OK, now that I had my fun with the silly previous post, here’s a real answer:
Tebow seems to be a really decent young guy. He has been extremely gracious in handling the way he has been (mis)used this year, the way he never was given a chance to play regularly, and the way he wasn’t given a chance to start when the starter failed. In summary, he seems to be more of a “mentch” than anyone in pro sports nowadays.
However…
He shouldn’t be a NFL QB. He’s a great athlete, he’s built like a tank, and can run really well. But, his throws have no accuracy. If he was a fullback who occasionally threw option passes, that might be his best fit.
If the starter (Sanchez) was a better throwing QB, Tebow would be a change of pace. As is, a switch just changes a poor throwing QB who’s not a deep threat with an even poorer throwing QB who’s a running threat – this isn’t something that can cause a defense substitution problems.
In summary:
-Tebow’s a nice young man and I wish him the best of luck.
-He was 100% mislead as to how he would be used in NY.
-I don’t want to see him as my team’s QB.
-He may find success playing a different position.
