Let me repeat it again about our Lord Tebow.
To be a successful NFL quarterback you need a strong presence in the pocket and most importantly, you have to be an accurate passer.
Mr. Tebow falls short with both.
Number one: The dude has horrible throwing mechanics---and I don't care how much you train on fixing it---it you ain't got it by the time you hit the pros, you ain't ever going to have it.
Number two: You have to have command of the pocket. If not, your feet get happy, you panic, and then you try and run. Tebow may have been able to get away with it in college---but not in the Pros....linebackers running faster than you will get you every time. Panic also forces you to throw shitty passes.
Number three: Accuracy. The two mentioned above---Throwing mechanics and panic lead to crap accuracy. Check the stats below--- clear indication that Mr. Tebow couldn't hit the side of an airplane hanger standing 20 yards from it.
Over the last 10 seasons, no quarterback has completed a lower percentage of his passes (min. 250 attempts) than Tim Tebow, who is reportedly set to sign with the Eagles:
Tim Tebow - 47.9%
Ryan Lindley - 50.8%
Curtis Painter - 51.6%
JaMarcus Russell - 52.1%
Look---no one is saying that Tebow doesn't have a huge heart and desire to succeed. I give the guy props for that. BUT I've been watching football for 40 years and have seen good ones and very bad ones come and go at the QB position. Sorry but Tebow falls into the bad category in MHO.
Chip Kelly with his college offense might make a difference---but I contend that Chip Kelly with his college offense might not be the coach of the Iggles after this season. The dude is not impressing me all all with his roster moves, etc. He may be just like Tebow---great in college but not very good in the NFL.
