I agree. I think someone will take him in the late first (I'm still saying patriots will somehow end up with him) and just throw him in wherever he ends up fitting (TE/FB/backup QB or whatever).

Anyone who watches the Patriots play knows that Brady plays out of the shotgun ALOT!! I would estimate about 75 percent of the time.

The days where a QB has to be able to play under center are gone. Tebow will have a future in the NFL and it will be at QB.

If Brady didn't have his safety blankie (welker) I think his shotgun % would drop.

I agree that QB's don't have to thrive under center necessarily, but they need to be more than merely competent (ala matt cassel).

its all about the system.... when you draft guys you draft them because they FIT your system. a team isnt going to draft tebow and use him as a FB... i use to think the opposite, but im with nate... and believe he will play QB at the next level... and even be a starter.

Against the 3rd ranked Cincinnati Bearcats, Tebow went 31/35, 482 yards and 3 TD's in the 2010 Sugar Bowl. Oh...he also rushed for 51 yards and a TD in a route and Gator win.

Hobbled with a slow and poor throwing motion, Tebow set the all time record for total yards by a player...and only 51 yards of it was with his legs.

Tim Tebow will go down in history as the greatest college player ever and finished his college career in a dominating fashion. Tebow also finishes his career with the second best pass efficiency rating in college football history, behind Sam Bradford.

Great career indeed... I will be anxious to see where he lands in the pros, and how he will do. I wish the best of luck to him, for he is a great young man. I am not a fan of his, but I do respect his accomplishments and his ability. It will be interesting to see how he does.

God I hope Miami drafts him. It will be a thing of beauty to watch him run the Wildcat there. They are the only team ive ever seen truly commit to the formation and stick with it for a whole game.

Anyone remember the colts/miami game this year? Miami had the ball like 45 minutes that game. They lost because their defense was terrible, but it was still an impressive showing for the potential of the Wildcat.

And Timmy Chang finished his career as the NCAA leader in total offensive yards (16,910), most career passing yards (17,072), most career plays from scrimmage (2,587), and most passes completed in a career - 1,388. How did his NFL (and CFL) career go? Not so swell.

No doubt Tebow was one of the greatest college QBs ever, but so were David Klingler, Colt Brennan, and Graham Harrell. Conversely, one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks - Tom Brady - did virtually NOTHING in college.

College play sometimes means ZILCH for an NFL prospect. And a lot of talent scouts aren't even thinking of Tebow as a QB - they think he's a TE at the next level. That should say everything.

Im not saying his college success will mean anything for the pro game but come on Timmy Chang? Him and Brennan from the WAC that play a bunch of nobodies. Not to say that good QB's haven't come from some lower tier schools before but it's not like they had the physical talents to be a NFL QB. Tebow at least has the arm strength to compete. He needs a lot of tweaking with his mechanics and footwork but his arm strength is more than adequate...those others not so much.

how many times did he throw the ball that game? urban meyer threw it that much for one purpose only.. to show scouts what tebow could do throwing... mechanics can be taught. will it be hard? sure it will, but this wont be the end of tebow.

That's what I thought too as I was watching the game.
