I don't really remember what he was saying in detail, but he talked for probably about 5 straight minutes about Tebow; he's watched and studied every game he's been in since a junior at UF, including his pro games and any practice tape he could get ahold of. He explained his throwing motion, his lack of accuracy, his "I can do it myself" attitude that will not work in the NFL (as an example he said he had game tape of a game last year in which Denver was in the redzone and Tebow was mic'ed up and went to McDaniels on the sideline and said "no one runs the ball but me".
When I first heard Hodge's tweets and remarks about Tebow I, too, thought it was very harsh. But when I heard him explain it this morning, I changed my perspective. The guy can't just go on air and say "Tebow is a nice guy." He needs to go on air and say what he has seen in his evaluations, and in his opinion, Tebows' accuracy stinks.
That makes sense. Using twitter to deliver a message sometimes works both ways. He probably generated a lot of interest in his appearances by throwing that stuff out there on twitter - if you were already watching M&M or knew he was going to be on. Hell, for that matter, it may have earned him some appearances. But at the same time, there are probably a lot of people who only got that serving so the story isn't about what he's really trying to report, but how he bashed Tebow.
I don't think he was wrong about anything and I assume if given time he could explain his opinion in more depth (as you say he did on M&M). The twitter comments out of nowhere just seemed to have the tone of someone who was pissy at Tebow personally for some reason.
