One quarterback who might have something to say about that is Florida’s Tim Tebow. Tebow hasn’t had the type of senior season many expected and has not taken the steps needed to prove he has what it takes to be a traditional dropback-type quarterback in the NFL. But that’s not to say he can’t be a successful starting-caliber QB. Look at what the Titans have done in recent weeks with Vince Young, who’s not a traditional dropback passer and is not the type of quarterback most NFL teams covet. If a team is open to using an unconventional offense for Tebow, allowing him to work from the spread, get him outside the pocket and run some power inside, there’s really no reason he can’t be a capable NFL quarterback. The idea of every team having a traditional dropback, strong-armed Carson Palmer-type quarterback is unreasonable because there’s a limited number of guys who can do that. However, if a team is willing to look outside the box and be creative with its play-calling, I think Tebow could end up having a successful career leading an NFL offense….
I think Vince Young is a great comparison when speaking in terms of a "non traditional" QB. Vince Young is very polarizing, and even with the experts. Those that watched Monday Night Football saw guys like Keyshawn Johnson supporting him and Steve Young saying he will have limited success due to being an "outside of the pocket" QB.the_lung wrote:From: News, notes on draft prospects

I actually agree with Steve on this one but only if you change the words around a bit...that Bama defense is going to pick Tebow clean next week...highballers wrote:...a little friendly wager?dlf_stevea wrote:Tebow is going to pick that Bama defense clean next week...
