Catching up on Free agency
So Free agency has kicked off and already things are starting to move and shake. I'm just gonna look at the moves that I know of/caught my eye.
-- Julius Peppers. Yeah, had to start here didn't we. Formerly of the Panthers, now a Chicago Bear, along with RB Chester Taylor and TE Brandon Manumaleuna. I have to say, the Bears desperately needed a guy of Peppers caliber to come and bolster their pass rush, but I'm looking at the apparent contract details and just gasping. a six year deal with at least $42 million guaranteed? With incentives it could stretch to as much as $91 million. The deal will pay Peppers $20 million in just the first year. That's a hell of a spend. You'd better hope that a) Peppers works hard and b) he gives you great production right from day one, because that is the kind of contract that can hamstring a franchise. I actually like the Taylor deal more, because they badly need some support for Matt Forte. Now if they can just sort out their O-line and get Cutler to stop throwing games away....
-- Josh Cribbs, though not a free agent, has finally got a contract he's happy with, and good on him. It's hard to think of someone who has worked as hard as he has and has given as much back to his team in the last few seasons as Cribbs. Long live the Special teams specialist.
-- Vince Wilfork has been secured again by the Patriots. And with their Defense the way it is, that's a badly needed signing.
-- Karlos Dansby has landed in Miami, both figuratively and literally. In a 5 year deal estimated at $43 million dollars with maybe $22 million guaranteed, Dansby brings some quality to a Miami D that badly needed it. Is he worth quite that much? I'm not convinced, but we'll see. They've also managed to get Chad Pennington back.
-- Antrel Rolle will be swapping red for blue this season as he trades his Cardinals jersey for a Giants one. The deal is reportedly worth $37-38 million dollars, with $15 million guaranteed. Probably one of the better swoops I've heard of in this free agency, especially with the Giants secondary the way it is. For overall value, this one will take some beating.
-- Beaten. Ok so it's not a free agent move, but still, Anquan Boldin has been traded to the Ravens, along with a 5th round pick in this years draft in exchange for the Ravens 3rd and 4th picks. This deal basically satisfies everyone. The Card's already have three good receivers (Fitzgerald, Breaston, Doucet,) and have made some room for future cap considerations. They also get two picks that are pretty valuable, allowing you to take a pretty good player but without the huge expense associated with it. Boldin gets his new contract that he wanted. And finally, the Ravens get someone who can actually catch the ball and do something with it. Smiles all round.
-- CB Dunta Robinson has ended up in Atlanta. This a move many expected the Falcons to make and hopefully it will give their secondary the kick up the butt it needs. Robinson plays with good physicality, but questions over his pass defense (and bearing in mind he's a Cornerback) could come back to haunt the Falcons this year.
-- DE Kyle Vanden Bosch and WR Nate Burleson have both hooked in by Detroit. With the distinct possibility that the Lions might grab either Ndamukung Suh or Gerald McCoy with their second overall pick in this draft, that's a great steal for the Lions to get Bosch. With big pressure up the middle, that gives him more opportunities to sneak off the edge and be a difference maker. And while Burleson may not be up to the standard of Calvin Johnson, he does make a pretty good number two. Surprised that anyone would take Burleson though when Antonio Bryant is still on the market. Overall though, good moves by the Lions.
-- Gary Brackett, LB for the Colts has signed with... the Colts. Brackett is the brains of this D (in a sense) and his retention is worth the money for Indy.
-- Restricted free agent Leonard Weaver has agreed a new deal with the Eagles. His threat in both the running and passing game is much under rated. Now if only we could convince Andy Reid that running the ball isn't a sin....
-- Though nowhere near a done deal, the Seahawks are interested in WR Brandon Marshal. Marshal is a restricted free agent carrying a 1st round tender. If the Seahawks want him, they will have to up a first round pick for the deal. And to be honest, with their receiving corps, that's not a bad deal.
Hopefully either tomorrow or Sunday, in addition to keeping up with all the latest buzz in free agency, I want to delve into a topic that's always interested me; Just why is it so hard to repeat a Superbowl win?

