You you think about it, you don’t see too many muscle bound quarterbacks in the NFL.
The reason Tebow is built that way is because in college he also ran like a fullback. He wouldn’t survive two weeks in the NFL running the way he does if he wasn’t built like a fire truck.
Former NFL head coach Brian Billick thinks that is one of the reason his fundamentals are lacking as QB.
Current analyst and former NFL head coach Brian Billickbelieves he did.
“To me, that was a little weak to say, ‘He is going to be the starter when we go to training camp,’. I think we’re gonna have a whole bunch of liar’s poker between now and the draft and free agency and beyond,” Billick said Monday night on NFL Total Access, noting that he believes the Broncos will acquire a quarterback who could challenge Tebow for the starting role.
Billick wasn’t done there. Like everyone else, he also criticized Tebow’s mechanics and physical makeup, saying a lot of changes need to be made over the offseason.
“I think the No. 1 thing Tim Tebow has to do, I don’t think he can lift the way he’s lifted before,” Billick explained. “There’s three people that can’t lift the way Tim Tebow does: pro quarterbacks, pro tennis players and golfers. He has got to cut back on that rigid, thick (frame). I know it keeps him alive as a running quarterback, but it does not bode well for his passing, the fluidity that he has to have. So that’s, to me, job one in the offseason, he’s got to change his (conditioning) mindset.”

I see what Billick is saying, I hope Tebow gets one full year to prove himself. If he flops then go get you a quarterback. The Broncos have invested all this time and money into Tebow, the prudent thing is to give him one year to prove he can be a legit starting quarterback in the NFL.
