Tebow or McCoy?

[Son Of Man]

Colt McCoy.....holds collegiate record in career victories, the focal point of the offense and universally recognized as THE team leader.

Tim Tebow.....2 National Championships, 1 Heisman Trophy (3 time finalist), the focal point of the offense and universally recognized as THE team leader.


Either way we go our franchise will have THE team leader for the next 15 years. Log it!

I would take Tebow in a heartbeat over Colt for reasons I've stated ad nauseum.

Tebow has never lost a sock.

I don't believe either one of these guys could can get it done in the NFL. So I didn't vote for either one.

[mredskins]

I mentioned this before but if the Skins draft Tebow it will divde this board big time. Look at the voting. you will have to make an avatar of Punchy wearing the number 15.

I'm not sure we could draft someone that the board will be 100% behind. Every player seems to have their share of supporters and doubters.

THe only hyped up QBs during the draft in say the last what 10-15 years to produce a Lombardi both were named Manning. McNabb came close, but no cigar. Still, my point is the percentage of these overhyped college QBs making it isn't so hot. You mean to tell me all of a sudden at his pro day Tebow improved his mechanics? Bradford looked like a god at his? Sorry folks, I do watch college football. Tebow looks more like a game manager than a real QB when I watched him in the big games, and that is what he will be facing just about every week in the NFL in the age of parity. Bradford is the only one that has a real good shot at franchise status, but he too benefitted from playing on a stacked team in a conference that had a down year overall(TX ran away with it) and not known for solid defensive play. As for Clausen, he did play on a decent team, that underachieved, and ND kindly declined the bowl bid(the honorable thing to do). If anybody wants Clausen, might as well look at Lefevour, Stull, Kafka, Crompton, etc. I mean seriously. Shuler was the #1 stud and we got Frerotte in the seventh. Who ended up being the starter and making the pro bowl? Limiting ourselves to just the QBs that garner the headlines because they are on bigtime programs is absurd and can hurt us in the quest for a true franchise QB.

One of the most knowledgeable comments I've seen on this board regarding Tebow, McCoy and Bradford. I have to disagree about Clausen. The defenses that ND had while he was there were horrible, they could never stop anyone, it was pathetic. In my opinion, I think he is the most NFL ready QB coming out this year, without a doubt. If he gets picked up by a team that has some talent (Redskins), he will do very well.

Oh but Tebow is special.

[murphy196]

If we draft Tebow before the 5th round, I will lose all respect that I have gained so far this off season for our front office. The guy is a 3 yr project!!!! He is NOT an NFL QB!!!

I wouldnt really want either of these QBs but if I have to pick I take McCoy. He's more of a pro-style QB while TT is a college style QB that I dont think has the accuracy needed to succeed in the pros.

Ditto.

that's what I'm talking about Ryan Mallett should be who we are targeting next year, and build the line this year..

Agreed. And being a Florida alum and HUGE fan, I obviously have my Tebow biases. I do have my doubts about him though. I've maintained all along that he needs to sit for at least one season, probably two before he's ready to play pro ball.

As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, Tebow is less of a risk than a guy like McCoy because of his athleticism. He's big, fast, very strong, and has a 38 inch vertical. Even if he doesn't work out at QB, he can still be a good HB, special teamer, and wildcat player. If any of the other top QB prospects bust, they are destined to be nothing more than a clipboard holder, or out of the league all together.

I think Okung or Suh would be close to 100% in approval. But after that, someone is always going to hate the pick.

[IrMitchell]

Neither! Colt McCoy won't have an impact till atleast 2012 (I would say much later) and Tim Tebow will not fall to us. I just read something online saying that the Saints were considering Tebow with their low 1st. That makes sense seeing they have no QB worries for the next few years so why not?

[mredskins]

Tebow even does wedding engagements, the guy has talent!