Why I don't hate the Panthers any more
-- The Washington Redskins have the finances to make big splashes in free agency, but first you need to open some room in the future cap limit (which will undoubtedly appear in 2011/2012). The Redskins solved this problem by cutting 10 players, including RB LaDell Betts, who I think has potential somewhere. He may indeed be 30 years old, but he's been sitting behind Clinton Portis of late and so hasn't taken the battering some RB of his age have. With the injury to Portis last year we saw Betts step into the starting roll and I think he did well. There's still something left in the tank for him and he'll be a cheap pick up.
-- Antrel Rolle has been released by the Cardinals, meaning any team, including those in the final 8 of this years draft can go after him. He's one of the more youthful unrestricted guys about this year and he has great skills (in my opinion at least). A team like the Eagles could use him to fill the gap left by the departure of Brian Dawkins last year.
-- According to the crew of NFL Total Access, (now) former Steelers RB, Willie Parker is not generating much interest among potential suitors. The theory is that he was known for being fast and has now lost a step which makes him worth nothing more than a backup role. Apparently there isn't much support for him, either around the league or, and I quote, "in the blogging community". All I can say is, right here baby. I think Willie has something left to give and if he takes the slight about his speed to heart and uses it as a motivational tool, I think he becomes a pleasant surprise for someone next year.
-- Larry Johnson is being heralded as a potentially good pickup by just about everyone you ask. I look at Johnson and think "you sucked for the Chiefs, and you only got a bit better when you went to the Bengals with their superb rushing O-line,". Of course I'd very much like for Larry to prove me wrong, but I don't think it will happen.
-- Jake Delhomme has been dumped by the Panthers. I hereby officially renounce my hatred of the Panthers and hope that they will finally push DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart to the center stage of their offense, as I believe they should.
-- The breaking news making the rounds at the minute appears to be that the Chargers have agreed a trade with the Jets for CB Antonio Cromartie. Early sources suggest it could be for a third round pick in 2011, with the possibility it will become a second rounder based on Cromarties performance. That is an incredible steal. Cromartie is still pretty young and has a lot of potential to be a great corner in the league. The lingering question is his physicality and whether he can bring the goods in the run game. Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan should be able to fix that....

Freedom!!
So starting this Friday, free agency is upon us! There are ton of free agents available and in no particular order, I'd like to look at some of the more noteworthy Unrestricted Free Agents (who are free to sign with anyone, with no compensation given to the players former team).
-- Julius Peppers, DE: I guess we had to start here didn't we. 10.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions, and 42 combined tackles (assists and solo). Not bad, but the pay demands are gonna be high. Repeated applications of the Franchise tag means Peppers has got used to good pay and will want a similar deal elsewhere. Ideally he wants to be a 3-4 outside linebacker, but I guess beggars cant be choosers. Many people are pointing at New England, but I'm not sure if Belichick will be happy with the big salary needed to lure him in. Philadelphia could do with Peppers to boost a slightly anaemic defense.
-- Karlos Dansby, LB: Dansby seems to think he's in for a big payday, but he didn't clock anywhere near as many tackles as some of the top LB did last year. Yes, he's probably one of the better free agents on the market, but that says more about the market than it does about Dansby. I think teams might over reach for this guy, who will be good without being spectacular. Now that sounds more like the kind of guy Belichick would go for.
-- Darren Sharper, FS: Let's be absolutely clear about this. Sharpers numbers from last year are not, I repeat not the norm for him. He had a stand out year statistically, but I want to make something really clear here. The Saints were facing a number of poor teams due to their poor finish in the NFC South the previous year. Out of Sharpers' 9 picks, 7 came against inexperienced QB (Chad Henne, Mark Sanchez & Matthew Stafford who provided two each, Josh Freeman, Chris Redman) (Redman counts due to being a career backup). Sharper is not going to travel somewhere else and produce the same numbers. Pick him up at your peril is my message.
-- Gary Brackett, LB: More valuable to the Colts than anyone else I think. Brings experience, but not a lot of game compared to many LB already out there on teams rosters. The price would be too high I feel. Maybe gets taken by a team lacking depth.
-- Antonio Bryant, WR: Not a huge amount of buzz round him right now, but when I watch him I see fantastic receiving skills and some good runs after the catch. I think Bryant is going to surprise a lot of people next season if he ends up somewhere with a decent QB, such as Houston.
-- Antonio Pierce, LB: There are questions about his health, but if it all checks out, Pierce is a great find. I think his ability to read and diagnose plays is well known and he brings great leadership from the Mike LB spot to any defense.
