Tim Tebow: How He Can Succeed in the NFL and with the Denver Broncos

Introduction

Tim Tebow has been in the news secondary to his football skills and his Christian faith. Josh Zerkle recently published an article about Tebow's performance with the Denver Broncos on B/R.

Liam Casey (The Star Staff Reporter) wrote another article suggesting that Tebow would do better in Canada instead of the NFL. Casey interviewed Doug Flutie, Giulio Caravatta and Matt Dunnigan of the Canadian Football League (CFL) for his story.

Problems and Solutions Presented

Zerkle wrote about how Tebow is a "terrible" NFL quarterback. Zerkle continues in his article about how the Denver Broncos have an offensive line which is bad.

Zerkle suggested that Tebow can be kept under center until there is a change in the Broncos strategy. Flutie, Caravatta and Dunnigan discussed how some of the problems could benefit the CFL.

The CFL trio dealt with the mind, the arm and the athletics. How can we reconcile the suggestions by Zerkle and the CFL trio (Flutie, Caravatta and Dunnigan) so that Tebow can remain with the NFL and the Broncos?

The decision was made to tackle the problems and solutions presented by Zerkle and the CFL trio. The solutions presented complements what was proposed.

How Tebow Can Remain in the NFL

I am in agreement with Zerkle about the need to maintain Tebow under center until the Broncos change their football strategy, What can be done is to upgrade the wide receiver position in the next NFL draft.

The other change that could be suggested is to renovate the offensive line if possible. Whether it could help Tebow remain with the NFL and with the Broncos remains to be seen.

The CFL trio talked about the mind and the need for improvement in Tebow's confidence. Dunigan suggested that the Broncos should allow Tebow creativity in the plays involving his lower extremities (legs).

Flutie commented about the need to take risks in a football match. The CFL trio agreed that Tebow has the positive mentality to win if the Broncos were to be flexible.

I agree with the CFL trio, that the mind is the center between success and failure. While the Broncos need to be flexible with Tebow (to an extent), Tebow has to think success in his mind during the matches.

The CFL trio discussed about Tebow's arm strengths and throw potential. Flutie talks about how Tebow throws lack accuracy.

Flutie chalks that up to lack of confidence in the matches. Caravatta recognizes the defects in Tebow's throws and says that there is no need for a change.

Dunigan talked about Tebow's arm strength, but the specifics cannot be appreciated. I agree with Flutie concerning the lack of accuracy, but disagree with Caravatta and Dunigan.

Tebow needs to change the methods and ways of throwing a football. The athletes in a competitive environment such as the NFL improve on a continuing basis.

The arm strength of Tebow needs to be measured so that there could be a method to make accurate throws. Tebow may need more practice in order to have accurate throws.

The CFL trio continued with the athleticism portion of Tebow. Flutie commented about defenses and basic running attacks helping Tebow.

Caravatta said that part of Tebow's game is prefabricated for him. Carvatta commented on Tebow's ability to obtain a first down.

Dunnigan commented on Tebow's ability to run the ball to demolish the defense. While the CFL trio praised Tebow, there is a need for consistency.

Justin Uselton addressed Tebow's trust issues with receivers. I agree with Uselton that Tebow's problem lies in the mind and taking risks.

While the need to think success in the mind has been addressed, Tebow has to take risks during matches. Dan Marino and Peyton Manning became successful NFL quarterbacks because they did not think twice.

Conclusion

While the discussion of Tebow (and his ability to remain with the NFL and with the Denver Broncos) will continue, only Tebow can decide for himself what can be done.
