Notes from Shanahan interview at owners' meeting

liked what he saw from Tebow, will look at top 4 QB's in person

comments on Tebow:

"I like everything about him" ..."I just think he’s something that’s very special”

"brings everything to the table... he’s just an off-the-chart guy. Those guys don’t come around all the time."

said some nice stuff about Bradford and Clausen

OT change is good, cool with it applying to regular season

wants Portis to report somewhere around 210 as opposed to the 220'ish that he was last year

I hope Mike Shanahan knows what he's doing. The draft isn't a sure thing, but some of his picks make you wonder if he's trying to prove he's a genius. Like Maurice Clarett. If he likes Tebow, I hope it's for some actual real rational reasons.

I don't see taking someone like Clarett as MS trying to prove he's a genius as much as he's just not afraid to roll the dice sometimes.

yeah & he had picks to roll the dice with. That's not the case here w/only 5 picks in his first draft. I would think he plays it safe for the most part w/the #4 pick, but he won't be scared to take TEbow if he wants in the 2nd.

I don't think anybody should be afraid to take him in round 2. Hell I'm not convinced someone won't roll the dice on him late in the 1st.

There's some things to be concerned with drafting Tebow, but character and effort will not be issues.

I don't think the interest in Tebow is legit...but I guess stranger things have happened

It can't be. He simply has too many holes to warrant a 2nd round draft pick. It's the media hyping this guy up cause he changed his throwing motion. Big deal. He's in a t-shirt tossing the ball around. I really hope we're not looking at taking this guy. Let someone else fall for this nonsense.

Could be just building value for our second round pick, but Mattyk is not the first to say that he might not make it out of the first. I think it was Gil Brandt, at least it was somone on Siriur NFL Radio that does know alot more about football than I.

Unless you are of the belief that Shanny like Campbell long term then there is no way a Tebow pick makes sense. He is more likely looking for a QB that can get on the field sooner.
