Bills schedule workout with QB Tim Tebow

Oh, and before y’all get your knickers in a twist and freak out again, understand one thing: Tebow won’t be anywhere close to the only QB to work out in Orchard Park before the draft. :)

This makes sense. Lets face it if not for his mechanical flaws he really doesn’t have many faults. His biggest detractors are quick to point that out as his weakness, but if he cleans that up…..

I also have to point out that there have been other QBs without prototypical mechanics who have been successful.

But with his woek ethic and drive it is hard to bet against him. If anyine can change his throwing motion and still become successful it is him. He does remind me a lot of Rivers.

I wouldn’t be upset if we took him at 9.

in the third round.

Tebow is growing on me… Starting to like the guy… He DEFINES intangibles.

They are going to have to get him sometime in the first round. He will not make to the Bills’ second round pick

we already have one first round project player in maybin. no need to add another because I do not believe Tebow will be ready to start come week 1.

i’m crying inside, simply because it means they’re actually considering having a TE play QB for us.

I love it. Sweat Jags, SWEAT!!!!!!!!

From a management standpoint they have to do bring him in to at least get a no kidding first hand look at him. It doesnt mean we ARE going to draft the guy. I am probably one of the biggest anti-Tebow for QB people in the world but you at least have to see what he has improved on since the end of the year. But I am not going to get bent out of shape about this until April and we are on the clock at 9 and all the cameras are focused squarely on Tebow in NYC (assuming he is there) and that knot in my stomach grows exponentially.

and I will go on record again…..and say…..drafting Tebow would be a good move for the Bills.

used to hate Tebow as a prospect, dislike his somewhat preachy attitude on religion (my opinion I dont care if you dont think hes preachy, I do)

But somewhere along the way I realized that the Bills dont have a leader. Tebow can lead.
Hes physically capable of making all the throws he needs to to be able to succeed.
His throwing motion has looked exponentially better in the last 2 months, showing that hes capable of altering it.
He seems more than intelligent enough to master an NFL offense, and is a film-watching machine.
He wants to be a great, and will not settle for failure.

Sounds like an Ideal Franchise QB to me.

And for y’all sceptics out there, how awesome would it be to have ESPN talking about the Bills as much as they talked about the Jets and Mark “Franchez” last year?

So take him at #9 Chix, heck, take him at #3 (after bradford and suh of course) … actually… maybe not at 3… 9 sounds good.

Mike Mayock on Tebow

Here’s a guy who’s arguably the best player to ever play college football, yet most NFL scouts will probably put him in the third round."

Former Florida star Tebow oozes intangibles. But his elongated release fueled criticism at the Senior Bowl.

Tebow hired former NFL quarterback and head coach Sam Wyche along with Zeke Bratkowski and Marc Trestman— both with experience as NFL offensive assistants — to revamp his throwing mechanics. The result is a quicker, more compact release, according to Tebow.

“Tebow is never going to look like Sam Bradford, that classic passer,” Mayock says. "But can you modify him to the point where those changes stick under pressure? It’s one thing to go out on your pro day and throw. It’s another thing when you’re facing an overload blitz from the Pittsburgh Steelers and you’re trying to get rid of the football to your hot-read receiver.

seriously people #9 for Tebow?

Is his throwing motion a concern? Did the Jags just never try to teach Leftwich how to get rid of the ball more quickly or was he just incapable of doing it on the field under live game conditions? If the Jags tried to address the issue was Leftwich just not personally capable of made the adaptation or are throwing motions so ingrained from a decade+ of experience that they can’t be expunged?

If the Bills drafted Tebow and he lead us to a Super Bowl win, then you can conclude that God does exist……

So theres that.

As the resident Ga Bulldogs fan, I’ve posted before my resentment of Mr Tebow… But I recently posted that 3rd round might be OK, I’d just have to shower afterwards…

Anyway, as I’ve been following his progress through the offseason, I’ve changed my mind, and am actually leaning toward second round…. Excuse me, gotta go wipe my a$$…..

