--- Quote from: Shallow on April 23, 2010, 06:24:56 PM ---I'm not saying he'll become Tom Brady. His best comparison to a QB is a young Steve Young or Doug Flutie. People forget that the Niners Steve Young and the Bucs Steve Young were two different players.
What I'm saying is that Josh McDaniels thinks he can turn him into Tom Brady. He's got an ego. I'm not sure how Quinn will play out but I'd take Tebow over Orton any day of the week. And I also think Tebow in Chicago would do better than Orton did. So was it a good draft move? Maybe not, but maybe McDaniels heard in the wind that someone was going to grab him before his second round pick. I don't know, and I don't know if Tebow will even end up with a career comparable to one tenth of Brady's, or even Flutie's for that matter, but I do think McDaniels thinks so.
It's funny how when I bash Brady for being lucky for being on a winning team I'm a hater, but what Tebow has done in college is more impressive than any other QB ever maybe. In the Heisman race every year, national championships, bowl wins. And everyone says it's the reason of everyone on that team but him.
I'm the QBs don't win games guy, not you guys. Be consistent. Tom Brady fans should love Tebow.

Heres the thing about me tho. Im nowhere NEAR a Tom Brady fan. Ive always felt he was overrated. But if you believe there is a chance he could ever be on Tom Brady's level. Scratch that, say Steve Young. Then you also have to assume there is a chance he ends up Kyle Orton. Id say he is closer to becoming a Kyle Orton then ever being a Steve Young. As a matter of fact, my team needs a starting QB. And without a doubt I would take Orton over Tebow. And Orton sucks lol. But Tebow to me is more a PR move then a legitimate savior in Denver. Its like drafting Rudy.

He can be what Steve Young was in Tampa no problem.
And I never said Tebow could end up like Tom Brady. I said McDaniels thinks he can do it with Tebow. The odds of anyone reaching the levels of Brady or Young are slim, always. I don't even know if he'd be a remote success in the NFL, but his best chance will be with McDaniels, who is busy drafting WRs to help out his team right now.
The comparison to Brady was simple. They are both winners because of the system and team they are on, Brady in the NFL, Tebow in college, but when you doubt one winner you're a hater, and when you don't doubt the other winner you're an idiot.

I agree about the winner part. But you know yourself when Brady hit the league he didnt go through this very publicized makeover of his throwing motion. For a QB to decide coming INTO the pros that their throwing motion needs to be changed is pretty scary. I would never wanna risk a pick in the top 2 rounds even on a QB at that stage. Thats some shit you work out before college.
Anyways, the pick was still stupid lol. It was just TOO early. And for Tebow, Denver isnt the ideal situation IMO. He would have been better suited going to a team with a solid veteran QB that he could sit behind and learn from for a couple years before even a hint of playing him was suggested. Behind Brady would have been good actually lol There would be absolutely no pressure to get him on the field. He could just work on his mechanics, learn the pro game...and hopefully one day be worth starting. In Denver...there will be pressure to get him on the field.

& as for Tebow at Florida, he just played his part & he was a winner.
Tom Brady makes passes & you say "anyone can punt it to Moss"; Tom makes 40+ passes a game & Tebow makes like 15 lol.
if Tim Tebow can throw 30+ passes a game & be successful, i will take back everything i've ever said about him.
Denver should of taken Jimmy Clausen. if you're "so positive" that it's the schemeing that wins, you might as well get a QB that can throw the ball when called upon.

"he just played his part & he was a winner." Who have I been saying that about the past 5 years? Whatever talent I won't admit Brady has you aren't admitting Tebow has.
Tebow can learn to throw 40+ passes when 35 of them are under 5 yards.
And taking Clausen would have been stupid. Quinn was the exact same QB as Clausen at Notre Dame except he was better than Clausen.
What they get with Tebow is a first year Wildcat player at the least. And I garauntee in te McDaniels system he'll be throwing the ball 30 times. Look at Orton and how his number changed when he went to McDaniels. he threw the ball 25% more than the year before and his completion percentage went up a few points, and he was one missed game shy of 4000 yards after never being able to break 3000 before. With McDaniels and all these new tall WRs being drafted it's just that I think Tebow could be a successful NFL QB in a couple years, it's that I think any drafted QB could be a successful NFL QB in a couple of years.
Every QB ever drafted has talent up the wazoo. The difference for most is where they end up. I don't believe a guy who has been a great at a position his whole life all of a sudden starts to suck in the NFL, unless the system he's on sucks too.
If Tebow had been picked up by the Raiders I'd say he'd amount to nothing, no matter what, or if he was on last year's Bills he'd be a joke. But in Denver sitting on the bench and playing wild horse for a few plays a game I feel he'll be game ready by years 2, unless Quinn takes off like a rocket next year and they decide to trade Tebow.

you want to look at Orton? look at Orton & tell me how he did in the Playoffs last season with the current highest paid WR in the game.
Kyle Orton is better than Tim Tebow & that's not saying much; but it didn't matter who the Bronocos drafted, you were going to make the comparison to Brady regardless lol.
if Tim Tebow throws 30 TDs, fuck it, 20 TDs in a season, let alone 50, i'll be impressed.
& my personal favorite, "it's the system he's in", "it's the coaching he's getting", "it's the playcalling", "it's the system", "the system", "the system" & then a quick turnaround, "it's Peyton", "it's all Peyton", "INT? WR's fault", "they won more games in a row than any other team, but lost in the Superbowl; defenses fault". :laugh:

what are you saying? because i'm hearing, the system is so easy a caveman can do it; but since Tim won't be starting ahead of Orton or Quinn, why would two more accurate throwers fail in this "fool's proof" system?
i don't even see how Tim could be touching the field unless he was called in for a quick wildcat-ish formation to gain 3 yards & then sit his ass back down on the bench.
