Tim Tebow: Tom Brady's QB Coach Claims He Could Fix Tebow in 2 Weeks

Behind every successful NFL quarterback is a sage-like coach. Or two. Or three. Or a dozen.

In the case of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, one sage-like coach has been around for quite a while: Tom Martinez.

You've probably heard about Martinez at one point or at several points throughout Brady's storied career. He's had a relationship with Brady ever since he was a teenager, and he has played a big part in shaping Brady's career, which is one of the greatest in NFL history.

Martinez did an interview on 790 The Zone in Atlanta on Thursday. He was asked the usual questions, such as how his relationship with Brady started, other quarterbacks he's worked with over the years and how his health is holding up these days (his search for a kidney donor is ongoing).

Inevitably, the conversation turned towards Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Because, you know, every conversation involving quarterbacks or the NFL has to involve Tim Tebow.

Martinez was honest about what he thinks of Tebow. Via SportsRadioInterviews.com, here's what he had to say:

"

I think Tim Tebow is willing to do anything that people tell him to do. He’s like Brady in the sense that he’s an internal warrior. I think when he started in the NFL, whoever they put him with, I personally kind of disagree with the mechanics he was given. He’s trying to prove the same thing Brady was trying to prove.

"

And then the big question: How soon could Martinez fix Tebow if he were to give him a call?

“Two weeks. … I could give him what I call correct mechanics in two weeks," said Martinez.

You heard it here first. Martinez thinks he can do in two weeks what the Broncos haven't been able to do in two years. In essence, he thinks he could be Tebow's Yoda. Yoda was able to turn Luke Skywalker into a Jedi Knight in a matter of days, and Martinez could turn Tebow into a capable, mechanically sound quarterback in a mere fortnight.

With all due respect to Martinez and the work he's done throughout his life, he's overestimating his abilities just a little bit.

Martinez said that he disagrees with the mechanics Tebow was given upon his entry into the NFL, but the truth is that Tebow's mechanics have always been a mess. His footwork needs a lot of work, and his throwing motion is still that of a situational left-handed relief pitcher, not a quarterback.

The point has been made over and over again that this is just how Tebow throws. Everyone agrees that he needs to be fixed, but so far efforts to fix him haven't yielded any returns.

I'm not saying that Martinez couldn't succeed where others failed, mind you. I'm just saying he would need more than two weeks. If Tebow were to give him a call, Martinez would not be staring at a quick-fix project. He would be looking at a break-him-down-build-him-back-up-again project.

Would it be worth it for Tebow to give Martinez a ring? Should he go out of his way to get himself fixed?

Seeing as his mechanics can't get any worse, I'm going to say yes.

Hell yes.
