I don't know.. there are enough people guaranteeing that Clausen and Bradford are sure busts, at least it's a little more evident in the possibility for Tebow. I mean I won't be upset if he pans out, but I just don't see it.

And for the people saying he just has the desire.. that's true, but he can't be hopping around screaming on the NFL field after every 1st down like he did down in Florida, and there are a lot of guys out there that bust their ass that just don't make it. I could see him making it at some position, but who knows.

Smith's value is his versatility. That's the only way Tebow is going to be valuable in the NFL. I do not think he can play quarterback full time. He can help a team but it will be with his versatility. In my mind, he is a middle to low round pick. A team with an established quarterback could use him.

Yeah, basically a Vick.. without the speed or elusiveness, but more power.

It will take him awhile to develop into a QB if that's what a team tries to do with him. Other QBs who could run but who had much better throwing have had harder times breaking onto the field.
