In my view, the two choices are (1) makes it because this could work, he's not a finished product yet but there's enough there to where we might get a solid contribution out of him; or (2) tap-tap, it's the end of the road Timmy, and you know it's done with love because it's Urban.

In my opinion, the people that are most puzzled by all of this are the ones that don't understand he's a complete beast at the game of football, a natural.  He's so good at football they let him play quarterback and he can't throw (smiley face).  If you miss that fact (disagree with it, whatever), it all seems like some kind of puzzle where you can't understand why he keeps turning up like a bad penny.

But make no mistake, he is profoundly talented.  Don't fall into the armchair-coach trap of thinking 40 time is a catch-all for general football ability.  It's one number among many, and for the 250+ pound players there is such a thing as "good enough."

Gronk is actually a tough guy (with a TE"s frame). He's had a life that was rough n tumble and fun and fights about girls and fights with friends (and brothers) just 'cause they were drunk. Gronk was an actual tough TE.

Tebow is not that. He's a homeschooled kid that was coddled his entire life. He can go to the gym all he wants, but he will get his butt kicked by anyone that's actually been in a real fight.

He's not tough, he can't block... he's just a big guy that works out a lot.

Says the keyboard tough guy!  You're more ridiculous than the other one who was comparing him to Gronk.  

Truth is that he's looking better than most of us thought he would.  I'm actively rooting for him to be good enough to make the team.  It would be delicious to see all the haters in this thread lose their collective minds!
