There have been many ideas as to who should be considered the best, most NFL-ready quarterback in this year's draft. Most experts and analyists would boil it down to 2 prospects: either Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen.
But in my opinion, no other quarterback stands out more for me than the one that no one expects to make an impact: Tim Tebow.
Sure, he stands out in COLLEGE football history because he ran for tons of touchdowns. Sure, he doesn't have the greatest arm in the world. Sure, he only won the Heisman in his sophomore year (a first by the way). He tore defenses apart during his run as Florida's quarterback. And when the passing lanes weren't open, he made defensive backs look slow and linebackers look like they were still in Pop Warner. Now it may not be that easy when he finally hits the NFL considering the speed and tackling ability of defensive players, but the type of player he is will allow him to elevate his level of play whenever his opposition becomes stronger. He is an outstanding player with all the physical tools as well as the mental ones to become a key component to any team's offense. In my opinion, he should be a top 10 pick. That, unfortunately, most likely will not happen due to many critics peeception that he is unproven as a throwing quarterback.
Others may argue that his display in the Senior Bowl is a bad sign, but I doubt there is a single player in the history of the NFL that has never had a poor game. Tebow will show up at the combine ready to provide a much better idea of the amazing potential that he holds as a quarterback than was shown at the Senior Bowl.
His work ethic is exceptional, shown by his dedication to becoming more comfortable taking snaps unders center before the Senior Bowl. He will work on any facet of his game that needs it and should become a starting quarterback in the NFL within three years.
Just check this out.
