I want the Steelers to draft Tim Tebow!

Re: I want the Steelers to draft Tim Tebow!

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.

I can't believe I'm saying this... I agree whole-heartedly!!! I love Tebow's work ethic. He's a Steeler kind of guy.

I'd like to see Tebow but only if Ben's future with the Steelers unravels. Plus, no higher than the 2nd.

Re: I want the Steelers to draft Tim Tebow!

BTW...Steve Young was a record-setting QB at BYU who was second in the Heisman voting that year & won the Davey O'Brien trophy as the best nation's best QB. He was then selected #1 by the expansion USFL & then by the Bucs when the USFL went bust - hardly what DD described.

Look, no one doubts his dedication, but to say that is the reason he will succeed is naive...after all, guys like Ty Detmer & Danny Wuerfel were pretty dedicated too. The fact is that he just doesn't make decisions fast enough & doesn't have the arm to make up the difference. He'll be a great #2 guy though...

so young finsihed second in hiesman voting.. good for him. tebow finished in the top 3 on three seperate occasions and won it as a sophmore. he also won a national championship as a full time starter. he also has several SEC records that may never get broken. And Danny and Ty were no where NEAR as dedicated as Tim is. He lives and breaths football.

This is why people can't stand Tebow... statements like this are crazy IMO. He breathes football and no one is as dedicated as Tim Tebow except for Tyler Hansbrough when he was at UNC.

The reporters say it so much that people talk about Tebow like they were at his pee wee practices... how do we know Tebow works harder then anyone else? Is it because he won a ton of games and never handed off at the goal line for 3 years?

The guy is a beast of a player but as an NFL QB I don't see it.


Big Ben was called lazy and a lousy practice QB and he is amazing on Sundays...

why is it ignorant to doubt Tebow as an NFL QB?

More guys fail then succeed at the NFL level so why is it so ignorant to doubt a player who looks average when the rush is on and the windows are tighter then normal?

I have watched Tebow a ton and he was tuck and run a LB over for the majority of his career at UF.

If Tebow pans out then I'm wrong... but saying a person is ignorant for not believing in Tebow at the NFL level is precisely the reason so many people despise Tebow.

Fans act like doubting Tebow is doubting Jesus...

Against the better competition he was not impressive this year..

and I don't want a player who cries after every loss.

the only game tebow cried about was teh SEC championship game b.c he knew it cost him a chance at the national championship. so.. if you don't want a guy who is so passionate about losing (essentially) the AFC championship game... have fun with that.

I get most of the brethren's assertion on this subject topic, no thanks. But I can remember people on this board wanting to draft Tyler Palko... this board is loaded with Big 10 enthusiasts... Birt, Ovi, Fla, and I are just some of the Floridian representation and have seen first hand what Tebow brings as far as work ethic, drive and locker room inspiration he's brought to a team. In a league full of me-first characters, Tebow is all about the team.

umm... not to be rude but that makes zero sense. What does Tebow bring that the rest of the nation can't see? We watch him play 8 to 10 games every year at the least and when he is forced to pass he wasn't impressive at all.

Percy Harvin and that double option with the TE shovel pass made Tebow look really good.
When you take away all the gadgets Urban Meyer has and he has to take a snap from center and make reads he is slow to get the ball out.

He padded his stats a lot at UF. Look at the number of RB's with TD's inside the 5 the last 3 years.. Tebow run up the gut was unstoppable and so was the jump pass.. but unless he is a FB in the NFL those plays will get him sideline time in a hurry.

I think he will be a great football player... but QB? Not so sure about that...
