1. Soon he will be an irrelevant tight end in the NFL.

2. Maybe, but as someone who cares not at all about anything NFL-wise.....
he's done well at Florida. 2 National Championships and a possible three. 2 SEC's and a possible 3rd. A Heisman and a possible 2nd.

Florida signed him to play at.... Florida.... not at some NFL place.

3. I think he could be a great tight end.
He's got the size and speed for the position, and he obviously understands how pass routes work. I think he's a long-term project at QB in the NFL.

4. 6:3 is not the ideal size for a tight end...
Remember---Tight Ends are linemen who have to block.

For instance---Jeremy Shockey is 6:5---250
Tony Gonzalez is 6:5...etc.

Tebow might make it as a 3rd down slot man and that's about it and I'd be surprised if someone picks him up before the 3rd round.

5. Chris Cooley and Dallas Clark are both 6'3".
Edited on Mon Nov-30-09 05:02 PM by BulletproofLandshark
I'd say they both worked out pretty good. And Tebow only weighs 10 pounds less than either of those guys.

EDIT: Ozzie Newsome and Shannon Sharpe were both 6'2".

7. I'm talking prototype...
The only block the dude has thrown in his career are on end arounds.

What---you think you can line him up next to the tackle and he'll shine?

LOL

8. Who said he has to be a classic blocking tight end?
Edited on Mon Nov-30-09 05:13 PM by BulletproofLandshark
Shannon Sharpe certainly wasn't, and he was one of the greats at the position. The ability to exploit mismatches in the middle of the field is every bit as valid a trait as pass and run blocking ability.

10. Word is, he's as intelligent as Sarah Palin.
Uses religion to make the fundies think he's smart. Anyone who put's that shit on his face is one, truly stupid, fucking individual.

11. That last comment makes you sound about as superficial and intolerant
as the faces of today's Republican Party. Congratulations.