OK… I’m back… If the coaching staff likes him, the kid is actually growing on me…. But I would insist on one major thing…. He needs to leave that Gator crap in Fla, where it belongs….
And in his rookie season, Marcus Stroud gets to do the hazing!!!!

we grabbed Vick from Phily with trading Whitner and a 2011 6th round pick. If we draft Tebow or Lefevour we would be able to bring them along as Vick runs the show. They are all left handed throwers and would not put as much pressure on the 1st round LT we would draft. If we got a solid RT we would be in business. Vick for two years and then Tebow.

Why. Gailey has proven to make the most out of nothing at QB before.

Tim Tebow is a proven winning quarterback with awesome physical skills; so what’s the debate?? Mechanics, schmechanics. Good Grief….. The man can play. He is a class act. What have we had at QB for the last 10 years??

Do what we have to and sign Tim Tebow. He is not Ryan Leaf. Sign the man.

I have no idea why Tebow is so polarizing. I agree with the anti-Tebow people out there in that the whole “he’s a winner and a class act” argument is flimsy. I agree with the Tebow-fans in that I like his physical attributes. Overall, he’s just another college prospect- more than half of them end up complete busts- it’s all just throwing darts at a dartboard. I’m just glad that Buffalo is looking at high profile QBs in this draft. The one camp I’ll never agree with is the “wait for 2011” wafflers out there. Gregg Williams, Mike Mularkey, and Dick Jauron all spent their first year with a QB they didn’t really like and we can all see how their piss-poor tenures turned out…there’s no better time to get the QB of the future in here because the QBs of the present on this roster are all CFL-bound by 2011 anyway.

that is all

but even I have to say that taking Tebow at 9 may be jumping the gun a bit.

I do think Tebow has a good chance of making it to the second round at pick 41 and if not that, at least he will fall to the late 1st and we can try and trade back or up to get him. I can’t imagine the Jags going through with Tebow at 9. As of right now, Troy Williamson is looking to become their number 1 receiver, they need defensive help badly, and there are holes in their o-line. The Jags would not pass on Dez Bryant if hes there and David Garrard is the least of their concerns.

Personally, I would be very happy if we drafted Tebow if Bradford was gone by 9.

id take him at number one just knowing he would do whatever it takes to be a help to my team, qb, tight end damn he could be a linebacker hahaha

As a T-Bow fan and a Gator fan of course I would enjoy seeing him in Buffalo. Let’s face it he is the type of player with his strengths and weaknesses that makes for a great debate.

If he some how manages to end up with the Bills he will undoubtedly bring so much press coverage that the Bills will be on TV & in the news continually. Hopefully, that will translate into other players wanting to play for the Bills like they did for the Gators…

saying that if the Bills were “crazy” enough to even think about taking Tebow at that time, they’d give up rooting; that it’d be a huge mistake. Well, perhaps it could be, only because Tebow’s a known “work in progress.”

Tell me. All those guys projected to be “great” fits for the team at 9, are they sure-fire picks? Are they guranteed to come in week 1 and dominate…to even start? There’s no sure thing in the NFL. I’m not necessarily saying the team should take him with the #9 pick, but i’m also thinking it’s best to stop saying that because he’s a unique type of QB, he’s destined to be a bust. Mike Williams was supposed to be a sure thing. Erik Flowers was supposed to be a sure thing. I could go on about “sure things” that were drafted to address need areas.

The team has guys on the team where one more than likely (barring a Thiggy trade) will be the team’s starter week 1. They’re not exactly franchise QBs at this point, and I don’t think any had the intangibles in college that Tebow has at this point in his career.

I guess it’s important for me to think hard about this guy before I dismiss his ability to help a franchise in need of an identity, our beloved Bills.

when a player works out privately for a team, where is the work out held? at the player’s college campus or the nfl team’s facility?
