I just don't see any way outside of a small Wildcat-type package that Tebow will be mentally ready to play in his first season. He is certainly smart and determined enough to eventually make the transition, but the team that drafts him must have a quarterback coach who is a great teacher and also very patient, and the organization that invests what still might be a very high draft pick will have to be willing to wait for Tebow to develop into a pro-style quarterback.

That is a risky proposition given the current expectations placed on rookie quarterbacks, especially given the concerns about Tebow's footwork and slow, elongated delivery. The footwork can be fixed but the struggles of recent draft picks who were forced to alter their throwing motions are just one more reason to wonder whether Tebow can make the complete transition to the NFL.
