It was all going so well for Tim Tebow until the 2009 SEC Championship game. Well, things were not exactly going perfectly well in the big scheme of things but he was doing just fine. Florida were the number one team in the country, they were 5 point favorites going into the game and were well on their way to consecutive National Championships. But Tebow and Florida came out on the losing side, drowned by the Crimson Tide 32-12.
And then came the questions - the same questions that dogged him earlier in the year when he pondered about entering himself into the 2009 draft and have dogged him ever since – could he actually be a quarterback in the NFL? That one was probably always going to run until draft day whenever ESPN have a slow news day but it would have been a good plan to concentrate on football and concentrate on keeping a low profile. Agreeing to be involved with what is claimed to be an anti-abortion advertisement to be aired during the Super Bowl? Questionable move.
Aside from that, Tim Tebow has been getting back to business this week. And that business is proving to the 32 NFL teams that he can be an effective QB and get a nice fat paycheck rather than being drafted in the 4th Round and getting paid in bibles. But he wasn’t off to the best of starts – in Monday’s practice session for the Senior Bowl Yahoo quoted a NFC talent scout on Monday who quipped “he looks like the third QB out there”. Unfortunately for Tebow, there were only 3 QBs out there. On Tuesday USA Today reported that an anonymous CBS Sports executive concluded “Great kid but some of the worst mechanics and accuracy I've seen on a big-time QB prospect”. Ouch.
The Senior Bowl is on Saturday which is Tebow’s chance to show the NFL that he can adjust his game and actually take snaps from anywhere but the shotgun on a national stage. But what if it’s a disaster? What if he’s merely ordinary? Then what? Well personally it could actually make me believe that may be a god and that god has a sense of humor.
