Flutie went to the NFL first and could not get a shot. He came and was also dominant with several different teams. Both players were substantially better in the NFL than Tebow will ever be.
What does "black style" mean?
If you mean "running" Flutie was ebony to Moons ivory in college.

Flutie had twice the rush yardage as Moon had in college and CONTINUED to run a bunch as a pro.
Moon had a whopping 1.8 yards per rush. Moon was no Mike Vick.

The truth is the NFL passed on Moon because he was black, nothing whatsoever to do with style of play.
