Tebow played decent in his few starts as a rookie. It seems like his own organization is turned against him however. So, what do you think?

I think he'll be a journeyman QB who can do some interesting things with gimmick plays. Since he was a first rounder I don't consider that a success. He was hyped up way too much.

YesI think he can be a successful QB in the NFL. He may not be the next John Elway but given the chance I really think he could end up being pretty good based on what I've seen him do so far.

I really don't think he has been hyped, quite the opposite I think. I'm pretty sure NOBODY believes he can succeed at the pro level.

If he has the support and an organization willing to develop him, he COULD succeed. He has very raw talent and he's flashed some serious potential last year. That being said, I personally don't think Tebow was worth a first rounder and I don't see him becoming anything more than a good player. I don't think he has the ability necessary to throw consistently at this level.

He actually surprised me with some of the good things he did as a rookie. I'm not sold on him as an every down NFL QB though. He'd probably be a nice fit just giving him his own package to run ala the Wildcat type stuff with a passing option. Just to throw another wrinkle at the D and give them one more thing to worry about. He can definitely be an asset to a team with his running and passing double threat.

Yes, I think he'll be fine. He won't be top tier level, but he'll be good.

Really haven't seen enough of him at the pro level yet to make a choice. He will get his starting chance for a season and it will be up to him then to make a good impression.

I feel that he will really need the organization to be behind him 100%, and it is clear that Elway and Fox aren't.

He was extremely inaccurate but looked much better running the ball then I thought he would...

However, teams had no tape on him: once they get some, he will be terrible... its what happended to Colty McCoy in the last 2 games of the season: there was film on him, and he threw 6 picks in 2 games and was arugably the worst starting QB in the leauge for those 2 games...

Against two of the NFL's best defenses to be fair.

He is a good QB and could be successful as a starter.

Because being a rookie and playing against a good defense had nothing to do with it.:?

I think both will be solid starters in the league. QBs dont make MAJOR strides until at least 2-3 years. I mean look at Aaron Rodgers, sat for 2-3 years and then BOOM! I mean dude was good coming out of college but he was passed over by alot of teams and didnt go until like pick 15-16. Tebow will be just fine once he gets totally comfortable. His mind is awesome and he has the physical tools just needs to keep working which EVERYONE knows he will. Colt just needs more talent around him and to get experience. Both will be just fine in the league.

It is possible for Tebow to be a good starter in the NFL but great, only time will tell that.

To be fair, Colt played against Baltimore and Pittsburgh in those two games. It's not surprising to see him play bad against them as a rookie.

Sure... If he finds the right team to play for, I'm sure he can be a decent starter in the league.

Tim Tebow is all Hype. He may turn out to be a good QB, but for now he has a lot to learn.

He was a QB that was quite popular when he was in College but all that success in College may go to his head and he will bring himself down by being alittle to over confident. but if he stays level headed he may actually make it far in this league i myself have confidence in him, he had a pretty good season for the few games he played as a rookie. had the longest rushing TD for his team that's saying something, sorta

At his very best I could see him maybe being compared with Steve Young type player who could do some damage on the ground while having some good qualities in the passing game, but that is if he learns how to make reads and throw like a true NFL QB. I am certainly rooting for him to do well, but I don't expect him to be compared to Tom Brady or Peyton Manning anytime soon.

he may even turn out like Brett Favre except a little better, but anyways what i mean by that is he may stay at the top of his game and go very far in the league but eventually he will get old and weary and just kick the bucket when it comes to playing.

I think he'll definitely be successful. He's proved me wrong many time and his character alongside his work ethic is admirable to say the least. I hope he does continue to get better, it's just up to his organization to surround him with playmakers.

No he will not succeed. He'll throw 30 INTs in a season if given a full 16 games to start And/or his team will go 4-12 or worse. He's got a weak arm.

The fakest personality in all of football and highly overrated since his HS days. He's always been told he's #1 but soon he'll face the harsh reality that he does not possess a cannon for an arm and if he tries his running crap in the NFL he'll get hit sticked onto the IR.
