Bill Polian on Tebow

[Demon]

Maybe this will change some peoples thoughts on Tim Tebow. Bill Polian doesn't seem very high on him.

"If you were going to run the Wildcat offense enough to say that you needed a specialized Wildcat quarterback to do it, who could both run the ball and withstand the pounding that you have to take in the National Football League and throw it effectively, I think Tim Tebow would be a heck of a guy. If you're going to take your offense and say, 'We're going to do what the Miami Dolphins do; we're going to run this 45, maybe 50%, maybe 60% of the time,' then he's the perfect guy for you. I don't know where you'd take him in the draft, but he fits perfectly there. I've heard other people say he could be a great goal-line and short-yardage running back. I believe that to be the case. I've heard people say they think he can be a very good tight end. I believe that would be the case. I don't know how he catches the ball, but I presume and think he's a good enough athlete that that would not be a problem."

Re: Bill Polian on Tebow

No surprise. A lot of people have said similar things about Tebow. I think there are at least a few teams that are probably high enough on Tebow as a QB that he'll get taken high, probably in the first round, but you take a huge chance when a guy doesn't fit the mold at a given position, especially QB.

Re: Bill Polian on Tebow

Thats pretty much exactly what Ive been saying about Tebow since the beginning. He is a great athlete, could possibly do well in the wildcat or as a tight end, full back, running back type player, but he is not a pro quarterback and will not go in the first round.

I honestly don't really care about Tebow...he's not an NFL QB. Great college player, but I don't think he'll be a QB in the NFL.

he will be the focus of the draft...and how far he slides...

I didn't think he was that great of a college QB honestly.

I hear ya...notice that I said, "great college player", not college QB. He just doesn't throw the ball well. Tough as nails, but not a QB.

Watch some team pick him higher just for the media attention...it happens every year.

it is the old story...put him on (fill in your favorite 3-9 college team) and he is incredibly average...if that.

Oakland will pick Clausen and that will be the end of Tebow's chances in the first round.

C'mon Eb.

The guy is a tremendous college player. Just fantastic. One of the best ever.

He is not close to a NFL QB, but his college credentials are superb.

I know you don't like him, but give him his respect.

he is on a very well stacked Florida team...how much of "him" is because of the "team"?

He can run, I will give him that but Zach Maynard of UB threw for more yards...Todd Reesing of Kansas threw for more yards. Tebow didn't throw a lot of interceptions otherwise his ratings would be no better than those two.

his record of rushing TDS (surpassing herschel walker) most likely had absolutely nothing to do with that success IMHO

God Bless.

Re: Bill Polian on Tebow

its nice to know Polian thinks exactly almost word for word what i think about him.

It's nice to know my eye for talent is spot on. lol

Seriously though, there is no better evaluator of talent then Bill Polian, if he says it, it is gospel.
