Their not saying anything bad about him just pointing out that with a QB like him other teams will bring pressure all day cause they know he won't have time to think about all the fine tuning and will simply start using his longer throwing motion which will give the DE's a chance at swating the ball loose.

To me, that just means that Tim Tebow may need a little more time to develop as an NFL QB. Many repetitions of doing things the "right" way until the new way feels natural to him.
The reason he might warrant a second round pick is his upside. Just look at what he accomplished against top competition. He is a fierce competitor and a winner. He finds ways to get the job done. For example, he is able to shake off tacklers in the pocket and then move around and find receivers downfield. He reminds me of of Big Ben in that respect.
We know that he won't be overmatched physically, he's coachable, he won't be outworked, and he's a leader. There are a lot of positives in Tebow to justify his selection in the second round of the draft.
