Remember when Urban Cryer swore up and down last year that this season would be different? Remember all that talk about helping Tebow and preparing him for the next level by allowing him to go under center more often?

Yeah, well...

Not a good debut

I do not recall that Urban ever said that he would put Tebow under center. Urban did get a new quarterback coach this year to help Tebow, but not a new offense. Urban hates under center offenses that is why he runs the gimick offense he does. And it has sweep the country with many colleges and most high schools running a very close version of it. It is simply an indictment against Urban that he does not prepare players for the pros especially QB's. Alex Smith is just now showing himself that he can be a decent NFL QB but boy the 49ers have wasted many years and a lot of money reteaching him. Tebow has never taken a snap under center not in high school or in college and boy does it show. But you know that goes for probably all of the quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl this week. He looks very uncomfortable under center so much so that in video clips I saw he was taking practice snaps and fumbling those. The analysts where saying that having never been that close to the LOS before he seems worried that the defense is going to come right at him and so he pulls away from the center so quickly that he cannot hold on to the ball. A QB can certainly read a defense better under center and then when he dropping back to pass and then worry about handling the ball whereas in these new shotgun offenses you are worried about catching the ball first.

When Tebow is drafted, it won't be because he is a prototypical NFL qb. We all knew that. Obviously, it's going to be by some team that thinks the guy can be changed in short order and is making an investment in the future. But less obviously, perhaps some club just wants a physical specimin that is unlike anyone to come along in college football in some time. A Herschel Walker type. Sure, the footspeed may not be everything that is desired, but he's quick, makes you miss, and is smart.
 
lsufreek's take on Tebow.

I dont mean to come at you man, but alot of what you said just isn't true. Urban DID say that they would put Tebow under center alot more this year way back in the off season. And you just said that Tebow has never been under center which is untrue because they did put him under center some this year, just not near as much Urby led everybody to belive. Also, they didnt just hire a new QB coach, they hired a new offensive coordinator (or well promoted Adazzio OC after Mullen left).

Is there anyway we can change it to where the links are a different color and underlined or something? I can't tell what is a link and what is not unless I roll over it with my mouse.

Thanks !

Scott Loeffler was brought in from the Detriot Lions to help Tebow prep for the draft - check out their media guide. In 2008 Adazzio was Assistant Head Coach, Offense/Offense Line and promoted to coordinator to replace Dan Mullen Urban has not had a QB Coach at Florida until this past year. He brought in Loeffler to ward of critics (mainly coaches at other schools recruiting against him) that his offense does not prepare kids well for the next level. Loeffler was an addition and Addazio was a replacement for Mullen plain and simple. Tebow has NEVER logged a play in a game under center only in practice and for that matter most of the QB's that are going to get drafted have not either. Check out the story I have linked below.

Everything you said about the coaches, is exactly what I said. Don't get your point :headscratch: and I could care less what that article says because I have seen with my own two eyes Tebow under center. Period. And even with all that said it doesn't change the FACT that Urby said before the season Tebow would be under center for a substantial amount of time this season.
