    Re: Where there's a will...there's a....

    Dude... what IS your point?

    You want people to acknowledge that it is within the realm of possibility that Tebow could one day improve his throwing mechanics, but you don't want the Rams to take Tebow... is that it?

    Why on Earth would that be a point worth making?

    Seriously... on behalf of ClanRam I'd like to thank you for wasting our time.

      Then why make this a thread on a Rams boards pertaining to the draft when even you admit that you dont think we should take him? The Tebow arguments have been done to death on both sides. So why make a whole new thread when you yourself would not take him?

        Because I didn't? Got me confused with someone else? Not only have I never made a Tebow thread in the history of all message boards but I haven't started one thread at this website in the whole week that I've been here. Not a one.

          I could go tit for tat with that too but I won't. I appreciate the warm thanks though, sincerely.

          I'm here to talk football. You bring up a point. I bring up a point. It's all in the spirit of discussion. If Tebow is not worth discussing, then why is he a topic on this message board? I mean it's not all about conformity is it? Like stepford wife syndrome. We're not all here on a message board of all places to agree on everything and all share a single hive mind mentality are we? If we're not here to discuss and debate topics, what are we here to do?

          Seriously though, it's not all that serious.

              Second thread you've referred to me as Zach.
              And that is because you're particular.....um, "style".....is eerily similar to a young lad we had around here for some time named Zach. If you're not him, then you two were separated at birth.
              The more things change, the more they stay the same.

                What I do not get is why Tebow did not begin to work on his mechanics in high school or in College? I think a few month before the draft is a little late to get started on it. Or maybe he did but he just can play in another way?

                If we can get him with a 5th og 6th round then it's ok with me anything earlier is a total waste.

                Maybe we should draft Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. As fare as I know he is also a great leader and a winner. And I guess if he starts working on his mechanics now he will be ready for the season start.....

                  Oh...is that the reason? I thought he was John Shaw.

                    I thought it was a mistake in the other thread the first time I saw it. No mistaking it after seeing it here and other threads now too. Especially your last post in the other one.

                    Name calling seems to be a pretty bad precedent to be setting though imo. Especially from a moderator stand point. I can understand disagreeing with someone but you're taking disagreeing to a whole different level of childishness. It may not be as open and derogatory as some words but it's no less tasteless and bush league from where I'm sitting.

                    Attacking the poster instead of the post is what happens though when you run out of reasonable and sound arguments. Especially if you can't base them in facts.

                    I'm not above giving what I get though Bernie.

                    Name calling ok in your book? Especially when it's moderators doing it? Probably wouldn't like it too much if it were you.

                        I call you Zach, because I thought you were Zach. Yes, how very "childish" of me to call someone by their name.

                        Actually, after this little exhibition of yours, I am more convinced than before that you are Zach.

                        z.nrd, hornit, ramzee......whichever one you like is fine, but let's do stick with one this time. Thanks so much.



                        My goodness. "Zach" is now a derogatory term? What has this world come to?
                        OK, time to get back to Tim Tebow. Any thoughts on Tim Tebow?

                          So strange that my post was deleted by Av, a moderator, although i will say that the other moderators don't seem to conduct themselves the same way...anyway you never seem to amaze me Av (go ahead delete this one too). I hope you at least can look in the mirror and know what I say is true, even if you can't admit it publicly

                              Tim Tebow is so Disrespectful
                              by AvengerRam_old
                              As of now, Tim Tebow is not the Broncos starting QB. Kyle Orton is. This is not a huge shock because... put simply, Orton is the better QB right now.

                              So how does Tebow react?


                              Really, Timmy? It was your dream, huh? And what do you think Orton was dreaming about? Selling shoes?

                              As for it being "grabbed away"... please. Its a competition. You're losing right now. Deal with it.

                              It gets worse. Next, we have to read this:



                              That's nice. You rely on your faith. Because, after all, you have a monopoly on faith .

                              Tim, why don't you show some respect for your teammate and go win the job on the field. Whining to the media that you were dropped on the depth chart is not how you get to be a starter in this league....

                              Tip Sheet: Tebow impresses Herock
                              By Len Pasquarelli
                              ESPN.com
                              Friday, January 22, 2010

                              In nine years of preparing draft-eligible players for the interview process at the NFL combine, Ken Herock has worked with more than 500 players, including 40 quarterbacks, readying them for the crucial Q-and-A session that each prospect must undergo at the February audition in Indianapolis.

                              But never has Herock -- a longtime talent evaluator who spent most of his 40 seasons in the league as a personnel director or general manager -- encountered a product like Florida QB Tim Tebow.

                              In an unsolicited phone call to ESPN.com earlier this week, Herock, who worked with Tebow for several hours, uncharacteristically gushed about the Gators' star.

                              "He's by far the best [prospect] with whom I've ever worked," said Herock, who operates "Pro Prep," a popular service that simulates a combine interview and familiarizes players on the subjects with which they will be confronted by league scouts. "He walks into a room and he just energizes it. Whatever 'it' is, he's definitely got 'it.' … Even for a guy like me, who's done this for so long, you almost get goosebumps."

