Good look, thanks John
That article from Bill Willaimson on Tebow is pretty encouraging. It makes me proud of The Tebow, proud he’s ours. He is who we thought he was.
It's Alex, just Alex. But you can call me Alex=)
Couldn't agree more
Nice comments from Champ, and nice write up by BW.
I like Josh. But I need Ws.

Thanks for the tracks, John
Can’t believe you haven’t tapped some sucker volunteer to handle this for you by now. Your work ethic is second only to Tim Tebow! ; )
I like Josh. But I need Ws.
Haha, very true
I would volunteer to do it, but I’m just too attached to my freedom. I would feel like I had to watch my tongue in all facets of my fan participation if I became a volunteer in even one facet. We’re lucky to have the Tracks, though. It saves a lot of time – sort of a one-stop-shop.
It's Alex, just Alex. But you can call me Alex=)
Thanks John....Tebow will be a stud...good article by Pork Chop!
Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

Thanks John
Sad about Kelley, but look at Colquitt, cut last year, only to be seemingly the front runner this year for his spot.
That's quite a long handle there, G Funk. - That's what she said.
First (and only, in our lifetimes) team to three consecutive SB wins!!!! ( =

Thanks for the tracks, John!
Gotta love this quote from Tebow…
"It’s 24 hours football," Tebow said. "I love it. This is how I’m going to spend my summer."
Take my advice... I'm not using it!
"If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague."
interesting on tebow
reading between the lines it is possible to start having some doubts, like that effort can only go so far. I hope that Tebow’s effort finally does start translating into nfl-quality speed and skill but it’s too early to say.
Gee Tune, help me see where you're coming from;
Like you said, it is too early to say. However, I didn’t see anything to make me feel he was falling off of any time-lines or failing to show the prerequisite talents. So far during this OTA, we have heard that his arm strength is not a problem (per McD), he seems to be working hard at the learning the playbook and defensive reads (KO seems to have taken a full season to “get it” ), and I don’t think it would be asking too much to have the throwing mechanics and footwork to be in place by the time that is accomplished (in my mind, a full season, perhaps two if KO or Quinn plays really well). Your comment caught me a little off-guard, unless it was just that the work ethic thing is perhaps a little over-reported.
During media interviews, McD has been almost obsessive about balancing any praise of all the rookies with some reality checks, so I am not reading too much into his stating Tebow looks like a rookie at times.
