What will Tebow be the NFL equivalent of?

0 - Jason White or Tommie Frasier. Your grandkid will say "Tim who?"
1 (1.6%)
1 - Eric Crouch. Not an NFL QB. Not an NFL player. Barely a CFL QB
6 (9.8%)
2 -  Tee Martin or Adrian McPherson or something. Drafted as a backup, but still doesn't make it
2 (3.3%)
3 - Todd Collins or maybe Danny Weurfeulish Career backup
1 (1.6%)
4 - Chris Simms or Rex Grossman or something. Will tease and make some starts, and show some potential but that's about it.
5 (8.2%)
5 - Brady Quinn. Not your biggest problem on the team, but not really a solution either. Nobody knows what to do with him.
2 (3.3%)
6 - Trent Ewardsish. - Will play and give you a chance to win, but that's about it.
3 (4.9%)
7 - Trent Dilfer or possibly Chad Pennington. - Will do some winning at times. May get to one Pro Bowl, but not one of the best of his era
8 (13.1%)
8 - Matt Ryan/Joe Flacco or Matt Hasselbeck/Aaron Rogersish or something. Good from day 1 or waits his turn and does well. Good enough to do winning and give hope for big things.
4 (6.6%)
9 - Drew Brees or Phillip Rivers. A very good QB in his era.
2 (3.3%)
10 - Manning, Brady, Montanaish
3 (4.9%)
Not Applicable. - Michael Robinson, Julian Edelmen, Brad Smithish
5 (8.2%)
Not in these categories. More like John Beck or Patrick Ramsey. Just a wasted high pick most likely.
1 (1.6%)
Collosal Bust ala Cade McNown, Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf cause someone will draft him very high
3 (4.9%)
Doug Flutie. Break the rules. Change the game
15 (24.6%)

I will say this:  I'd rather have Tim Tebow than Caleb Hanie.  Without Cutler and Forte, the Bears offense is basically at a second-tier NCAA level.

Tebow had to thank Jesus, but I bet a lot of Broncos were trying to figure out how to thank Barber.

Barber. You were a tool for a greater purpose. Don't feel too bad. Lots of people have been Tebowed. You. Me. Everyone. We're all getting Tebowed right now. Even Tebow is getting Tebowed.

He looks a lot like Vince Young in his rookie year to me

I think a lot of people forget to realize that this is basically Tebow's rookie year.  I mean, he got what, 2 starts last year?  No one gave the guy a chance to prove himself last year, and this year he has his chance.  But it's only his SECOND year in the NFL, and the guy is 7-1 as a starter this year.  Now obviously Tebow's not gonna be the next Manning or Brady, but with some time he might turn out to be a solid NFL quarterback.

No....it really won't and it isn't even close

Not in a year where Aaron Rodgers is on pace to throw 50TD passes, 5000 yds and lead a team to an undefeated record.

Well yeah, but when was the last time a running back led a team to the playoffs from the QB position?

I don't see how he is similar to the 6 fingered man in Princess Bride at all.

Long and kinda interesting Tebow article here.  I've cut to the last paragraph here.

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7319858/the-people-hate-tim-tebow


The crux here, the issue driving this whole "Tebow Thing," is the matter of faith. It's the ongoing choice between embracing a warm feeling that makes no sense or a cold pragmatism that's probably true. And with Tebow, that illogical warm feeling keeps working out. It pays off. The upside to secular thinking is that — in theory — your skepticism will prove correct. Your rightness might be emotionally unsatisfying, but it confirms a stable understanding of the universe. Sports fans who love statistics fall into this camp. People who reject cognitive dissonance build this camp and find the firewood. But Tebow wrecks all that, because he makes blind faith a viable option. His faith in God, his followers' faith in him — it all defies modernity. This is why people care so much. He is making people wonder if they should try to believe things they don't actually believe.

Thanks for that article.  Fascinating read.
