[ESPN] Tebow changing his throwing position and learning to be under center

I did notice he brings the ball down way too low before making all his throws. Making simple yet fundamental improvements such as this should definitely help. From changing his rather prolonged throwing motion to learning how to take 3-5 step dropbacks instead operating exclusively out of the shotgun might get some of these teams thinking he's more than just a potential wildcat/gadget play type player. I still have a hard time viewing him as an NFL quarterback, but I suppose the arm strength and intangibles are all there. If the accuracy improves I guess you can't rule the idea out.

 

Very impressive for an abortion baby.

 

I'm an abortion survivor...

Spoiler

 

So he is learning fundamental quarterback skills a couple weeks before the draft? Better late than never I guess

 

Aren't we all?

 

Yea tell that to the fan who has to have Tebow as the leader of their franchise..... grim outlook

 

i really don't see what the big deal is about learning to play under center or his throwing motion. this guy has a gun and seems to be tough and stable. that seems plenty to be able to start out with

 

Tebow's not going to be drafted as an immediate franchise QB. He'd be a 3rd round pick at best - probably much lower. The shotgun thing is an issue, but more and more NFL offenses are running shotgun spreads, so it's not a huge deal. The real issue is the throwing motion. That thing is a disaster right now - it just takes way too long. If he can change that, he has potential to be a functional QB in the NFL a few years down the road.

 

Very tangential and divisive for a sports thread.

 

Yup, this is the point. He really couldn't have tried to learn that in college? Of course he didn't need to at Florida when his main use was as a fullback.

This guy should just focus on being a fullback or tight end. I still say his NFL career won't last more than three years, at which point he becomes a figurehead for (corporation X's) (Name Your Cause).

 

Did you guys what Tebow in college?

He had like 20 minutes to throw the ball cause the Florida O-line was so good.

 

Good for him admitting the changes were necessary, making the adjustments and giving it his best shot. I'm not convinced he will be successful. He won't make it as a starting NFL QB.

BTW, I don't dislike Tebow at all and wish him the best.

 

He really just needs to be an H-back already.

 

He's an inspirational leader... he can lead his NFL team in a cry and "hug it out" session after every loss.

 

Probably hugging out some nutsacks too.

 

They couldn't tell from the fetus x-ray that he was going to have a weak arm?
