Tebow vs. Bradford
Total Pro Sports- Last night the Florida Gators, led by Tim Tebow, won the BCS National Championship. The game definitely lived up to the hype as it featured the last two Heisman winners, Tim Tebow (2007) and Sam Bradford (2008), trading blows all game long. Bradford had a solid game for the Oklahoma Sooners in a losing effort, but may have cost his team the game by throwing a 4th quarter interception. Tebow, played great throwing 2 touchdowns and rushing for over 100 yards.
After watching the game all I could think about was which player would be the better pro QB? Traditional thinking would say that Bradford plays the position better than Tebow. He seems to have a better arm and has solid pocket presence, both of which are characteristics that pro scouts salivate over. However, Tebow is a dual threat and has a leadership quality which is unmatched.
I feel that in this years NFL draft, Bradford will be the higher pick and might have the unfortunate luck of being drafted by the Detroit Lions. The Sooners offensive line was one of the best in the country this year which helped Bradford stay in the pocket and put up monster numbers. If the Lions were to draft him he would be spending a lot more time on the turf and on the trainers table.
Tebow on the other hand, might land on a better team and could have a bigger impact. He might see his draft stock fall because of questions regarding his passing ability and that could work out for his benefit. Also, with many NFL teams now implementing the Wildcat offense, Tebow could be very effective right away.
Bradford and Tebow both have tremendous potential as NFL quarterbacks and any team lucky to land either one in this years draft will certainly be elated. If I were a GM I would want Tim Tebow for sure, who would you want?

Tebow all the way!!

Tebow, definitely
college fb – tebow (he does everything)
nfl – bradford (the nfl has learned how to shut down the scrabbling qb ever since vick, bradford is the smarter and better pocket passer)
Colt McCoy

If you’re talking about the pro level, there’s no doubt that I’d choose Bradford over Tebow. Sure Tebow had a great college career, but there’s no way his skills translate well to the NFL where defenses would force him to stay in the pocket and try beating their corners and safeties. He’s essentially a running back with a decent arm, and that won’t work at the next level.
I’m not a fan of Oklahoma, but Bradford has a much brighter NFL future.
Well, for the first time this year Bradford was taken out of his comfort zone by a pass rush. I had answered a few questions earlier in the month where I said Florida would get to Bradford and it would make a difference. Of course, I received negative votes and a few e-mails saying that I was crazy because of the superior Oklahoma offensive line. Well, I certainly got the last laugh.
I would take Tebow because of his potential and leadership. I remember watching Billy Kilmer for the Skins and folks made fun of him because he threw wounded ducks. However, he found his target and his teammates to the man had great confidence in his ability because of his leadership. That’s something one cannot teach. Either you have it or you don’t. Tebow has it.
LOL! Well at least you guys are consistent in that I received another negative vote. Wait until folks like Tuck, Haynesworth, Lewis, etc. put a hit on Bradford then we will see how accurate he is.
