Tebow Released by Patriots

Learning to block for the first time in your life against front seven NFL defenders sounds like a difficult task. As has been frequently discussed recently, all backs must block, but it is especially true for Fullbacks.

i wouldn't say it is a lack of talent IMO, the kid was a great college football QB. the problem is his game just didn't translate to the NFL.

in college and HS he never took snaps from under center, he was almost exclusively in shotgun all of the time. some people don't realize that when you take snaps under center your reads are a lot harder and when you drop back you have to take your eyes off of the defense and then turn around and make another read within seconds.

in shotgun you never take your eyes off of the defense and can see much better. never mind the fact that his footwork was and is atrocious which has a huge barring on his accuracy, even more than his throwing motion. in college you can get away with that kind of stuff because the windows you have to hit a target are much bigger than the tiny windows in the NFL where you need to "thread the needle"

tebow basically had to learn how to be an NFL QB from scratch the moment he got drafted. it was always an uphill battle for him to become a viable starter, a battle i and many others knew he would likely not overcome.

This is an excellent post and I agree 100%. He gave it his best shot and was a class act all the way. Its too bad some people are so small they root for a good person to fail, that's pathetic and that's why their life is pathetic.

I bet tim will never be begging on a message board lmao.

I make fun of him just like I make fun of every other media overhyped player that washes out.

Especially ones from Florida.

Good for you, doesn't change anything though.

Tebow has failed. It's time to admit it and move on.

I admit that Tebow has failed.

I wish him the best though.

I don't know how genuine he is because I don't know him personally but at least he appears to be trying to do good.
