>>>I heard Paul Hornung , you may remember him from his playing days with Green Bay, talking about Teebow. The commentator asked what he thought of him as a QB in the NFL. Paul said, "are you kidding me? This guy is the best football player in America. He can probably play every position, and will make a fine quarterback in the NFL." I think he knows good stock when he sees it, so I'll have to come down on his side. Now, I have heard some Mel Kiper types, you know guys who haven't won both Heisman trophys and Super Bowls, talking about how Teebow won't be able to cut it. Time will tell, but if I were going to bet, I'd go with Hornungs assessment over theirs.

>>Maybe Hornung is one of those former players suffering after-effects from concussions ;-) Any position? Defensive back? Wide receiver? No in both cases; not fast enough. Offensive or defensive lineman? Not big enough. That leaves tight end, linebacker, fullback, and quarterback. If you watch his passes, he is not all that accurate past 10 or 15 yards. And that's in college.

>>It's Tebow, BTW.

>I don't know. There was another "winner" who was downgraded because he "couldn't make all the throws". Dropped all the way to the 4th round when San Francisco finally took him. Joe Montana turned out to be a pretty good quarterback. Then you have Jamarcus Russell. All the tools, no desire. Scouting is definately an art.

Agreed. Tom Brady was another guy whose predicted success in the NFL was not that high coming out of college. But both he and Montana were selected in the second round IIRC. Nobody is going to draft Tebow that high to play QB.

There are any number of guys who were great college quarterbacks, including a lot who won the Heisman, who did nothing in the NFL. At least Tebow has another potential position.
