How would people feel if we drafted Tebow?
 
I personally would throw up and then contemplate selling my season tickets.

I guess you felt a strong need to get that out there? Why all the hate for Tebow?

Here's how I look at it. As an LSU fan, for the last 4-5 years, this guy has been kicking our arse in the SEC. Wherever he ends up, I see him being a winner. If it's not here I just hope it's not in our conference or division...I don't think I could take any more of him beating my team on a regular basis.

NO way!. It would take a rd 2 or a rd 3 and I would be pissed if we waisted a pick that early on a "iffy" qb.

Re: How would people feel if we drafted Tebow?
 
I would be pretty upset with drafting Tebow. It isn't because I don't think he's talented. It isn't because I don't think he's a winner. It is because I think there are more pressing needs in the draft position we're in. Tebow's stock seems to be climbing after his Pro Day. He will probably get drafted no later than early 2nd round. In all honestly, I would love to see him in a Saints uniform. Just not with an early round pick.

Bleh. I'm not really a hater, but I just don't like him and I don't know why.

MatthewT 03-18-2010 06:10 PM

Re: How would people feel if we drafted Tebow?
 
I love Tebow's work ethic and potential. However I don't think the Saints should pull the trigger on a QB in rounds 1 or 2. If he is available for the Saints in round 3, which I seriously doubt will happen, then maybe. Even in round 3 that may not be the best decision for the Saints, the Saints still have many greater needs at other positions.

Re: How would people feel if we drafted Tebow?
 
Tebow is somewhat of an enigma. He does however possess raw talent and heart. Maybe the most attractive aspect is his desire to be better and the willingness to be coached.

If I'm drafting for the Dolphins, I'd pick him in the 3rd. He'd be a great wildcat QB. Imagine: Ricky, Ronnie and Tim in the backfield (nightmare)

I like the kid, but I don't think he can contribute well enough in a Sean Payton offense. Something tells me the kid is not the sharpest tool in the drawer.

cant quite put my finger on the root of my hatred. i just know that it is there. i think its because of his "media darling" status. its probably a culmination of a few things.

...or explode.

Personally, I think he is very talented and will succeed wherever he goes.

What really has aroused my interest, though, is how a lot of America has seemed to turn on the kid for really no good reason and it has created one of the most interesting scenarios for a college kid entering the pros in quite a while...at least for me. I am very much looking forward to seeing how this whole thing turns out.

Re: How would people feel if we drafted Tebow?
 
I don't know if we should draft him or not. I think Tim Tebow is going to surprise all of you. I think he is going to learn how to play in the NFL, and he will be a force to recon with. he is a tremendously hard worker, and when Tim Tebow sets his mind on doing something, he usually does it. Should we draft him? I don't know. I do know that he will be around a long time, and I dread the day we play against him.
No, I'm not a gator fan.

Good character guy but it's probably not the right time for us to draft a QB in the first 4 rounds.

I really think Tebow will be a star...i dont know why ..i just have a feeling

We won't sign that moron. He is plastic and will be exposed in the NFL for the whiner he is.

I know people from Florida who know that yuppie brat. What he portrays... and what he is... are not the same thing.

He will be exposed in the NFL, and not at the Saints.

Why would they sign a douchebag with no throwing form?

How many of you Jake naysayers have ever accomplished a fraction of something like that?

Try not to be haters and folks like me won't call you out for hating on someone who has accomplished more than you ever will.

If you respond all mad, yea I was talking to you.



yea.....for somebody with his head in the right place and who has such a great work ethic......i cant imagine why nobody would see right thru it

come on bro.....after that speech about all of us who havent accomplished as much as jake delhomme you expect us to listen to this stuff you posted about tim tebow.....you do like to flip flop tho

Not that big of a need. I much rather see us develop Chase Daniels. I believe Tebow might have success as a QB but its not a given. He has a long way to go. I think he just as well migh end up as a TE and have a good career there.

Agreed ..... or as an UDFA.

Re: How would people feel if we drafted Tebow?
 
Living in Florida I have had to endure the medias constant Tebow love fest for too many years. I am not a Gator's fan, Go Canes, but I try(TRY) to keep my opinion unbiased. What I saw Tebow do was attempt to carry a team and do it all. He is a hard worker on the field. I am not sure he always utilized other weapons when possible. I believe he was also fortunate to go to a school where they have possibly the strongest recruiting. In the pros, he will not have a long lived career if he attempts to run up the middle all of the time. I hope if we do draft him it is later than 2nd round pick.

Is this suppose to be a joke? Maybe we can get Cody as an UDFA as well...or maybe even Sam Bradford?

Great kid, but I'd be embarrassed if we selected him. Maybe in the 7th as an H-Back, but no earlier.

Much agreed. People are weird & have no real purpose. Somebody does something great. Everybody loves them. Everybody talks about them. Suddenly you hate them.

If its because he's a Gator, I understand. If its because he smiles and appears to love being alive, you should explore your emotional structure.

Here's what a 7th rd. pick or possible UDFA looks like today...


Please watch this...and if you still think he doesn't have potential to be a star QB in the NFL, then...well...I just give-up.

Oh...and if you ever questioned his heart, toughness, or desire to win...check-out the part around the 3:00 mark...

I move that we stop using the word "douchbag" on this board for one month. I am so sick of that word. Do I hear a second?

I'd react the same way I did when we drafted Danny Wuerffel; think it was a wasted pick.

AGREE, but then, this board has never been work place appropriate.

Well...I think I've just about heard it all, now. Comparing Tebow to Wuerffel. Wow...just wow.

I would agree that it would be a wasted pick in that we don't need a QB, but if you are referring to the talent-level...then that's another story and I totally disagree with you...but to each his own and we shall all see within the next few years.

The Saints will not Draft a QB this year this Draft belongs to Greg Williams and the Defense... BANK IT

Tebow won a national championship and Heisman Trophy at florida for the same reason Wuerffel did; because the team he played for had more talent than anyone else. You don't have that luxury in the NFL. If Tebow thinks he's going to run the ball in the NFL like he did at florida, he's going to spend most of his career on a stretcher.

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..." :)
