Running backs can play with certain injuries they sustain. His rushing yards came on designed runs that took advantage of his athletic talents.Ĭould an NFL team be successful with a quarterback whose skill set requires he constantly be exposed to injury by head hunting defenses by play design? The QB is the leader of the team and if he goes down, the hopes of the team do as well. However, Steve Young was a scrambler who would run when his blocking broke down.
#TEBOW ALL I DO IS WIN REMIX PROFESSIONAL#
Tebow is often compared to Steve Young, who was a QB that ran a lot in college and his early professional career and later had great success in the NFL. The effectiveness and frequency of his rushes also made the counters and options the Florida offense ran more effective since the defenders had to continue covering the QB in case he didn't actually make the handoff.Ĭould this be translated to the NFL where the players are stronger, faster and smarter? Tebow perfected this with his signature "jump pass". This causes the defense to react to stop the run, abandoning their coverage assignments. Notice how often after taking a snap he will take a few steps forward as though he were running before stopping and throwing. Tebow as a QB that was as likely to run with the ball as pass it was in many ways his own play action. We have seen one way of addressing this with the Pistol formation we ran with Tyler Thigpen in 2008. The difficulty of any spread offense is the difficulty of getting good play action on a handoff fake. Why Tim Tebow Will Never Be An NFL QBĮxhibit A - Tebow Is A System QuarterbackĪs with most quarterbacks coming out of college these days, Tebow played in a Spread Offense. As many of us are planning to watch the Senior Bowl this afternoon, let's get prepared to look at why the scouts say he won't make it, but also see how Tebow has responded to a meer week of NFL coaching. We hear the scouts and draftniks talk over and over about how, even though he has "1st pick overall intangibles" as Mel Kiper said, Tebow simply does not have what it takes to be an NFL QB. They talk about his poor throwing mechanics and the system he played in at Florida as reasons he will be a failure in the NFL. Most of his records have to do with his running ability rather than passing. They say that while Tebow was a great college player, he is more fullback than quarterback. They point to the pictures taken with large breasted women and insinuate that what could be happening when the camera isn't on might not be consistent with the morals he espouses. Then there are those who say Tebow's public persona is fake, nobody can be THAT perfect. They point to the University of Florida's record under Tebow, including a national title in 2008. They point to the records he's broken, such as being the first player in college football to pass and run for 20 TDs in a season. They claim he is perhaps the best Quarterback ever to play college football, pointing to numerous awards including being the first Sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. On the one hand, you have the fans who love the outspoken Christian, "goody two shoes" personality. All Rights Reserved.One of the most divisive athletes of recent memory.