                              The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, and one of the most celebrated players in recent college history, Tebow has received decidedly mixed predictions about his NFL future from critics evaluating the 2010 talent pool. Most rate him behind at least two quarterback prospects, Jimmy Clausen of Notre Dame and Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, and some have him rated even with Colt McCoy of Texas. Citing his low delivery and an elongated release, critics contend that Tebow lacks the physical skills that will make him a first-round selection.

                              Others suggest Tebow must play another position -- fullback, H-back or perhaps linebacker or safety -- in the NFL. It conjures up memories of 2001 Heisman winner Eric Crouch of Nebraska, a college quarterback drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the third round in 2002 as a wide receiver. He failed to make it at that position or at safety.

                              The four-hour tutorial designed by Herock doesn't necessarily deal with a player's athletic skills. But Herock has long believed that a top-flight quarterback is necessary to win in the NFL, and during his league career, he drafted prominent passers such as Doug Williams, Steve Young, Chris Miller and Brett Favre. He has an estimable track record at the game's most difficult position. This week he took some time out to watch and evaluate Tebow on the practice field.

                              Tebow is working on his physical skills with former NFL quarterback Zeke Bratkowski. Onetime NFL quarterbacks coach Marc Trestman, currently head coach of the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, has worked some with Tebow at the blackboard on the mental part and X's and O's of the game. After playing in coach Urban Meyer's spread offense,...

                              Tebow to unveil new delivery at pro day

                              By Adam Schefter

                              Tim Tebow is, essentially, painting over the masterpiece he created at the University of Florida.
                              In an effort to quiet his critics and refine his game, Tebow is changing the way he holds a football, shifting it from his waist to his shoulder. He is concentrating on taking three- and five-step drops instead of working out of the shotgun formation he used at Florida.
                              He will not unveil Tebow 2.0 at this week's scouting combine in Indianapolis, preferring instead to wait for his pro day at the University of Florida on March 17.
                              But until then, he will continue working on improving his fundamentals in an effort to improve his draft position and his game.

                              Cliff Welch/Icon SMI Tim Tebow, throwing a pass in Senior Bowl practice last month, hopes to improve his draft stock with a new approach that includes drop-back passing.



                              "I'm not changing who I am or how I approach football," Tebow said Sunday night from Nashville, Tenn., where he has been busy remaking the style that was good enough to win one Heisman Trophy and two national championships at Florida.
                              "But there are things that I can get a lot better at -- my fundamentals. I've never been asked to shorten or quicken my release and not have a loop in it. The changes I'm making have gone very well and it's becoming more and more natural to me."
                              Asked if he would have embarked on such an extensive and exhausting process had his performance at the Senior Bowl not been so roundly criticized, Tebow said: "Probably, just because of the quarterback coaches I've been working with. I want to get better. I want to be around people who will push me. I will do anything to get better. Without hearing the criticism, I would have done it.
                              "It's made me more confident, more accurate. And that's not to say I haven't had this type of coaching in the past. I just have had different coaching than this NFL style."
                              Tebow has been tutored in a pro-style way by working with a coaching team that includes former NFL offensive coordinator Zeke Bratkowski, Montreal Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman, Arizona State's new offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone and former NFL head coach Sam Wyche.
                              Bratkowski has concentrated on getting Tebow to raise the football to where it now does not dip lower than his shoulder. The delivery that allowed Tebow to complete over 67 percent of his passes at Florida but the one that also was roundly questioned during and after the Senior Bowl has begun to be made over at the pre-draft workouts in Nashville.
                              Much of the work has started with Tebow's feet, which were accustomed to working out of a shotgun offense. Bratkowski and others have drilled Tebow on the requisite footwork that he will need to become a successful NFL quarterback.
                              “ You're not looking at the same quarterback. To say we're there 100 percent where we want to

                              Tebow to Speak at Anti-Semitic/Homophobic Pastor's Church

                              I'm going to presume that Tebow does not share this Pastor's views. Rather, I think he just craves attention, and this is a big forum for him to speak at. Still, to me this shows extremely poor judgment.

                              Reason #328 why I'm glad he's not on the Rams....

                              by Rambunctious
                              I can't believe I am typing this... but I am ok with Tebow coming on board. I have more than once posted "No to Tebow" and I still don't see him as a long time solution but...

                              1) I would rather watch a young, physically talented, hardworking, athlete compete on the field then to watch a deer-in-the-headlights veteran.

                              2) With a few players unable to control their temper, it might be time to get at least A pillar back on the team.

                              3) Marketing wise it might help the stands stay full and would put a crap load of national media attention on the horns. Hey we might even get some prime time TV games.

                              4) Best case scenario we win some close games and it forces Schotty to try some new things.

                              5) Worse case scenario we have a terrible season that would be blamed on him, Tebow would then fade away into obscurity and everyone would welcome Sammy back with open arms.
