I think it is a great decision for Tim Tebow to return to Florida for his senior season. I know -- as a quarterback -- this is the right decision by Tebow. He will get one more year to polish his passing skills and become a complete QB. He is close -- closer than most think. Tebow’s a great college QB -- one of the all time best.
His return to Florida will allow him to take one more step toward convincing NFL people that he is a NFL quarterback. I know he is. A year ago, no. Now, a year later, he is.
He’s not a pure QB because he isn't your stereotypical QB: 6-5, 225, blah, blah, blah. All that tangible measurements are overrated. Tebow has a 6-3, 240-pound body that can run. His arm is plenty strong. He is smart, tough, competitive and can run. He can take a hit and also dish one or ten out.
His accuracy has improved and he showed that he can make a big throw in traffic with accuracy. He protects the football and, most of all, he wins.
He is also just a great football player and great kid. I'm so tired of listening to haters and certain NFL people saying he may not play QB. Those experts are wrong. He does it every week in the SEC, so he can do in the NFL. He can start for 5 NFL teams right now at QB.
No doubt he can play tight end, full back, linebacker, etc. at the next level, but why would I not want a player like him with ball in his hands every play?
With great focus and coaching his senior year, his accuracy will get better. Plus, he is a good pupil; Tebow can and will be a QB in the NFL. And he will start sooner than later.
A leader and a play maker is needed at QB. Tebow has that.
I'm sure many players have been told they can't play or do certain positions or things. Tebow doesn't listen, nor should the team that drafts him as a QB in 2010.
Stay tuned. Five years from now, Tim Tebow will be winning NFL games with a QB number on his jersey.
For the time being, let's not forget he gets another year at Florida. What's not to like? He’ll be around Great co-eds, he’ll be the big man on campus, get another year of college life, another Heisman run, still gets to be a kid and, yes, a preseason No. 1 ranking with the inside shot at a repeat national title.
Don't we all wish we had those chances?
It’s a great decision by Tebow and a relief for head coach Urban Meyer, who has about 10 starters returning on defense in 2009.
It's good to be a Gator fan, I'm sure.
