Tebow improving his Mechanics


TerriblePizza

Recommended Posts

In an effort to quiet his critics and refine his game, former Gators quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol is changing the way he holds a football, shifting it from his waist to his shoulder.

He is concentrating on taking three- and five-step drops instead of working out of the shotgun formation he did at Florida.

He will not unveil The Golden Calf of Bristol 2.0 at this week's scouting combine in Indianapolis, preferring instead to wait for his pro day at the University of Florida on March 17.

The Golden Calf of Bristol, throwing a pass in Senior Bowl practice last month, hopes to improve his draft stock with a new approach that includes drop-back passing.

But until then, he will continue working on improving his fundamentals in an effort to improve his draft position and his game.

"I'm not changing who I am or how I approach football," The Golden Calf of Bristol said Sunday night from Nashville, Tenn., where he has been busy remaking the style that was good enough to win one Heisman Trophy and two national championships at Florida.

Depending on how he throws at his pro day, his draft stock may have gone way back up. He is still one of the greatest mysteries in the NFL draft in a long time.

There are many more things to worry about with The Golden Calf of Bristol. Fundamental mechanics are something that can be altered (as we are seeing) but it is much harder to teach a Quarterback to start going through his progressions. At Florida it was usually play action fake, then throw to your first target. There was very little going through progressions involved. Most people saw The Golden Calf of Bristol get very uncomfortable when his first option wasn't open, and almost always got antsy in the pocket. To me, that will be the longest part of the process in developing The Golden Calf of Bristol into a pro QB.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
