If you only watch football casually, I can easily see how Tebow would have looked like one of the worst you had ever seen.
I mean, he looked fucking terrible. That he had any success was a testament to his God given athletic talents--like, I remember some great successes on his part, but I don't remember ever thinking he looked smooth or comfortable. I mean, the running joke in the game threads was comparing Manning's laser rocket arm to Tebow's trebuchet.
NFL QB is a weird position where it's actually more important to be able to take one step forward to narrowly miss a dude you are otherwise ignoring than it is to be able to bounce off of contact and scamper. It's a weird monkey wrench in how we've traditionally thought about athletics, but it's part of what makes football so fascinating.
