Since Tim Tebow just got the starting job he hasn't been able to prove anything yet but he has a lot of time to do so. How much do you expect his rating to go up in the next few weeks, based on his performances? Do you see him hitting an 80 or close to it?

Re: Tim Tebow
He is already somewhere around the mid-70's and players ratings can really change when they get a chance. I think we'll definitely see an increase of at least a couple points. I think he is gonna turn into a good competitor as he keeps getting experience.Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
We will see him hit 78-79. He's a 75 now, basically because of his running skills. Onnce he shows he can be accurate, I can see a ratings boost to near 80.Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
He is rated 75 right now, so I downgraded him on my rosters to a 73. I think he might be a 77 by season's end but the problem is that Denver has no one really to work with quarterbacks and his mechanics are terrible. Just wait until all the teams he plays know he is playing and start to scheme for his abilities. Teams will spy the quaterback more so his runs will be less effective. So he really needs to show he can throw and be accurate.Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
He's rated higher than I thought. He could be an 80 if he makes significant improvements to his mechanics, which I think we can all agree, if anyone has the mindset to do so it's Tim Tebow.Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
I think everyone forgets what he did last year in his 3 starts. He didn't disappoint, and he didn't look bad at all. The lockout screwed him over, as they said he lost approximately 1500 reps between workouts and OTAs. I'm not completely sold on him, but he does seem to have some ability to play QB in the NFL. I wish we could get Andrew Luck though....Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
He is a 82 in my roster and has 99 potential.Seriously he becomes the best player in the game for my franchise in a few years.Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
82? Based on what?
I agree he would want to work on his mechanics but they have been saying that since college and it still hasn't changed. Commentators talk about how he worked on it but when he is back in a game situation he reverts back to his old college form. As for 99 potential, that is just crazy. He is a servicable QB at best, he will not be a franchise QB, I just don't see it.
He can run somewhat, but when the defense has the week to prepare for him regularly they will challenge him to throw more and play 8 man box with a QB spy. I see more QB potential in Colt McCoy than Tebow. He isn't a thrower and in the NFL he has to make all the throws and he can't. He couldn't make the throws in College, why do people think he can make them in the NFL???Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
How many years was he the starter, 3 or 4? Yet only 88 tds isn't all that much in college for a Star. Elite QBs are throwing 30 plus in a season. Look at Bradford, what did he throw in his last year like 50 in one season alone. Then you look at the talent around him. Meyer was constantly getting one of the best recruiting classes, so it's not like he had to carry a team on his own. Yes he was the QB so he gets the credit but he played with great teammates and his teams defense didn't give up a lot of points very often. Good WRs, good RBs and a line that can protect will help put up winning numbers for a QB.
As for hating, I don't hate. I just don't think he has the arm to be a good NFL QB. Just because they are good college QBs doesn't mean they will be good NFL QBs, you want proof search for any QB that played for Spurrier at Florida. Look at a history of Heisman trophy winners, just because they are a college superstar doesn't mean they will be an NFL superstar and it's not just QBs either, Desmond Howard also comes to mind.
It's not hating, it's looking at the person and seeing how their skills translate to the next level and I don't think Tebow can be an elite QB in the NFLComment

Re: Tim Tebow
To put in perspective how he "couldn't" make college throws, here are some stats:
Tim Tebow completed 66.4% of his passes averaging 14 yards per completion and 5.5 TD's per INT thrown.
Peyton Manning completed only 62.9% of his passes averaging 13.2 yards per completion and 2.7 TD's per INT thrown.
Andrew Luck completed 65.9% of his passes while averaging 13.8 yards per completion and 4.2 TD's per INT thrown.
I am a Univeristy of Miami fan myself but as far as college goes, Tim Tebow may be one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game and to state that he couldn't throw the ball is pure ignorance, the man could ball. Compare him to most other QB's you thought were great in college and you will see allot of the same.Last edited by Figment; 10-19-2011, 10:08 PM.Comment

Re: Tim Tebow
Really interesting. Makes a real good argument for Tebow.
I am not a Tebow fanboy, but I think he has the potential to succeed regardless of what ppl say about his style.
Everyone said Newton wouldn't succeed in the NFL...look what he's done so far...one of the best rookie performances ever for a qb in his first few games...*AKA NFC3PO on the Madden Modding Discord*Comment
