Flip Johnson Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Tebow's mechanics have clearly changed. Video can be found by scrolling down in the story. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2015/07/23/tim-tebow-philadelphia-eagles-tom-house-quarterback-coach/30575803/ Obviously it will remain to be seen whether he can maintain consistency under stress. But this video is the first time I have ever seen him throw a football without the ridiculous exaggerated windup.
eball Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 It's going to be fun watching the Philly fan base implode. Who is that Philly guy on Twitter with the epic rants?
hondo in seattle Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 "Is he an elite passer? Probably not." So says QB guru, Tom House. Tebow was in an interesting situation. He was young enough to reinvent himself. He was rich enough to afford it. And he was desperate enough (being out of football) to make it worth the effort & risk. I'm curious to see how this works out. As Flip points out, Tebow might revert to bad habits when under stress as people often do. If I was a DC facing Tebow, I'd sure as heck try to get him uncomfortable.
Clockwork Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I've always liked Tebow. I always thought he was/is the type to work unbelievably hard to do whatever it would take to get better. Add that to his natural skill set, and he could be a game changer in the league.
Big C Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Can't wait to see him beat Bradford and Sanchez for the starting gig in Philly!
Ramblin' Rob Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Tebowmaniacs = Tyrodmaniacs Two QB's on two teams without an entrenched starter, with a combined 10% chance of starting on opening day, based solely on the eclecticism of their respective coaches. But their fans think they are the next Kurt Warner or who??? But I will be flamed by both in 3,2,1.. Edited July 28, 2015 by Ramblin' Rob
section122 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Tebow will make the team. Even if he makes it as nothing other than a 2 point specialist I see him on the Eagles this year. Chip loved going for 2 in college and with the new PAT rules I can see him doing it a lot this year.
nuklz2594 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 funniest thing i heard...if tebow was in a boat he couldn't hit water

The thing that makes Tebow the dark horse is that so much is known about him.
John from Riverside Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I've always liked Tebow. I always thought he was/is the type to work unbelievably hard to do whatever it would take to get better. Add that to his natural skill set, and he could be a game changer in the league. We already have a QB like that
Dorkington Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Philly's fanbase is gonna have a fun training camp!

billsfan89 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Should have worked on his mechanics during college. It might be too little too late in his career to completely change his style in such a vital component in his career.
Beef Jerky Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Let's see what happens when you actually play in a game...
H2o Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I've always rooted for Tebow. All the guy does is win no matter where he has been. That stretch he had with Denver a few years ago, capped by the overtime playoff victory against Pittsburgh, was pretty fun to watch. After that it almost seemed like he was blackballed. Glad to see he's getting another shot and I think he landed in the perfect place for his skill set. If anyone can get something out of him it will be Chip Kelly and his comp isn't too stiff with Bradford/Sanchez fighting against him. I think you can pretty much "X out" Barkley at this point.

If anyone can get something out of him it will be Chip Kelly and his comp isn't too stiff with Bradford/Sanchez fighting against him. I think you can pretty much "X out" Barkley at this point. He went 7-4 with Denver in the regular season (Including 5 wins coming when opponents scored 10 points twice and 13 points twice, and 15 points once clearly defense was the factor) and got lucky that despite losing in week 17 (with a win and your in caveat, and the Chiefs only scoring 7 points) that the Chargers beat the Raiders in week 17 to send the Broncos to the playoffs. Also the Broncos lost to the Bills 40-17 week 16 that year. Then in the playoffs after beating a Steelers (A team that completely played into the Broncos hands) the Broncos got smoked by the Pats* round 2 by a score of 45-10. That's not a very impressive run if you ask me. The Broncos were such a stacked team that once Peyton Manning got there in 2012 they ran off a 13-3 record and had great years in 2013 and 2014. So stop with this "All this guy does is win crap", Tons of mediocre QB's have piggy backed off of great defenses to have a good stretch. But the Jets traded for him and he couldn't out duel Sanchez, the Pats* kings of reclamation projects couldn't do anything with him. I don't think he was blackballed. Teams understood context and what their eyes were telling them. The Broncos jumped on the chance to get Manning and dump a bad QB for a good one. Tebow didn't get any interest as a starter and landed on a team looking for a QB competition. He fizzled out on the Jets and then got another chance on the Pats* who passed on him. Hardly a blackball simple career progression. I understand that Philly after a year or two of working on his mechanics might be a better situation for him. But don't think he got rubbed out of the league for no reason. Edited July 29, 2015 by billsfan89