-- Thomas Jones, RB: A lot of people are giving Jones no credit for his achievements. Yes he was on a run heavy team and yes his O-line was good, but his explosion through the hole was still a pretty sight to watch. Not sure what his salary demands will be, but there's still a lot of 'go' left in this guy.
-- Chester Taylor, RB: He may be 30-years old, but being a backup to Adrian Peterson has shielded him from a lot of harm. He is a versatile player who brings a lot of goods to the table. Someone is about to get a free agent bargain.
-- Darren Sproles, RB: Not entirely sure whether he is unrestricted, but I'm reliably informed he is. If so, Sproles will find a home easily. He's fast, can catch, plays very well on special teams and has developed a technique for effective blocking in the passing game. All around a very solid back.
-- LaDanian Tomlinson, RB: The question is this; can he still give you the goods between the tackles and at the LOS? I believe so. My big bug this week (other than the NFL networks choice of camera angles and cameramen at the Combine) has been people saying that LT doesn't have it any more because his numbers have dropped. In response I would simply say, look at the Chargers O-line. They couldn't open a running lane for Chris Johnson. When LT moves he will hopefully end up somewhere a little more run friendly and I think he will produce the goods.
-- Kevin Faulk, RB: A solid back for New England, there's life left in the old dog yet. The thing that surprised me most last year was how well he ran behind a pass first O-line and how solid he looked at times in short yardage play. The Patriots haven't been a run heavy team for a long time, so despite his age, Faulk is still in pretty good shape.
-- Brian Westbrook, RB: Versatile back, but maybe too many questions about his health. He's contributed a lot in both the passing and running game for the Eagles, but not really enough combined or individually to really make him an attractive prospect.
-- Willie Parker, RB: So maybe he's not quite 'fast' Willie Parker anymore, but he still has some gas left in the tank I feel. He's 29, but his injury last year means he had a lot of time out of the firing line. I think he might have a point to prove after losing his starting job to Mendenhall. Keep an eye on this one.
-- Kevin Mawae, C: The Titans veteran O-linemen is likely to end up going back to his original team, maybe as a backup, but I'd be interested in him if I was a coach. With his solid off-field reputation combined with his veteran years, he is a good role model and motivator for any under achieving side, as well as being a savvy linemen in his own right.
-- Ben Watson, TE: More of a pass catcher than a run blocker, but a lot of teams need a TE and Watson will certainly bring value no matter where he ends up.
-- Kyle Vanden Bosch, DE: Minus Albert Haynesworth, the Titans Defense was in trouble. Vanden Bosch is still a very capable player, but teams knew that and could focus more attention on him. Get him on a team where there are other threats on the line, where the pocket can be squeezed a little more, and he'll have success.
-- Aaron Kampman, DE: Was just getting the hang of playing in a 3-4 when he went down injured. I think Kampman can make the transition still to OLB, but I think he'd be happier and therefore probably more productive if he could his hand in the turf again in a 4-3 scheme.
-- Terrell Owens, WR: With a good QB I think he can still roll, but it remains to be seen where he ends up. Don't expect miracles if he arrives in Cleveland for example.
-- Joey Porter, LB: Hmm. 32 years old now. It depends on the contract. For a veteran minimum, I think he's worth a shot.
Well, that about wraps that one up. We still have to wait a few days before we see free agency open, but when it does, I think it might prove more interesting than people think. Just remember that in this uncapped year, the top eight teams are quite restricted as to their dealings in free agency. I also think that outside of the first and second round, this years draft probably wont amount to much, so look for the worse off teams to going shopping.

Here endeth the lesson
So that's it, combine is done now. The DBs have finished and now I've had a chance to look at them, here's my thoughts on the final group:
-- Taylor Mays was clocked unofficially going as fast in the 40-yard dash as 4.26. Officially his time was slower, but having seen a slow motion ghost capture of him running against Jacoby Ford, I don't see how, the two were separated by mere hundredths of a second not tenths. In addition to his speed, Mays did well in the drills (remember my comments earlier about watching the ball into the hands? That applies here) and with his physicality when he gets to the ball, Mays is looking very good to go on and become an impact player.
