Too be honest, I don't think Tebow could have played in any offense... I think UF was the perfect fit for him... Meyer was really creative with him and that offense... That being said, you are right! A lot of talented qbs are overlooked and wanted as another position... All you really need is a creative staff that believes in you and the determination from the player...
At the college level I think Tebow could have played pretty much anywhere as a QB. JMO though.
Agreed. Truth be told, we kind of did him a disservice while at UF. Now I'm not saying he would have turned into an NFL QB elsewhere, but it wasn't really worked on.
If you look at him in HS he had a high, tight release and not too much of the side-arm motion he has now. A lot of schools like USC, Michigan, etc. wanted him as a drop back passer. But then he became a battering ram of a runner and the focus on his passing declined. We had so much talent around him that the passing game was basically lob it up to Percy, Hernandez, Cooper, etc. His mechanics got worse and worse every year at UF.
But you're right, it's college not the NFL. A dynamic QB is **** near impossible to stop at the college level regardless of offense.
