I want the Steelers to draft Tim Tebow!

[Dee Dub]

Seriously. This guy is a winner. He is as hard a worker as there is. He is dedicated to making himself the best he can be. He has already improved many things about his mechanics this off season and it has come from being dedicated and working hard.

I believe if he is put in the right situation....he is going to an above average QB.

And if this team is going to keep Ben...this is as good of a message to him as there is.

...and if they aren't....two first round picks (possibly 3), sure could go a long way to get this defense back to being the best in the league.

where would you want them to draft tebow? that makes a big difference. you are right about him improving on his mechanics. in all the workouts i have seen of tebow has improved even since last season. do you think he will still be available in the 3rd round? it doesnt make sense using a high draft pick for a #2 potentially #3 qb

Re: I want the Steelers to draft Tim Tebow!

I'm torn on Tebow.
I agree with everything you said. I think he's going to develop into a great player. and I actually think Pittsburgh is one of the best places he could go. He'd have time to develop here... and hell everyone knows I'm a gator fan. plus I'd be stoked to have actually met the qb of the pittsburgh steelers (I met him in gainesville and in bronson Fl.)
BUT, there are at least 4 players I'd take ahead of him... Thomas, Pouncey, and Weatherspoon, and Wilson (I think the others, like haden, mclain and so on will be gone)....

Second round.

Go look at Steve Young when he came out of BYU. No one had a clue he was going to be what he turned out to be. He didnt have the best mechanics and his arm strength was average at best. And Tim is just as elusive and as hard working as Young was.

Tebow is going up the boards. teams love how hard he works, how mature he is and how much he loves the game. improving his mechanics, IMO, only cemented him as a late 1st early 2nd round qb.

What if the 49ers offered the Steelers their two first round picks (13th and 17th), for Ben Roethlisberger? With those 3 first rounders couldnt you get all those other players you want?

Build a great team around Tebow where he doesnt have to carry the team....I kind of like his odds with that. Seem to remember a formula like that before????

do you think they would have to trade up in the second to get him? young is a very bold comparison. that is a lot to spend on a back up qb. i dont like that move at all with all the needs on defense. we do have 11 picks so i guess it is possible to make some moves and get two second round picks. a qb has to be one of the lowest priority positions on the roster right now. if ben was getting charged it might be a different story

I think that would be possible.... the money wouldn't really be a problem (considering you'd be unloading a 100M contract). Thing is that kind of neutralizes what makes Pittsburgh a safe place for Tebow. Sitting behind a great qb for 2-3 years (like young did in SF), would allow him to develop and keep him free from pressure..

He'd be better than that stiff Carson Palmer.

As a Gator fan you of all people gotta know this guys make up. In his 4 years at UF and all the big games this guy played in, you really think he would have a problem with pressure?? If Ben Roethlisberger from the University of Miami Ohio can can come in year one and succeed...you better believe that if the Steelers got back to power football and great defense..Tim Tebow could do it too.

The Steelers are not going to trade Ben. Be careful for what you wish!

now you lost me

trade ben?? he has two sb rings. tebow has zero. that is too big of a gamble to take. it is so hard to win a sb let alone multiple without an elite qb. sure you have some guys like trent dilfer and doug williams but they are few and far between.

I didnt say that. I said what if the 49ers offered their 2 first rounders for Ben. That gives the Steelers 3 first round picks. I think they could build a tremendous team around even a young inexperienced QB.

We saw this happen before in Ben's rookie year.