-- Devin McCourty also impressed today. He played both corner and some safety in high school before becoming a bona fide corner in college at Rutgers. Kid looks good, may slip under the radar for a bit, maybe creep into the second round thanks to all the hype around guys like Hayden and with all the strong players at other positions. McCourty in the second round is a good little pick I think.
-- So what have we learnt over the last few days? Err, not a lot to be honest. All the guys we thought were going to be good were. Maybe a few red flags popped up, but nothing huge. Now it's back to the film rooms across the nation as coaches and scouts check, double check and triple check on the players they're interested in, while maybe having a second look at some of the guys who previously hadn't made many ripples.
-- Ever wondered what your favourite player gets paid? Now you can find out!! Kind of. I found a link on USAToday.com to their database of player salaries, but it should be noted that the accuracy of their data is not entirely verifiable as it's been taken from a number of sources, some of which may not include all the various little things that end up in players contracts. But it gives you a good idea. Here's the link:

Group 10
Group 10 just finished their field drills and there were four guys who made a mark in my humble estimation.
-- Eric Berry, as you might expect, was very solid. The difference between him and the other DBs was light and day. Footwork, speed, hands, agility, he just lit that whole session up.
-- Joe Haden is being touted as the top prospect at CB coming into this draft (as NFL.com decided to remind us... by interrupting the live drills to show a promo piece on him). Honestly, I thought he ranked alongside A.J. Jefferson as one of the two worst guys in this drill. Drops, bad feet, lazy attitude, neither of these two really did themselves a favour.
-- Both Chris & Kam Chancellor performed well. They were solid overall and I particularly liked the way they were always watching the ball into their hands. That small point of technique is not only important for making interceptions, but it tells me that they've taken the time to learn their trade and practice it until it's instinctive. Nice work.
-- Aside from Eric Berry, Kendrick Lewis was a guy who stood out from the pack. He was consistently giving it his all through the drills and apart from one drop he had a very good outing. Nice footwork and agility.
And just to make sure I ram the point home, NFL.coms coverage of the combine has been awful. I don't know who they hired as cameramen, or what the director was doing when he was supposed to be organising the show, but it was a joke. Actually it was worse than that, because I wasn't laughing at how bad it was, I was getting mad.
Points of interest for next year. When the guys are doing drills, point the camera at them, put your graphic on screen somewhere where it doesn't obstruct our view of their footwork, and then keep the camera on them. I don't wanna see pictures of guys walking to the start of a drill and if you're going to give us an explanation of the drill, how about you run the VT (with sound this time) BEFORE the drill, not during it! The whole point of showing the workouts is that's what people want to see and nothing short of some major catastrophe or breaking news should interrupt that!
Searching for an angle
I'm currently trying to watch the DBs go through their on field workouts, so I'd like to once again take the chance to commend NFL.com for putting on a video to show us what the scouts are looking for........ during the f%$*ing drill.
Thanks for that.
Add to that their insistence on constantly panning the camera off in random directions, seeming to be more concerned with watching guys stepping up to start of the drill than actually filming guys doing the drills, and what you end up with is a frustrating and poorly directed piece of programming.
It's not panning out well
I know I've already put out a long post today but I just have to get this complaint off my chest. I've been trying to go back and watch film of the D-linemen going through their workouts and I just have to say this:
NFL Network.
SORT YOUR DAMN CAMERAWORK OUT!!!!!!
It was bugging me earlier, now it's just making me crazy. Switching between cameras constantly, following players who've finished their drills and are walking back while another prospect is still working out, constantly focusing on guys like Suh so we end up missing the drills, and generally filming just about everything possible except the damn prospects who are currently on the drill.
For gods sake, invest in a stand where your camera can see the action and then keep it focused on the action. That's the whole point of putting the draft on TV!!
D-Fense!!!!!!!!! (Sorry, I don't have a fence symbol).
So much to talk about, so little time, so let's stop wasting it and get down to business:
-- Thomas Jones of the New York Jets will be released from his contract this Friday, making him a free agent. This move is good for everyone I think. Jones is 31 now and the Jets have both Leon Washington and Shonne Greene to take over next season and between them I think they have the potential to be an explosive backfield duo. Jones meanwhile can now get a contract worthy of his skills. The trouble he had previously, and why he wanted to renegotiate his contract last off season (at which he was unsuccessful), was that his contract was front loaded, meaning he received approximately $13.1 million dollars up front, but last year took home just $900,000 in base salary (yeah I know, "just $900,000"). This year he was expected to take home $2.8 million in base with a $3.3 million roster bonus. Jones still has talent and teams like the Chargers and the Redskins could use a guy like Jones (yes, that is me officially rating Jones over Portis).
