Tebow: A Good Fit For Buffalo Bills
Published: January 7, 2010

The Buffalo Bills are a team that is in desperate need of a starting quarterback, and Tim Tebow could be the future.
The Bills have not had consistent play from the quarterback position since the days of Jim Kelly. Tebow’s physical features reminds me of Kelly, and he plays the game the way Kelly did: tough and physical. Kelly is 6’3″ 226 pounds and Tebow is 6’3″ 245 pounds. Kelly and Tebow’s greatest assets are that both are big tough physical quarterbacks and that’s what the Bills need again.
Even Jim Kelly himself believes that the Bills should draft Tebow. Kelly was quoted as saying, “If I’m the owner, that’s what I’m thinking. Whether it’s Tim Tebow, whether they’ll have a shot at him when draft time comes…you have to look at the top three quarterbacks in the draft, really study them. And you look for a guy with good character, good leadership ability and good arm strengthened a guy who doesn’t come from California.” Kelly does make a valid point about assessing quarterbacks and bringing in a guy like Tebow.
Many people would probably argue that Tebow wouldn’t make a good NFL quarterback and that he should play halfback or fullback, or even just be slotted in the wildcat formation. Tebow has proven throughout his college career that he is capable of being a starting quarterback and that can translate to the NFL as well.
He’s lead his team the Florida Gators to four bowl games including two BCS National Championships in which they won three out of the four bowl games including winning two national championships. He has proven that he can play in the big time games and be successful and hopefully that success will prepare him for the NFL. Some of is career passing statistics include passing for 9,285 yards and 88 touchdown passes.
Not only do the Bills need Tebow’s physical attributes, but they need his mental toughness as well. The kid has a huge heart and he shows it every time he goes out ob the field. He is a leader and that’s something that they Bills need—a voice for the team. He may be young but he is a heck of a leader for his age.
Tebow is not the only answer to the Bills needs on offense. They need to get a stable offensive line together, injuries didn’t help the cause for the Bills last season. With a good healthy offensive line with the right quarterback and the right play caller the Bills may be able to do good things on the field on Sundays next season.
People shouldn’t be so critical about Tebow, for all that he has done in his college career the kid deserves a chance to start in the NFL.
