His style of play reminds me of old school Joe Kapp who wasn’t known for being the greatest passer either. The main attribute Kapp had was that he was a leader. The guy was willing to go through brick walls if he thought it would help his team…In short, he was a fullback playing quarterback who wouldn’t run out of bounds but would hit a defender head on (once knocking out a Cleveland defender in the 1969 NFL Championship) to gain that extra yard. The question is: How long would he last in today’s league with that style of play?

Think he’ll be an H-back type of player. Of course, that’s all just speculation, so take it for what you will. Usually those guys have at least somewhat of an idea of how NFL general managers think, so yeah.

He strikes me as a guy who’s one of the best college quarterbacks to play the game, but will be just mediocre in the NFL. Just my opinion, and his worth ethic is insane, so I could be way off, but it’s just my initial thoughts on him.

Perfect example of why a good college qb doesn’t always transfer to being a good nfl QB. I guess anything is possible but I don’t see him being a successful nfl QB. He hasn’t spent his time at florida developing the needed skills to a high enough level.

While the “Wildcat” offense is still in style. He’d be a great change-of-pace QB in the right situation, and I really think he could work in the NFL…in the right system. I would envision using him in red zone/goal line situations, similar to how he was used his Freshman year at Florida. I don’t think he’ll ever be the classic drop-back NFL QB, but as the Vikings proved this year, you don’t even need a QB to make the playoffs. ZING!

u cant draft a QB based off of what hes like off the field.. then we’d be drafting a punter from god knows where for saving a cat in a tree…. hes got to have the skills.. which Tebow does not.. if u watch all of his throws… there is no power on them.. u dont see a single flat 20 yard ass.. they are all lofted.. and we know what happens with lofted passes

Bring him on board as our third draft pick!

I agree that he really might not have the necessary skills and might not be able to make it. But because of that work ethic he could be worth taking the chance.

it is always a risk when drafting a QB. No matter where you draft them, they could be great, or they could be a bust. Basically, I’m saying that I don’t think we have the answer right now in Jackson or Booty…. so why not take a chance on someone? Because really, you’re always taking a chance unless you trade or sign for a proven QB.

nothing would make me happier than Tebow wearing a Vikings jersey. Tim Tebow is the J.J. Redick of football; a player who has a niche in college that has enormous success, but doesn’t translate in the pros because he lacks important fundamentals of the position. In Tebow’s case, “complete inability to create his own shot” can be replaced with “complete inability to effectively throw a football” in the pros.

Imagine a competition between Tim Tebow and Tavaris Jackson. Just for a second. And then try not to think about how all the talent on the rest of the roster is being wasted. The Adrian Peterson-Barry Sanders comparisons would be endless.

I live in Florida and have watched Tebow for 2 years…great young man, football player and leader on and off the field-no question. Not your proto-type NFL QB and not the right fit for the Vikes system. How many run first QB’s last in the NFL? Not many as they just get creamed at this level. I say develop Booty, cut TJack and trade for a top notch QB like a Carson Palmer, Donovan McNabb. No more drafting QB’s…spend some money like we did with Jared Allen and order up a SB.
