Tim Tebow will not throw at 2010 NFL Combine

Don’t knock the idea of watching a bunch of athletes run around in their underwear. With the exception of a few obvious candidates (cough Terrence Cody cough), I’m in full support of this event, LOL!

but he was projected #1 or #2.

The fact that the “experts” question Tebow’s ability to transition to the NFL is a good reason for him to actually participate in the Combine. Kids these days, whatcha gonna do?

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Jacksonville took him at 1st or 2nd round money, though? lol

The Colts, as a franchise, have been a supreme organization for the past decade.5. Alot has to do with Jim Irsay rectifying his family name, Bill Polian having a hall of fame career as an NFL team president, and the drafting of Peyton Manning. Of the three, only one will be around longer than the other two – Jim Irsay. If this franchise has any dream of being in the same category of decade-after-decade excellence (i.e. the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys), then they must take a realistic look into the future and make bold decisions that will impact this team long after Bill Polian and Peyton Manning are gone.

Peyton has 5-8 more years in the NFL. He’s 33. He’s about to sign a contract that could quite possibly be his final NFL contract. It’s time this organization begin the process of building a team post-Peyton Manning. There’s simply no replacing Manning. He’s a one-of-a-kind quarterback who revolutionized not only the position, but the way franchises in the NFL now look to build a championship-caliber team. So, instead of trying to put someone on this roster who will be able to step in and do all that Manning has done in his career is nearly impossible. But, the team has an obligation (if they desire the aforementioned superior franchise status) to begin the process of grooming a successor. We all know Jim Sorgi and Curtis Painter are career backups. They aren’t the answer.

While I’m no expert on who that person should be, Tim Tebow is a once-in-a-generation talent. He inspires, he works hard, and he won’t accept failure. His mechanics and accuracy are his two biggest concerns. However, they are two things that I believe can be tutored and fixed. He deserves nothing less than consideration to be a possible suitor to the Indy quarterback throne.

Look at Aaron Rogers. He slipped into Green Bay’s lap. They were, for all acounts, not looking for a Brett Favre heir. Brett Favre had just finished his 15th season as an NFL QB. He still had 4-5 more good years. They took advantage of a situation that has enabled the franchise to survive and move on past the Brett Favre era. Unlike most teams when they lose their icon, Green Bay didn’t have to spend 10 seasons in rebuilding.

Peyton Manning is entering his 13th season in the NFL. If the Colts are sitting with the last pick in the 2nd round (provided he’s still available), it would not be irresponsible for this franchise to consider selecting Tim Tebow. He has first-round potential. The Colts have few glaring weakness. Where the Colts pick each round, there won’t be a superstar that can catapault this team into immediate elite status. Luckily, they are already there. They have the luxury of restocking their shelves. Why wouldn’t they take that opportunity? Isn’t that the responsible thing to do for this franchise to do to ensure they have a chance for extended success well beyond the Peyton Manning/Bill Polian era?

I love Tim Tebow the COLLEGE athlete, but I’m one of the tens of millions that literally has no faith in him as a pro QB. So he can’t really be a bust if nobody believed in him in the first place, right?
I think with the way everyone’s doubting the poor kid (myself included), he’ll end up being some kind of elite QB that wins multiple SB’s and goes down as a 1st ballot HOFer. Poetic justice I guess. Then he can give everyone a big middle finger as his bust is enshrined in Canton.

Why is Tebow’s decision to not throw there a huge story?

that he is not throwing in the combine because he spending 6 weeks trying to fix his throwing motion. That is not a red flag. He is trying to help himself.

I also don’t think Tebow will ever be a great NFL QB. But you don’t need to gloss over the facts to support your premise.

“The logic is if those three guys cannot make you good, you suck and don’t deserve to play in this league”
Ha! So true.
But, I must admit I am one of the ones out there that really thinks the Colts should Draft Tebow in April.
Now, I want to make this clear, am a huge fan of Peyton and by no means think he is at the end of his career, but I think that the only way the Colts can stay hot after Peyton’s time is up in the NFL is if we get a guy who was a good QB is college and have a good amount of time to get him ready to start. Which would be exactly the situation if we draft Tebow.

With the Jags not having a 2nd round pick, if they select Tebow in round 1, they will be easy to beat for the next few years.

Shave that thing and keep practicing…
