Great deep ball thrower, world class speed, he reminds me of Michael Vick with better character and a lot more maturity. My only question can he become a great QB? Can he get the nuances down of the pro game? ..like Steve Young did. But the more I hear this guy talk the more I like him. Very humble young man who's got a great head on his shoulders. If he came back next year he'd most likely be the #1 pick. SO if that's the case don't ya think we need to draft him?

I don't agree with that line of thinking very much. Look what Denver did. They formatted their offense to Tebow's strengths and have won 6 straight. I think Shanny and Co. needs to pick the best athlete at QB with the most potential and work the offense to his skill set. I'm not saying dramatically change it, but do something to conform to more of their style.

I mean, what's the point of drafting a less talented athlete just to get someone that fits your scheme best? Get the most talented guy and make your scheme fit his style. You want the best players on the team. Not the best players to fit the scheme. You are boxing yourself in if you do that.
