Check out number 9 from this article.

This has been discussed on other threads, but I thought it was worthy of its own thread.

Thanks Slider...I've become a good internet "scanner" but for those who don't want to search, here is the blurb Slider was referring to...

9. I think you can write this in stone: Tim Tebow will not get past the end of the first round in the 2010 draft. I've talked to too many people around the league who love him. "He will not get past us in the first round whenever he comes out, I can guarantee you that,'' said the coach of one of the 12 playoff teams. "I don't know where he'll play right away, but I do know that he will play starting opening day, somewhere.''

No trolling of this thread from rad yet? WTF?

Srsly, tho, Tebow's too good of an athlete for someone not to grab him. Someone will figure a way to get him on the field.

everyone knows he'll get on the field. The question remains....at Quarterback?

not at QB

i like him at long snapper.

seriously - with his knowledge on THAT side of the LOS, i can see him being an asset on the defense ala scott frost.

True, but unlike Frost, he is a successful quarterback. He's also- and I say this with complete seriousness- a COMPLETE football player. The sucker just does everything (right down to instinctively using form tackles) right.
That's a cool blurb.

rewind the film on tebow tackling gerald mccoy after his first interception over the middle...tebow definitely needs the help learning how to tackle

i'll concede that he's the most complete that complete can ever be at this level...intangibles are more incredible than the physicality imo.

I still think you are wrong and that he can play QB.
