Oh now that you mention it, since one guy did it for the Cowboys, it sounds like a good idea. Except I have never heard of that working before PLUS we already have JF PLUS Lee who will always be better than Tom Tebow because he can block. Heck, I'd take Havner over Tebow every single day.

I really don't know why I'm still debating this. If he comes to Green Bay that would be one of the dumbest picks unless it's a 7th rounder. 3rd round pick? Come on we need so much more than an overrated player who won't be doing crap in the NFL as QB, HB, FB, TE, or anything. He can't block, has no agility, and can't throw. If you want him here, you have never watched him play.

I've never indicated one way or the other if I want him. I'm discussing the issue because it was brought up.

No.

I would like to start a vote on the banning of the OP.

Whoever produced those photoshops is pretty good.

Wouldn't mind it too much if he fell beyond the 4th, but I doubt that would happen. If anyone could make a QB out of this guy it's MM.
Make him a TE/h-back type of dude who could throw the option pass. The option pass would be a killer, esp with our WRs and TEs.

I wouldn't want us to draft Tebow, simply because we're good at QB, and we have loads of other needs.

I do think Tebow can have a very succesful NFL career though, if coached right. I hope the Jaguars land him, they desperately need to sell tickets, and Tebow will definitely do that.

---

Yea...we have bigger needs and I doubt he'll drop to the 5th or 6th round so no thanks.

Tebow is a hard call to make. On the one hand, his arm is weak, his mechanics are terrible and his decision making is going to be awful because of the style of offense he grew up in.

OTOH, he's a football player and a leader. He's tough and athletic. He loves the game. I honestly think he could (eventually) be an impact player at a half-dozen positions.

I'd spend a 3rd on him, just on potential alone. But I'd never draft a guy solely with the intention of grooming and trading later on. How often does that work in your favor?

Mark me down as a fan that wouldn't be upset if we picked Tebow in the third or later.. you can never have enough quality football players on your team.. and I believe you can make a QB out of the kid... but you would have to do it the right way.

Which is develop him away from live action for a while.. ala Rodgers path.. give him a taste here and there.. but don't let the pressure fall on him right away.

We have a decent setup to develop him... Flynn is there to back up Rodgers.

Since 69... when has it worked... examples would be Detmer, Brunnell, Brooks and Hasselbeck. It worked well in the 90's for us. That and Tebow has this buzz about him that will carry over for a couple years.. if he could come out in 2011 or 2012 and light up the preseason, I could see us parlaying that into a decent draft pick or trade package.

People pound on this kid for his throw mechanics.. but all he did in college was complete 65% of his passes and win... like guys haven't had poor mechanics in the pros and won.. #4 is a prime example.. and he has won a hell of a lot of games in his career.

Other people want to bust him down for his religion or beliefs... I personally admire that he is open about it. Whether I agree or not with them.. he doesn't hide from you he is.

Now.. if the Bears, Lions, Cowboys or Vikings pick him... I "hate" him. 😉
