Tebow has tons of "it", but does not have the skills, possibly the talent to match... at least at this point.
RGIII is loaded with "it"... and is loaded with talent... and a full package of gifts.
I hope he can find his way into the B&G nation.
to all of that (
except the tebow part, of course)
Don't get that... You don't have to like Tebow to recognize that he knows how to make things happen. He knows how to turn crap into scores. If Campbell had just a touch of that, we might be speaking of him as a future hall of fame QB right now...
Agreed that you don't have to like a player to realize his IT factor (Deion for instance). However, I do not think that Tebow has IT. You say he knows how to make things happen. OK, in my opinion of Broncos last year, I saw a defense and running game foundation with an offensive gimmick (Triple option) that worked for about as long as it possibly could have. That's not having IT. I don't see what the Broncos did on offense as being rescued by Tebow (i.e Tebow turning
crap into scores). In fact I'd say they were able to win games despite their severe deficiency at QB. That's a testament to the coaching staff, defense and running game.
I think the problem here is the hype around Tebow going both ways, positive and negative I mean. He doesn't have IT (that's the pro-Tebow media and hype circus) and he's not the worst thing to ever get behind center either (Hi, Ryan Leaf). If you strip all of the ancillary crap away, you have a poor to below average QB who is a very good to excellent athlete. Combining the 2 will result in wildly, WILDLY inconsistent QB play, as we saw. Now if the Jets use him in some small package of wildcat and triple option, that might be his true calling. But a legitimately good QB, never.
To an earlier point you made, the IT you speak of is RG3, without question. He's also got the talent and I agree 100000% with you on him.
YOu are right, if campbell did have IT, he'd be all world, becuse he substantially more talent that Tebow AS A QB. Tebow is a GREAT athlete. Put him at Fullback or tight end and get out of the way. But he is not a QB.