-- It wouldn't be the 2010 combine weekend if I didn't mention Tim Tebow every single day, so here we go again. The most recent spat that's going around is that Florida Gators Head coach Urban Meyer and his staff did Tebow an injustice by not preparing him properly for a career in the NFL. Which is funny, because here was little ol' me thinking that Meyer and his staff were paid good money to help the Gators win football games and championships. I never realised that the University of Florida actually pays them to prepare players for a future career in the pros! There are just times when I want to grab peoples heads, often NFL personnel guys or coaches, and then ram them violently together.
-- Talking of using your head (see that transition... smooth), let's talk about Myron Rolle whose draft stock has apparently plummeted a bit in the last few days. And get this, it's because he's intelligent. Yes, a potential NFL player is sliding down draft boards because he has the audacity to be smart and want to improve his prospects in life. The Florida State Seminoles safety was accepted on a Rhodes scholarship and has ambitions to become a neuro-surgeon when he leaves football. Which I think is highly commendable. On top of that, he's been know to work out in the off season with players from the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is a great thing on so many levels. The biggest knock that teams seem to have is that he will be too much of a thinker as opposed to reacting instinctively. Unlike Ed Reed of course, one of the best safeties in the game, who spends huge amounts of time watching film and using his brain power to break teams down, so that on the field he can react.... uh, instinctively. I've got high hopes for Rolle and if his fourth round prediction is true, that's a hell of a steal for someone.
-- As my regulars will know, I'm a huge fan of the Bench Press (can you smell the sarcasm?). Watching the DBs was pathetic. I'm pretty sure there were one or two guys in there who didn't even notch one proper rep. Credit to Eric Berry and the top repping DB, Lucien Antoine, who seemed to lock out on most of their reps. I know I sound like a technique freak, but it's simple logic. If you're gonna make the guys do it and then analyse and compare them based on their results, then at least make them do it properly, otherwise what's the point? You're just letting guys inflate their stock artificially without putting in the work.
-- Suh versus McCoy today and to be honest, both guys were pretty solid. McCoy got in a quicker 40 time compared to Suhs' higher bench press reps from yesterday. But other than that, they're still neck and neck for the first pick. Personally I'm still with McCoy. I think his lateral quickness and instincts will serve him a little better in a league where passing is the norm and most teams are starting to use zone style running schemes.
-- As for the rest of the DL and LB who were out today, two guys stood head and shoulders above the rest for me. Derrick Morgan, DE out of Georgia Tech, showed fantastic movement on all the drills. I like his quick feet and fluid motion. Probably a little heavy to be a 3-4 outside rusher but put his hand in the ground and this kid is ready to roll. The other player who caught my eye was Sean Weatherspoon, LB from Missouri, did great on all the drills, pretty quick, but the thing I like the most is his change of direction. Most players when they want to change direction will plant and drive, effectively stopping then starting again. Weatherspoon has a different style, a much more flowing move that keeps his momentum and speed up. It's hard to explain, but he kinda places that outside foot down, then rolls his inside foot in and then back in the direction he wants to go. It's a much smoother motion. For comparison, look at these two symbols:
<
(
The first one represents the traditional plant and drive motion, while the second one is more like Weatherspoons footwork, only he's a little more circular than that. For a better comparison, watch Joe Montana when he used to drop back on some of the quicker pass plays. He kind of drifts a little to the side with his last step(s) and then comes forward to throw in one fluid move.
In fact, being the generous guy that I am, here's a link to Montana in Superbowl 19: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa2usy_super-bowl-19-study_sport
I don't know who posted this video, but the description is worth reading as well. Somebody posted it as a study project of sorts on the Bill Walsh offense, proposing that the 3 step drop was nowhere near as influential as the 5 and 7 step drop were (read my info on the side to get my take). So I actually took the time to sit down and watch it all and makes notes, so I'd like to present these to you here.
