year in 2009--but his passer rating this season is still better than #1 overall pick Matthew Stafford's in his BEST year.  And that's before taking into account his much-noted running ability.
But his throwing motion is just painful to watch. The leg kick, and especially the way he starts his throws so low, will most likely hurt him badly in the NFL. I think he gets a shot at QB for a season (OK, this may be optimistic) and a season at FB. If he works out like a maniac--and we know he can do that--maybe he has a few years as an FB.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Wisconsin | | | I voted 3rd round and as a FB, but I can see him going late 2nd round still as a FB. I really don't think he has what it takes to be a QB in the nfl, or much of a FB. If he works hard he has a shot as FB but not QB. IMO

|  | *******er Emeritus(does anyone remember that? No?) | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Houston, Texas | | | I see him going as either a passing-situation TE or a slot receiver. Maybe some HB situations.
He'll probably go in round 5 or 6.

I think he's an excellent play-caller and has a lot of speed and strength, but he throws some squirrely passes a lot.

|  | One lab accident away from being a supervillain | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Powder Springs, Ga | | | He'll go in the first round. I have no doubt about that. The press and the lack of legit starter QBs will see to that (I'm looking at you Browns, Chiefs, Raiders, Seahawks, Redskins, and Vikings once Favre's gone).
Some team will give him a shot as a QB and he will fail. After that I believe he will have a decent career as a FB.

Everyone says he has a great attitude and works his tail off. Your opinion wouldn't have anything to do with your location, would it?

Tebow dinks and dunks so it stands to reason is his passer rating would look good on paper.
The guy is just a warrior. Perfect to build your college team around. I just don't think he'll get a shot to play QB in the NFL. He would get carted off the field in his first pre-season game with his "current" style of play. I don't think he has the arm for the long out routes plus I think he takes too long to get his reads. His talent allows him to slip away and that would not happen on Sundays...
He's a winner and will be no matter what path he chooses in life. I just don't think it will be in the NFL.

Also, Stafford had Georgia receivers and a Georgia O-line, where Tebow got to play with the Florida guys.
He'll play backup/wildcat/3rd down QB, or not much at all, IMO. When he does get on the field, it won't be like college.
