FluffHead Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Anyone see this tonight? I thought it was really good. On draft day, Tebow's agent had the teams most interested in Tim highlighted. Buffalo was one of them. He said "Buffalo has been changing their minds everyday for the last two weeks" or something of that nature. Seems like we had a real debate over whether to pick Tim. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was interesting to hear after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 well worth the watch if they re-run it. I think he said Denver was the clear favorite to draft him and Buffalo was second, which turned out to be right. FWIW the Pats* were also highlighted. I thought the most interesting thing was the trade talk. He said that Denver had contacted every team picking from 22-28 discussing trade up possibilities the week before the draft. He also said that Denvers plan was to trade back from 11 and/or up from their 2nd rounder for Tebow - and both cases ended up happening. That makes me think teams know what is gonna be available way before the actualy day of. If Nix has a plan to trade back then it CAN be done. Please no more of this "but you need a trade partner" BS. The Pats do it every year and Denver did exactly what they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in Ocala (25 mins from Gainesville) and being a Gator fan i would have loved to have him on the Bills. After you watch this you can't help but WANT a kid on your team who has his mindset, trains as hard as he does, and doesn't let outside things phase him. I think he is gonna be a good one.

dayman Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Great show. Gota love Tebow. It's debatable but I think this confirms we were not trying to make a run at him later on in the 1st. It seems Denver was the only team ever really going to take him that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Coulda shoulda. TT is going to be a Hall of Famer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It was 'TV worth watching'. All in all, the show made a fool of McShay who repeatedly publically slammed Tim and proclaimed him 3rd round material. 'Shows' what he knows.. Had he been remotely accurate, Tebow probably wouldn't have gotten past our 2nd round pick. Also a Gator fan, I wish Tebow all the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grammer_police Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Coulda shoulda. TT is going to be a marginal player who lasts a few seasons and then crashes down in a haze of cliches. Missed it. I wanted to see the part where he walks on water. He's better than most people because he's on the inside with the Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsObserver Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Tim's agent said the Bills contacted him TEN TIMES the week of the draft saying they may draft a QB in the first or second round. But he also said they kept changing their mind. NO DOUBT in my mind if Tebow slips to the Bills 2nd round pick, they take him. No way in hell was Buddy giving up a first round pick for him. And also a Buddy Nix sighting at Tebow's pro day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats do it every year and Denver did exactly what they wanted. Do you think that Tebow's agent is allowed to tell Denver which teams have expressed interest in Tebow so Denver knows how far back they can afford to trade down and still bank on getting him? That's what I wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I watched it and thought it was excellent. I like how they always threw in McShay running him into the ground. Tebow is a grounded, humble, but yet driven young man. I hope the best for him in his NFL career and that he has success to the highest attainable level, as long as it is not at the Bills' expense.

I agree with you that he is the type of person you would be proud to have on your team. A lot of people are uncomfortable with his religiosity. I'm not. He is very comfortable with who he is and what he stands for. There is nothing false about him. Yes, there are doubts about him as a NFL qb because of his unconventional throwing motion. But what everyone knows you are going to get from him is maximum preparation and leadership. There are plenty of qbs who might have better passing skills but don't come close to matching him in an ability to lead a team. Whatever deficiencies Tebow has as a passer he will work like a demon to upgrade and will be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I saw it and thought it was a well-made show. As a fan, I appreciated his openness (and patience) with the fans that wanted photographs, pictures, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
