Is Collin Klein the new Tebow? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Kansas State QB just wins.

I think he's better than Tebow. Bigger and stronger. Dude is doing it without top recruits too. Tebow had Percy Harvin, Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps, Riley Cooper, Louis Murphy, and Aaron Hernandez who all made it to the NFL.

It's a good comparison but Klein is bigger and can throw it better IMO. You are right all he does is wins. Peeps around here are talking about them running the table. The W tonight will really get the talk ramped up even more. I'm anxious to see how the Heisman voting goes.

He's better then Tebow, could even become a first round pick when the time comes..

agree! if Kstate wins out or possibly even with one good loss trophy should be his...i just don't see how anyone else is even close at this point.

if he can prove he's legit nfl passing-capable, which I'm still on the fence about but tend to think he is, he could be the first qb taken.

KSTATE!!! the big 12's last hope at the title! Klein is a beast too!

As a sooners fan... i hope he hurries and goes to the nfl. :-)

I've only seen him play once but the difference is he's a real QB not a RB who just happens to throw occasionally.

That's a sad story.

I'm stuck in the middle of SEC country man. We don't get many K-State games here. Plus my cable has been screwed up.

Hey Yeager...I have watched nearly every K-State game the last two years. In my opinion he is a guy that throws only when needed. No one should confuse him with RG3. He has a awkward throwing motion, but for whatever reason manages to get the ball where it needs to be. With that being said, he has become a more accomplished passer this season, but the meat of his game is hammering opponents with his runs. He is such an effective runner that it opens up the passing game.

I am not convinced he is a NFL quality QB with regards to his arm. I am a huge K-State fan, but I just don't see it. He is a better player than Tebow, so someone will take a flyer on him. I would be happy to see a star on his helmet, but not before the fourth round.

I have not watched them as much as you but I agree with your post.

I think some seen him vs the WVU game and just assumed he was more of a passer vs a runner but right now a one legged, half blind bearded lady could put up good passing numbers vs WVU.

That's a great assessment of Klein. It isn't always pretty but this guy has Charlie Sheen's disease - WINNING!

That is the game I saw.

He's not an NFL QB. His throwing motion is even worse than Tebow. I don't know what his role will be in the NFL...he'll definitely get a look somewhere because of his size/athleticism but he also has a TON of miles on his body and a lot of hits taken.
