Wherein I discuss Tim Tebow – way too much.
Also, we recap Jets/Colts and Saints/Vikings, touch on Lord Favre, moving the Pro Bowl and the NFL Draft, and talk about how awesome a show Friday Night Lights is.
HERE IS THE LINK – CLICK IT (you know you want to).
As for Tebow—as I say on the show, this will be an ongoing discussion.
The last segment was supposed to be more Senior Bowl than Senior Tebow but that failed. And why not? Tebow is a huge subject, so I spent some time on that.
There seem to be two camps—I call them the Acolytes and the Haters. 98% of the people in either groups seem to be able to grasp logic nor hear contrary opinions. It’s amusing, it’s cute but it’s about to get old.
I take that back. There’s a third group—one I think most of us are in. The people who see the potential in Tebow but also see the severe hill he has to climb to play successfully in this league.
As we move into the details I can say that by and large, most of what he did—fumbles, footwork and innaccuracies—were what I expected.
What I really want to hear is how he took to the coaching and what the coaches thought of his ability to adapt. It’s critical he convince teams he can achieve what needs to happen if they are to risk a pick on him.
I’m not hearing that much on the subject yet though it does seem he is making progress. He has the game this weekend, the NFL Combine in a few weeks and then his Pro Day.
He needs to interview well at all of them as well as show a willingness to adjust—and that’s on top of improving at least a little between each event.
Either way I think detractors and proponents of Timmy Football need to take a chill pill. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Since we beat the subject of Tebow into the ground for almost half the show, I toss out a few places to get your full Senior Bowl coverage.
As always Draftguys.com was on the scene. It was Cecil Lamey’s fourth or fifth year going, though this time it was without new father Sigmund Bloom. Matt Waldman filled in very well though and you can catch all their takes over at the site.
Shawn Zobel of Draftheadquarters.com was in Mobile as well. Like Cecil and Matt, Shawn has plenty to say about all the prospecs so make sure you head on over to the site.
Shawn is definitely in the hopper for a few appearences during the next few months, and I can be reasonably confident in saying Waldman, Lammey and the other Draftguys will drop by at some point.
And not just because I will shortly be dropping content on the Draftguys site.
So check out the goodness on the link and heck while you’re at it head over to ITunes and subscribe to the feed.
