Tebow vertical lept 38 and half inches today, breaking the all time vertical record at the NFL combine for a QB, just to give you an idea, Michael Vicks vertical was 38 inches.... But he isn't very athletic!!!

R u sure he wasn't bouncing off a trampoline?

That should help him make the transition to TE or H-Back.

He ran a 4.7 flat so he was the 4th fastest in the 40 out of 16, he had the highest vertical of all QB, he had the second furthest long jump of all QB, was first in the cone run for QB and would have won the bench if he did it.... I think he already suprised people!!!! IMO he will play QB.....

This is my view. Hopefully for him, he shows better fundamentals throwing the ball at his March workout than he did for his last round with the scouts but I wouldn't trust him as a QB.

TK,

I think he kid is a tremendous athlete, but being an athlete doesn't make you a QB. I'm dure that Dan Marino, Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, etc couldn't hold a candle to Tebow in any of those drills in their prime.

Just like I never see Tebow holding a candle to those guys as an NFL QB. Right now, he has way to many deficiencies to be a starting NFL QB in the near future. Maybe if he can stay with a team as a 3rd String QB for 5 to 6 years he can develop, but I just don't see it happening when he could be on the field as a TE much sooner.

Nobody is worried about his athletic ability, it's his elongated, awkward throwing motion.

A quote from NFL coach Sam Wyche and one that i agree with:

Former Bengals and Bucs head coach Sam Wyche is so confident that Tim Tebow will be a good NFL QB that he's staking his reputation on it. "If this guy can't be a starting quarterback in the NFL," Wyche told the St. Petersburg Times, "then I was in the wrong profession for a lot of years." Tebow said this week that he's changing his throwing motion, which was heavily criticized after his performance at the Senior Bowl last month. Critics have suggested the Florida product, who played in the shotgun-centered Gators offense, won't be able to transform into an NFL QB and might need to play a different position as a pro. Wyche, who's been helping to tutor the former Heisman Trophy winner, said that's nonsense. "Would I draft him? Absolutely," Wyche told the paper. "Sure. If he's not taken early, somebody is going to be called a genius for taking him wherever he goes." Tebow has the intangibles to make him successful, Wyche said. And the mechanics will soon catch up, the coach argued. "He's accurate," Wyche said. "He's smart. He anticipates well. He's a commander in the huddle. He has good footwork. … He has agility. He has athleticism. So many things are right about this guy." - Sean Leahy, USA TODAY

I just think people said he was going to be too slow, he was the third or fourth fastest QB in the 40, its not speed, its not athleticism if you look at the combine he and the guy from WVU are the two most athletic Qbs in the draft number wise, I think he could transition to Tight End if need be because he is that gifted of an athlete but I dont think he needs 4 years and all that to play in the NFl he will get where he needs to get and will play QB in the NFL IMO.....

And right after he retires from that, he can be president of the US.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-02-2010, 10:26 AM:

Tebow sure couldn't be as bad as the President we have now!

Posted by TampaKat (Member # 2109) on 03-02-2010, 11:41 AM:

Norm, he is for sure a republican and shares the same views as you on abortion and probably christianity in general, would that be such a bad thing????

Posted by Old Norm (Member # 1482) on 03-02-2010, 11:52 AM:

No it wouldn't. I just tire of all the obvious hero worship.

Posted by TampaKat (Member # 2109) on 03-02-2010, 12:13 PM:

I know and I get it, bu trust me I don"t worship any man. I worship the lord and jesus christ. I do have playfully self admitted man crushes on Tebow and John Wall. I just like how they play the game and how they conduct themselves. I know people tire of hearing about Tebow and deservedly so I just can't get the people that continually talk about how much he sucks. He doesnt suck, time will tell if he makes it as a good NFL QB or not, and some will judge that by different standards. what I do know is that he athletically performed at the combine better than I thought and others probably thought he would. He beat McCoy from Texas in everything and is taller and out weighs him by about 20 pounds.....

I agree that he is a good athlete, and will make it somewhere, at some position in the NFL. I have no clue what position he will play, and quite frankly, could not care less.
