Tebow before Clausen and McCoy, any thoughts?

that he went to a team where he will have time to develop.

I think the kid is gifted and time will show that.

I agree, I was just surprised that neither of the other two had been taken yet. Good ol’ Notre Dame first round waiting game begins!

Josh McDaniels has been smoking some top shelf herb and I want some. To trade up to get Tebow just seems stupid to me. I mean I like Tebow but to take him that early is flat nuts.

Kiper and Tom Jackson looked madder then hell…I think Kiper’s mock draft was in the process of unraveling at the time, and the Tebow pick brought his house of cards down.

until they prove they arent ryan leaf i could care less.

but …broncos….you are going to be in the nfl basement for a very long time

1. Is Tebow going to start this year? NO
2. Kyle Orton…..more than likely the starting quarterback for the Broncos in 2010….and the THIRD highest paid qb on the team behind Quinn and Tebow……wonder how that feels? “Yea…..Kyle….we need YOU to actually quarterback this team….but….we’re going to pay these two chumps holding clipboards more money than we pay you……do you have a problem with that?”
3. Tebow doesn’t even look natural at all throwing the football……I just don’t understand on a team that NEEDS players to play now…..WHY would you pick a LONGSHOT developmental prospect in the FIRST ROUND??? I don’t get it.

1. Agree
2. Holy crap I didn’t even realize that. That right there is hilarious. Maybe there’s some hidden incentive like he gets a free case of Jack McDaniels every time he wins a game.
3. Because I truly believe that Josh McDumbass is single-handedly erasing that team. He’s starting from scratch so he can build his own team. That way if he wins a SB he can stick it to Bill Belichick. “I didn’t take Shanahan’s team Bill. I did it all myself!”

I am fine with Tebow going to Denver, he will have 1-2 years of backing up Orton andthen play. If this is the guy you want to be your QB of the future, that is fine.

but I do not think anyone would draft him before Clausen and he woul dbe left in the 2nd round. Of course they did grab a WR earlier in the round

I don’t think any of the QBs from this draft will amount to much. Possibly Clausen will have some success, depending on where he goes. But, I think picking Tebow in the first is a joke. He cannot contribute in the near future and you coulda gotten him in the 2nd or 3rd. I think I am going to mosey over to MHR and see how they all felt about it.

I think it’s slightly ridiculous that Bradford gets taken number one overall and I don’t see an interview or hear anything from him, but some QB that was reached for at the 25h pick had an ESPN correspondent pop up in his house seconds after being picked, who then proceeded to interview him and ask him the most generic questions and Tebow spouted the most generic answers — at least the kid knows how to feed BS in an interview. I can see him years from now, still throwing worse than Lord Byron, and just calmly going up to the press stand after the game. “Well, I’m really working on my throwing motion. It’ll take dedication, heart, and whatever else I can give it and I know coach McDaniels will see it this week in practice.” you think, Tim?

The “it only takes one team to like you” idea really doesn’t seem that correct, logically. If it only took one team to like you, and the team that likes you knows they are the only team in this scenario that does indeed like you, they could easily wait until the last pick in their draft to choose you, even if you are a first round talent. The fact that multiple teams want you drives up your “value” that is created on draft day and thats what produces first round picks… first round picks aren’t usually created by one team wanting someone, unless its one Josh Mcdaniels

Good thing it wasn’t us.

Everything I had heard about Tebow suggested that, because of his throwing motion, he was not destined to be a franchise QB in the NFL. I guess we will see if he is the second Phillip Rivers in a couple of years.
