I don't understand the obsessive hatred for Tebow. He is one of the greatest college QB's of all time but, like many many other great college QB's, just doesn't have the skills needed at the pro level which, unlike basketball, is an entirely different game.
The skills needed to excel in college at the QB position are just not the same as at the pro level. Tebow is hardly the first hyped Heisman winning QB not to make it in the NFL. Over the past 20 years or so it has been won by the likes of Andrew Ware, Ty Detmer, Gino Torretta, Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Jason White and Troy Smith.
Arguably since 1989 the Heisman Trophy winning QB who had the most success in the NFL is Carson Palmer. That alone speaks volumes.
