Tim Tebow: 3 Reasons Why Tebow Experiment is Doomed To Fail

It looks as if Broncos fans are going to get what they have been calling for; unfortunately, they are about to realize that the idea of Tim Tebow starting is better in thought than it is in reality.

Despite John Fox's decision to start Tebow in Week 7, he is not ready to turn this Broncos team around. He is a flawed quarterback. Here are the three biggest factors that will lead to his failure.

Arm Talent

The first and most glaring factor impeding Tebow's path to NFL success is his lack of arm talent. Tebow is not an accurate thrower. This is a quick path to failure in the NFL.

He also doesn't have the kink of arm strength that allows him to make the kinds of throws that can spread out a defense and open things up for passes over the middle.

Also his delivery, while improved, is still very flawed. When pressured or winding up for a big pass Tebow will bring the ball down to low. This leaves him susceptible to big fumbles and turnovers.

Quick Decisions

Tebow is still not fluid in an NFL offense. For a QB to overcome the kind of arm deficiencies, that we just discussed, he has to make quick decisions. He has to be able to read a defense at the line and know who will be open, and then hit those receivers with confidence. 

While Tebow will naturally progress in this regard with repetition this is also a skill that just comes more naturally for some. It is hard to imagine he would be elite in this regard.

Tebow is at his best when plays break down. There he can use his feet to create. However, he has grown used to relying on this. If you do that too much in the NFL, you will be on the IR in the blink of an eye.

Lack of a Running Game

The Broncos are just 20th in the NFL in rushing yards. A strong rushing game is any young QB's best friend. While the addition of Tebow will undoubtedly help their run game, they still do not have the kind of team that can take over a game on the ground.

This is going to put too much of the burden of moving the ball on Tebow's passing ability. This is going to lead to interceptions and ultimately failure.
