my girlfriend would J** her pants if denver pulled the trigger on Tebow!

This is quite possibly the tastiest news of the offseason!

I used Elway as a measuring stick because he is, like Tebow, a baseball style thrower, but Elway had a much more natural ‘power’ technique (Elway throws like an ex-3rd baseman – watch a guy like Mike Lowell -see below). Tebow’s been all arm and no drive. Conversely, Elway used his whole body to generate tourque and drive.

Tebow’s new release & set up is much better and it looks like he’s driving better, although, he’s still more upright than Elway, but at least he’s moving/driving forward at release. He used to throw off of his front foot with no real drive and lift his back foot as he rotated, and he’d release the ball much later in his shoulder rotation than Elway or even Brady (who’s NOT a baseball style thrower). Now, Tebow’s not as upright and is rotating and releaseing a little earlier in his motion. Tim Tebow will always throw like Tim Tebow. He’s never going to throw like Elway or Brady or anyone else, so we need to remember that all he can do is tweak what he’s always done, he can’t recreate the wheel. His release is earlier and when he drives to his front foot from his back foot and really gets into a throw, I think he looks FANtastic (see the Senior Bowl photo below). The only reason I use Elway is that, frankly, he has a weird baseball style throw too. Almost 3/4, just like Tebow.

He has a much more classic delivery and set up now, but he still has a way to go for two reasons. It’s going to take him at least a year to pass this way without thinking about passing this way. And in pressure situations, there’s no guarantee that his old motion won’t show up.

Keep in mind that there is no perfect throwing motion set up, but there is definitely an inefficient one.

Tebow’s old release (late in his rotation):

Tebow at the Senior Bowl (3rd baseman style throw for sure – that could be a part of the reason why he struggled in the Senior Bowl, I believe he’d already transitioning his footwork and motion and the results were immediately shaky:

Oh and to close, Mike Lombardi thinks that the Broncos have all of the factors it’ll take for a team to draft him, click here to see say him as much. It’s my opinion Lambardi thinks Denver will take Tebow in round #2 if he’s there.

I’m actually on the fence about Tebow, but the more I look at this guy, the harder it is for me to not pull for him, regradless of where he ends up. Tebow could ‘redshirt’ in 2010 for Denver, but Denver would have to take him with (1) their second round pick – which is risky if they really want him b/c the Pats(they have the Jags’ pick) and Buf pick before Denver, imo or (2) Denver will either have to trade up/back in the draft to get a late #1 or very ealry #2 or lastly, with the pick/picks they get from a possible Marshall trade.

Imagine this:

Brandon Marshall for Tebow (Seattle’s #2), Rob Sims (starting Guard), and Seattle’s 5th rounder.

Looks good to me! haha

the problem with Tebow’s throwing motion is when he checks down to other receivers and let’s the ball hang low before recocking to throw.

that BM gonna’s pull it together
