This is the first time I have really tried to watch Tebow play.
Not exactly a Gators fan, nor a Tebow fan.
HOWEVER.......
Watching (a) VY dismantle us with the option run, and (b) opposing defenses making Schaub look like a statue....
I am wondering if Tim Tebow might be a good QB for the Texans.
Check this out, and please just consider it:
1. Love them or hate them, the Titans have finally figured out that the way to use a mobile QB (VY) is to move him at the snap and get him into motion via the option. The other half of that equation is having a STELLAR running back who can hit the overdrive gear in an instant IF he gets the pitch.
This creates severe scheming disadvantages for NFL defenses who are BUILT on either stopping the run OR rushing the QB. Now you're facing an offense who bypasses run-stuffing d-lines OR pass-rushing d-lines. It's the best of both worlds for an offense like the Titans--They just go out there and let their athletes be who they are. And they are succeeding at it.
2. Tim Tebow is a big boy. He can run, too. And he is a WINNER at the college level. He has his head on straight. There will be no calling the police, wondering where he went off to without his cell phone after being boo'd by fans. He's a clean-cut Christian who has stuck to his morals. He's the sort of guy a man like Bob McNair wants on his team.
3. With Andre Johnson as a huge deep threat, and our possession-minded WRs (Anderson and Walter) and with Jacoby Jones also stretching defenders with his speed and range...Tim Tebow would have a very nice set of WRs to line up with. He would have guys who know what they're doing.
4. I would love to use Tebow against Jax and Tenn and use their own poison against them.
5. We could draft him and sit him the whole first season, only allowing him to play sparingly in preseason and in the reg season during garbage time. Giving him the Steve McNair treatment would be THE best thing for Tebow AND for Matt Schaub.
Because by the time 2010 is over, the Texans will know if they want to continue the Matt Schaub experiment or not. The only downer is that it DOES present a bit of an instant QB controversy that we will eventually have to deal with. Because Schaub believes he IS the guy, and not someone we draft in round 1 and sit for a year.
I just think we're dying a slow death by not having a MOBILE quarterback in the world of today's NFL.
And though I;m not a fan of Tebow nor of the Gators...I can watch a little bit of Tebow running around and making plays with his legs AND his arm...and I'm slowly becoming a bit of fan. Now, maybe it's because I watch us get schooled by VY and then have our own QB who has major mobility issues when under pressure or when the routes are shut down by DBs, but I'm becoming a believer in having a QB who has legs AND an arm.
