Do analysts make good judgement calls on players making the transiton to the NFL?



Every football analyst in the sports nation has said repetitively that now junior and Heisman winner Tim Tebow cannot be an NFL quarterback. Really? The reason this arose in my head was based off the Heisman ceremony, how everyone was in awe of the Oklahoma QB by the name of Sam Bradford. I'm not knocking the guy, but in relation to his: 1. team he plays for 2. the division he plays for and the lack of the defense against the pass and 3. the worst term ever for a college football team wining big "sexy".
1. Oklahoma is very well known for having not just the best pass offenses but also the overall balance in domination on offenses in the last few years. Every player coming from that program is great, Just look at Adrian Peterson. One of his "flaws" was he could not catch...so much for a flaw in his two seasons with the Vikes he has 38 receptions with 377 yards, a 60 yard long and averages 9.9 yards per reception...
2. 339.9 and 3,196...was the top yards per game and the total passing yards by the top defense in the big 12...Texas was number 1...in the SEC only one team was worse than UT (and the rest are better) Arkansas. Yes Bobby Petrino's new team was worse in the yards per game...375.2 and total passing yards for the season...2,435
3. That word is only acceptable in terms of females...not growing men beating the hell out of each other for 60+ minutes.
Now before the loss to Ole Miss I really resented Tim Tebow, but after watching how Mr. Tebow cared more for his team, his school and his program i finally respected the guy. Sure Tebow won't throw 48 TDs but he'll motivate his team not only on offense but on defense. Yes in my eyes Sam Bradford is a legit #1 overall pick. Yet, Tim Tebow is a "big discussion"...what the hell? a long delivery...have you seen Philip Rivers? he starts in mini camps and releases the ball around the AFC championship. Mr. Todd McShay is a smart guy...but on this subject just leave it to superman...cause at the end of the day...Tim Tebow will blow us all away.
