Straight from the Orange and Blue Hue (not on my normal reading menu, but I clicked one too many damn times)
Okay, so UF returns incumbent Heisman winner and part-time superman Tim Tebow. But with that being said, it’s time for Tim to impress the NFL draft scouts. Even with a trophy case of awards, the pros still have some concerns about #15:
* Criticism of Meyer’s system. After all, he did coach a first overall draft pick in Alex Smith, who has yet to reach his potential. And Tebow is cut from the same cloth as Smith.
I've been preaching that for the last 6 months.
* His rushing must drop, but not disappear. NFL teams hit harder, bigger, and faster than in college, and with sixteen games in an NFL regular season compared to twelve in college, scouts are worried that he’ll land in a hospital.Also, they want to see a slightly more elusive running style. Ideally, he’ll be a more athletic Ben Roethlisberger or Donovan McNabb.
Ditto that........the well publicized shoulder boo-boo and the broken hand are the ones that we know about. Those things have a tendency to accumulate.

Oh Oh Oh.....easy on the arm fellas
* His mechanics. Scouts would like to see tighter spirals and a slightly higher release point to take advantage of his height.
Ok, my take on this one has been the he throws alot of ducks....same thing

I call this my "Tim Wakefield" delivery* Intangibles. Not everyone will view Tebow’s emotional displays after wins or losses as an asset.
I've called it "cryin like a bitch"
If Tim can do all of that, he’ll be in good shape for the draft should he choose to turn pro. But based upon his priority list, I think he’ll stay another year, get his degree, and only then turn pro.
But if he’s not careful, he might wind up switching positions on an NFL roster. Think it’s impossible, Tim?
Ask Antwaan Randle-El.
Ok, dude, you just entered the twilight zone.
That last comment really knocked me out. How in the bloody blue hell does Tebow resemble Randle-El in any way? Teebone's not slow, but he's not NFL caliber WR talent either. Tight end or safety, maybe. Let's keep it real.

For the record, he'll still be a QB in the NFL
