That's a bit of a misconception about the Wildcat. A lot of what the Dolphins run out of that formation is just brutal inside running. Many of the big outside runs come from the motion man of the sweep. At times, it's simply a glorified goal line formation. Tebow is probably a better fit for that inside stuff that a small guy like Pat White.

I want to know why didn't he practice in off season on taking snaps under the center, working on his drops, and his release.

Wasn't he going on church missions or something???

I feel so good for Jake Locker right about now... That he's got a coach who actually teaches him things about being a QB (Sark), instead of just using and abusing his athleticism out of the shotgun (Willingham). If Sark hadn't come along you'd be hearing some of these same things about Locker next year.

He seems like a great guy but he's just not a pro QB IMO. If i'm wrong then i'll go out and say I was wrong and even be a fan of his but as of now I think if he tries to be a QB in the NFL he'll be a failure or at the best a huge disappointment from what everyone expected of him.

This.

I don't think any of the assessments on him have been wrong or unwarranted. We've seen for 4 years what he can't do as a passer, and we see it again at the Senior Bowl.

Now, he could be one of those guys that practice poorly and for some reason step up big come gametime, and if there is any player ever coming out of College who could do that it would be Tebow. But that's a stretch. No matter how "game" he is, when the ball doesn't get there fast enough in the NFL, it's picked off more often than not. I just don't believe he'll overcome that.

But I gotta say, this is the first Senior Bowl in a very long time that I'm actually anticipating, and I only wanna see one guy play.
