Tebow ran because he could...doesn't mean he's going to try that in the pros...but personally I think it will still help him. There's nothing wrong with a QB that is mobile and tough.

He still has the ability to throw the ball. If you don't believe that, then you probably haven't watched him very much. I had an opportunity to stand directly behind a receiver he was throwing to while warming-up, and that's all it took for me.

Lot's of QB's have weird throwing motions...some made it...some didn't. Some that did...Jergensen, Kosar, Archie Manning, Rivers...to name a few. I actually never noticed anything wrong with his motion, as I had with the others, and it had to be pointed-out to me...recently by all the hoopla...but then again I am no pro scout.

I concede that there is a possiblity that he won't make it...I just think he will. Like I said before...we will all see in the next few years and all we have to do is sit back and wait. Oh...and I'll be saying, "I told ya so..."
