Just because you're a winner in the College doesnt mean you'll equate to SHIT in the league.

Ask David Greene and Ken Dorsey lol

A winner at the college level means jack shit in the NFL.

Tebow had immense talent around him at Florida, 1st round sprinkled at almost every position.

So when you say he is a winner that doesn't mean it will translate into a successful NFL career.

How do you know cause someone else said so ?
Umm...He won't be a good every down QB because of many reasons, including an elongated release, which would tip off safetys where he is throwing. Also, he can't play under the center,he has to play in a spread system that doesn't work in the NFL.

He would be a good wildcat QB because he is a good runner, and would always be a threat to throw the ball...

You don't need to watch ESPN to figure that out...

Although look for Leinart to get another chance to start next year. Even though he won't admit it you would have to think Warner doesn't want to take to many hits like he did after the interception yesterday. So Leinart may be the man in Arizona next year or if Warner does come back, don't be surprised to see Leinart going to the Seahawks.

Absolutely true. The ranks are replete with fantastic college players, including many Heisman winners, who flopped at the professional rank.

Ken Dorsey was a hell of a winner too.

So was Ty Detmer.

-----------------------------------------

Tim Tebow played in a gimmick system surrounded by superior talent. He's going to get rocked in the NFL as a QB. #MoneYintheBank

Is there a link? or anything to back this up? I highly doubt the Browns will draft him in the early rounds. They might in the later rounds, and that necessarily won't be bad. I think the thing that would upset most of us is if we waste a high round pick on him.

I'm not an insider so I didn't have acess to the story.
They have now changed the link that was posted earlier to a different topic. It was there though and if your an insider I am sure you can get the specifics. I'm sure it is all rumors at this point but like I say I could only read the headlines until it changed.

Hey the link is on this page....

Schefter just said on ESPN that he didn't expect the Browns to keep Stallworth but with the lack of WR's I hope they do.

Browns do lack depth and experience at WR, but Stallworth isn't the answer. He was terrible in 08 when he played, which wasn't much since he always claimed he was hurt..

I don't see Holmgren picking Tebow in the early rounds or even later rounds. Really wouldn't make sense to pick him. We don't even know if he can play QB in the NFL...

Quinn showed some signs when he played against SD this year...but we don't know how healthy he can stay. He hasnt been able to finish a season once he gets the starting spot. So, is there a certain round we should draft another QB and when/who should it be?

I wouldn't want to draft any QB's. If we do, it has to be 5th round or later.
