After his disastrous performance at the Senior Bowl, former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has decided that he needs more time to work on his passing mechanics, and he will not throw at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis this week."I'm not changing who I am or how I approach football," Tebow told Adam Schefter of ESPN. "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."
There's a consensus around the NFL that Tebow has a long, long way to go before he can be an NFL quarterback -- and many people don't think he'll ever get there. Tebow was successful in the spread offense that Florida runs, but that's not an offense that exists in the NFL.
In my own opinion, Tebow's best chance of making it in the league is at another position. I don't know if that position is tight end or fullback or safety or linebacker or what, but I just don't believe he's ever going to have the kind of passing accuracy that can allow him to play quarterback in the NFL.
But Tebow insists that he's a quarterback, and he can make it at the next level.
"With continued work, I will have this down pat by minicamp," Tebow told Schefter. "It will be like second nature. It's not like it feels awkward to me now. I'm excited about the changes I've made."
