Why does no one think Tebow can be an NFL QB?

From what I have seen, he has the tools. He is very athletic, and very accurate. Plus, he has that fire, that competitive spirit that pumps everyone up. Why is he not being taken seriously?

Because he would get destroyed by an NFL defense.

It's been documented how low he brings the ball when he passes and his feet are somewhat jittery before he throws. dodgerblue13

Sport "experts" always get laughed at. Tjeremiah1988

Considering he's projected to be a second round pick, I think it's pretty hard to say he isn't receiving serious consideration. He will probably be the third if not second QB taken in the draft due to his raw physical ability and work ethic.

Because he plays like a fullback that can throw the ball...that wont work in the nfl he will take alot of big hits and hits in the nfl are worser than in college football the players are bigger and stronger

Because it is SOOOO easy to predict how college quarterbacks will do in the NFL. /sarcasmduxup

peyton manning was pretty much a sure bet, lol

He's not getting much serious consideration for being a QB in the NFL. He's obviously athletic so that's why he may go 2nd or 3rd round. He could be something else, I mean, he could run the wildcat... He could very well end up being a decent QB, but he's not getting much consideration from teams to actually play that position.

Well his mechanics are not good for one things. As far as taking snaps under center, it's a matter of learning the 3, 5, and 7 step drops and the timing that goes along with them, which can be harder than it sounds. There are questions regarding his accuracy. But, as it's been mentioned, it's hard to gauge how college qb's will make the transition.

Honestly, there aren't a lot of solid quarterback options in this years draft. Bradford and Clausen are the only ones who should get first-round consideration, and Clausen is arguable.

Why? Eric Crouch pretty much ruined the chances of scrambler quarterbacks from college making it in the NFL.

I still think Vick could get back to being a solid QB if he is given the chance to start for a team. And McNabb used to be a really good scrambling QB (he stays in the pocket more now).

Because he is a scrambling QB. Scrambling QB's do not make good NFL QB's. There have only been a handful of good scrambling QB's because most of the time they rely to much on their running ability and not enough on their passing ability.

Pat White, Charlie Frye, Alex Smith, Vince Young, Michael Vick, every QB from Texas Tech and all the converted wide receivers from Missouri. I can name bad scramblers too. Just because a few made it does not change the fact scrambling QB's in general are busts. and only 2 of those guys were truly great: Flutie and Zron were average at best.

However, Tebows problem is his delivery, which is so much like Byron Leftwitch's that its almost a given he will fail. Also, his arm is average, his accuracy is bad(that pick in the endzone he threw against Alabama speaks volumes about his NFL throwing ability: Hernandez was wide open, and Tebow couldn't hit him.), he comes out of a gimmicky offense, and his athletic ability and speed will not allow him to escape NFL caliber linebackers.

Its more a comment on spread-option QB's, and guess what, Texas Tech run a spread offense. They don't runas a rule , but they do run the ball more than the running back does.

Tebow Struggles at Senior Bowl with Taking Snaps Under Center, Throwing NFL Routes. Scouts are extremely unimpressed.

Its basic stuff. Taking snaps, throwing the ball. They are not asking him to throw routes under pressure or scramble and throw a forzen rope down field to a receiver thats being double covered. They are asking him to take snaps from center and throw practice routes most NFL QB's could throw in their sleep, and he is struggling to even do that. JaMarcus Russell put on a clinic at the Senior Bowl.

FB playing as QB in NFL?! No way.Bloodseeker23

Maybe a tight end, if he runs a decent 40 time...

at 6'3, 245he's built like a linebacker... but I doubt he could make that transistion.

Because he would get destroyed by an NFL defense.

Fizzman

Exactly, same as Curtis Painter, he is terrible maybe the Rams will accept him :P

Even then, there was a lot of debate in the media over whether or not the Colts made the right choice by picking Manning over Leaf.

Well now it comes out

The reason he didn't do that well is that he's been playing with a temp over 100 and strep throat

Today his temp reached 103 and he had to go to the hospital

Let's see what he does when he's healthy

did u see his delivery? His throwing motion? he cant even throw a slant route with that delivery or a quick out or in. I like the fiery attitude he has and he can be a leader, but he has too much to change to even be an average qb in the nfl. Running over kids in college aint gonna fly in the nfl. He could be a fullback but he too slow to be a tight end.

So maybe he can't be a full time starting QB. But, he could be a serious weapon all over the field, Michael Vick or Pat White style. If the Seahawks took a chance on him, I would be happy.monkeytoes61
