The Biggest Misconception About Tim Tebow

Amazingly, everyone still loves Tim Tebow and thinks he's a starting NFL quarterback. I don't know how or why you would have any reason to think that. If you just watched him play the position at all and/or watched him throw a football ever you would never think this guy could play quarterback in the NFL. But then you sound dumber when you say something like, "But he's a great athlete."

If you think Tim Tebow is a great athlete, you're an idiot. That's the biggest misconception about the guy. He is not a great athlete. He doesn't have great feet at all, he doesn't have a strong arm at all, and he doesn't have the football smarts. What is he? He's a fullback trying to play quarterback. Rex Ryan said he thought Tebow would be like a Brad Smith for them. Brad Smith ran a 4.3 and returned kicks. Tebow probably runs a 4.7 or a 4.8 and the only guy he can get around the corner on is Eric Smith who happens to have lead in his shoes.

You know who's a great athlete? RG III, Tony Romo, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers; those guys are great athletes. Tim Tebow is not a great athlete. So before you go out there and start talking like you know what you're talking about, take a step back and look at evidence. Tim Tebow is not a great quarterback and he's not a great athlete. And it's looking a lot like he has too big of an ego to want to change to a position that would keep him in the NFL for a long time. Enjoy the wildcat the last two games because he might not play another down in the NFL after week 17. Unless he loses that ego, he's done.
