NFL is now a passing league, you can't compete for the Super Bowl without a QB who is in the top 10 of QB's in the league.
it sounds like Tebow is going to Buffalo. Buffalo is a team who can take a risk, they ain't going anywhere anyway, they need to keep their fans interested, Tebow accomplishes that.

I don't believe that philosophy at all to be serious for a rare second. In fact I think a quarterback should have it in him to pass, but the very best have never been known for winning superbowls, at least passing wasn't their skill at the times except for completion percentage i.e. Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Bradshaw, Starbauch, Elway, etc,. they were all great passers in the clutch but they weren't yardage achievers or touchdown gainers except on certain specific years and they actually failed going all the way in those years.
I see another Bledsoe in this Tebow guy and Bledsoe might have been a giant if things had gone his way. God knows he should have won that superbowl against Greenbay if Parcels hadn't been on the phone making a deal with the Jets.
