    Tebow: Soon the man without a country, so to speak.

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Not another "I love Tebow and he should come to Buffalo as a QB" thread or a "I hate Tebow and Good Riddance" post.

     

    I look at three things:

    1) Football intellect and ability to comprehend a playbook

    2) Size, athleticism, natural ability, and speed.

    3) Dedication to a team and competitiveness

     

    The kid can throw the ball but is erratic and unorthodox. If we were to interview him the first thing that should be said is "we are not bringing you in to try out as a QB but as a TE/FB". If he scoffs at the invite, so be it....but it appears the Jags are not interested and there are very few other suitors.

     

    I see Tebow as a possible Aaron Hernandez type TE where he blocks when needed, can line up in the slot or can take a half back position for handoff on running plays like NE has incorporated into their offense.

     

    His measurables are:

    6'3" (Hernandez is 6'2")

    4.7 40 yd dash speed (Dennis Pitta had a 4.72)

    Vertical Leap 38.5" (same as Jimmy Graham)

    Broad Jump of 115" (Jermaine Gresham had 113)

     

    I guess my only point is that this is a young man with a fire in his belly to compete and if you explain to him that he may not be cut out as a QB, he could still play a valuable role on a team as a TE/FB (and dare I say a potential 3rd string QB to have for emergency situations...no, not to possibly become backup QB...just as a 3rd stringer like Brad Smith).

     

    Let the unrelenting attacks begin!!!!!

     

    Go Bills!!

    Too funny. I had this same conver with a co-worker at lunch today. Not for the Bills per-se. He'd probably need to bulk up a little more, may 10 or 15 LB's.Anyway if he wants to stay in the NFL that might be his only shot WRT playing time. IMHO
