I went with Tebow, to good of a year for him not to get it. Mcfadden had a couple bad games, that will hurt his chances. Brennans season was just as good as Tebows, but the fact that tebow plays in a much more difficut conference than Brennan..that gives Tebow the edge.

Tebows #'s:

3,132yds passing 29TDs 6 INTs 68% comp percentage

838yrds rushing 22 TDs 4.3 YPC

McFaddens #'s:

1,725yrds rushing 15 TDs 5.7 YPC

123yrds passing 4TDs

So in order to make it in the NFL you have to perform poorly?

The number of great college QB's who've flamed in the NFL makes for a long list. I thought the same thing of Troy Smith (that he wouldn't make a good NFL QB), so far that looks like the case.

Actually, you should be very familiar with this fact A. I can think of a lot of Florida and Florida State QB's who tore up the college ranks, only to go on to have poor NFL careers at best. Danny Weuffel (spelling??), Grossman, Weinke, Leak...etc...etc...

It's just a different game, Tebow's scrambling ability won't cut it in the NFL, and I don't think he's got the pocket presense to carry him at the next level. But he is only a sophomore and he's surprised me to this point so maybe he'll do something. But I don't think so.

I'll try to add a little more to what Muggs said.

Tebow is just really not the style of quarterback that makes it in the NFL. Most are pocket passers who posses very accurate and strong arms. While Tebow has a strong one, he does not show just awesome accuracy. Tebow is more of the scrambler that makes things happen with his legs. His throws come off of blown coverage because of his scrambles. That doesn't cut it in the NFL. Also, you wont see him bowl over an NFL linebacker like he does so many times in college. It just wont happen. I dont see how he plays like he does and stays healthy in college, much less how he would in the NFL.

Dont get me wrong, I'd love for Tebow to make it in the big show. I've read a bunch of great stuff on him and also like watching him play. Hopefully he will make it, but i just dont see it.
