Good job, Raf. :up:
I was hearing this morning that Washington is wild card and while you and a lot of others speculate OT including our gurus, that they might look elsewhere.
What do you think? -
Thank you. I actually think that when all is said and done that Tebow will be the second best QB to come out of this draft. This is not a popular opinion, but I find that changing a throwing motion that doesn't modify the release point is not that hard. All they did was change his loop to make his release quicker. I don't think he'll struggle with that under pressure. I also think people ignore how many NFL reads he has already had to do at UF.
I do think he'll struggle with the transition to under center, like most spread QBs. And that he'll struggle with passing on time. But in the end I see a guy who is similar to Vince Young. He's not as good of an athlete, but he's still a superior athlete. And he's a far better passer than Young. The big difference is that Tebow has a better football IQ and a better work ethic. I don't see him failing.
With Clausen, I see a guy with great preparation b/c he came from a pro-style system, but not much else. I don't see a great leader. I don't see great physical attributes. I don't see a great mind. I expect that he'll be a back-up NFL QB at best.jim1 likes this. -
Great points. Here's a good read about Tebow:

p.s. take a look at the notes re: the Bills #9 pick- I'd cut and paste but the site doesn't allow:

Thanks, but it will be a couple of years before it's determined how accurate my Tebow analysis is. I guess I was right about Tebow going in the first and Clausen dropping out of the first. I enjoy doing the player evaluations more than the mocking though so that's what I'm more focused on.jim1 likes this.