There were 41 intended pass plays (regardless of their actual end result, such as Montana running). Of these, only 8 plays, that's roughly 19.5% were 3 steppers. There were nine 5 step plays (22%), and seven, 7 step plays (17%). Playaction in it's various forms accounted for 17 plays (41%).
What's also interesting is that out of those 41 plays, 20 of them, almost half, were run from what Walsh called "Red" formation (known to everyone else as simply the 'splitbacks' set). This is interesting because if you look at modern WCO teams in the last ten years, they hardly used the splitbacks set and commonly go for a lot of 3 WR sets, whereas I only counted 6 such sets, 15%, in this whole game from Walsh, for passing at least. He also spent another 14 plays in other two back sets, notably the I formation.
The key thing here is that over the years, the idea of using backs as dump offs and safety valves on 5 and 7 step plays, as well as play action, has been corrupted into the derisive idea of the WCO being a 'dink and dunk' type offense. But the idea is you run a seven step play or a play action play, then you throw to the open receiver. If the guy down field is free, that's great, give him the ball. But the key thing is, if he's not open, then at least you have a checkdown to go to who can help get you some yards. You have big play potential with ball control built in.
And probably the biggest difference from then to now is that Walsh never demanded his QB should throw the ball down field regardless of whether the throw was there or not. He understood patience and the building of a series of first downs. I think this is key to the success of the Walsh Offense.
Well, that's me spent for the day. Thanks for stopping by for a read and have a great day everyone.

A typically reliable Ford
-- I know I've already talked a little bit about this the other day but I saw the bench press results for the DL/LB and I was shocked. First off, Ndamakung Suh blew Gerald MCoy away notching 32 reps to McCoys' 23, but the thing that really caught my attention was Jeff Owens posting 44. And then I watched the tape. Those were not bench presses. They were little pushes. He didn't even fully extend his arms on about 3/4 of those reps. That 44 is a joke and it's a joke that he was allowed to get away with it. More reason to be wary of the combine....
-- And in case you're not convinced yet, just check out the receivers. The hype machine has been going into overload for Golden Tate, but honestly.... he sucked. His 40 yard time was nothing in comparison to Jacoby Ford (4.28), but what made me laugh even more was everyone talking about how well Tate did in the receiving drills, even though he looked awful. When it came to running the line (that stupid drill where receivers are basically encouraged to catch the ball and then drop it straight away), Tate practically jogged across to give himself more time and still managed to drop almost half the balls while looking unbalanced and generally overwhelmed. Compare that again to Jacoby Ford who looked calm, caught all the passes and seemed to thrive under the pressure.
Far from impressing Tate would have moved down my board and Ford would have moved up it.
Drawing the bow again
-- It's being reported that the Chargers are talking to the Lions about a possible trade involving Antonio Cromartie. I like the sound of this. To me this sounds like the Lions recognising that their secondary needs serious help and that Cromartie might be a piece in solving that puzzle, while the Chargers could be looking at snatching up that second pick in the draft. That's great business and exactly what I was talking about the other day. The Chargers need help with their pass rush to make them a truly consistent team going forward and to give them the chance to get to the Superbowl. Suh or McCoy at number 2 would do them nicely. Liking this move on all fronts.
-- It's Tim Tebow again!! Basically I'm gonna give huge credit to the NFL networks Fran Charles and Mike Mayock for sticking up for Tebow. Everything we hear about this kid is great. We all know what he did in college and by all accounts he's lit up the combine as well, both statistically and with his off field actions. There were reports that he was standing aside the other guys as they prepared for their 40 yard dash and he basically became a cheerleader, trying to motivate the other guys in his group even though they're competing against him. His interview perfromance was described as "exceptional".
Just everything about the kid rings of a first round pick.
But most people still have him as going in the second or third round. Why? Because of this horse$h%t about his motion? Look at Favre, the guy throws like he's having a fit at the same time. At the end of the day, all that matters is the end product. Does he get the ball where it needs to go on time? Yes, would be the resounding answer to that.
If you want to quicken his release then draft the guy and work on it. This is just typical idiotic NFL scouting. Right there under their noses is a ready made product for the league, a guy whose leadership is going to inspire some team to the Superbowl one day. And we're calling him a second or third round pick? Give me a break.
It just makes me mad. I wish I was an NFL head coach right now, 'cos I'd snap Tebow up and start building an offense that would produce a Superbowl in three years, maybe less.
Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!
