So you didn't factor in his last two years of QB training and conditioning?
We haven’t seen the results of that. What we have seen is him and other QBs get “special training” from various veterans and take the field and still be the same old mediocre QB they were before. It’s technically possible Tebow could be the exception, but the rule is if you come out of college lacking the basic fundamental skills you never get them. So Tebow will probably still be a bad QB. He’s a nice guy, but he simply does not have what it takes.
How could I factor that in—there’s no way to see the effect of that as a simple fan. There’s no games, no practice, and no tape.
He was formidable in Denver. Josh McDaniels, the Patriots QB coach had taken him in Denver, and was probably his biggest supporter in NE. I was surprised at how bad he looked in the NE offense. Now, part of the problem might be that the Pats weren’t going to change their dropback offense, designed around Brady, to a run/option offense for the backup. In that style of offense, he didn’t look good. I was disappointed.
I hope his last 2 years has helped him out. He’s seems like a great guy. He’s a great athlete, but he might not be an NFL level QB except in a run-option oriented offense.
We’ll see... and good luck to him.
