True or false. If he would have swallowed his ego and changed to a position other than qb (position based on what scouts and coaches agreed he could excel at) he woulda prolonged his nfl career by 4 years.

I say true

Edit: thanks I fixed it

You have 5 years to play 4 in college.

Eta: do you think any NFL team gave him a real shot to be himself? I don't. .. so we can't know if he would have been a great NFL QB

I honestly think he would have found some sort of role in the NFL if it weren't for the circus that followed him.

Had the will and talent to be a good backup and 3rd and short qb. Wish he would've stuck with it longer. Great leadership and awareness as well.

Prob not 4 yrs, but I could have seen 1-2 extra years if he would have switched positions.

False

I don't see why everyone thinks he'd be good at another position.

Tebow ran a 4.71 at the combine. That was slower than 6 much bigger TEs and not in top 20 of running backs.

He also scored a 3/dumbass on the wonderlic.

He could still be in the league on max protect punt team but not much else.

I have no problem with what he did. In the NFL, it seems to me that if you want to be a Quarterback, you have to say you want to be a Quarterback come hell or high water. It takes supreme confidence. If you say, "well, I want to play Quarterback but I'm willing to do a few wildcat plays and run out of the slot to help the team," then guess what's going to happen to you? You're going to become the latter.

Absolutely true. Dude is an athlete, just not a QB.

Disagree, would have been an awkward conversion. Might as well work on improving his current position

Why though? He didn't want to be a football player, he wanted to be a QB.
