Denver Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels better have a plan to bring the team into the playoffs again. In less than one year McDaniels traded Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall. Broncos fans watching the soap opera right in front of their eyes. Then on Thursday Prime Time in the Radio City Music Hall, McDaniels decided to take another risk. The Broncos decided to move up and draft Florida Gators Quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow was one of the greatest college football players of all time. He's a different kind of quarterback, he's not very accurate and has a slow delivery. However, Tebow has leadership qualities seen by veteran NFL players. So, why did the Broncos trade UP for Tebow? Before the Senior Bowl, Tebow always played in a shotgun option offense with Urban Meyers. During the Senior Bowl, Tebow looked slow and inaccurate under center during the game. Draft experts around the league believe Tebow would be a 2nd Round or 3rd Round draft pick. Tebow showcased his "new release" during his pro day workout. The media was all over Tebow's delivery, especially ESPN. A viewer couldn't go one day watching Sportscenter without seeing Todd McShay or Mel "What does he do not during the draft" Kiper Jr.
I'm not sure how Tebow will do in the NFL. He's a class act kid and a role model for all young kids. However, I don't think his new release will last in the NFL. Sure, during a workout when no one is defending or rushing Tebow then he'll complete his passes. However, when linebackers are blitzing on 3rd Down that's when we'll see the real Tebow. McDaniels made a risky move that will be reviewed and written about for years to come.
