Be a NFL Scout: Rate Tebow

[cuzz4169]

Ok here is your chance to be a pro scout...Give me your rating of Tim Tebow. Here's how it works 2 is the low end 8 is the high end. Example If you think tebows Accuracy is a 3 rate it as a 3 but then the second rating is a projection where you as a scout thinks he can get to, this is still 2-8 rating scale....so for Accuracy your response would be 3/5 or 4/7 or 2/8 etc...whatever your opinion is. Remember even pro scouts have different evaluations of players. Have fun.

I see a lot of 5's...You don't think he's an 8 in leadership? the scale is 2-8

"* Avoiding the rush: making defenders miss in the pocket. 5/5

If Tebow is a 5, what is Michael Vick and Vince Young? At best Tebow is a Donovan McNabb on a scale of Orton to Vick.......

are we basing this off of his 2 starts, or his college work also?? because that will seriously scew my numbers.

Base it off of his NFL play...up to you really.

There are a lot of 5's because they chose to use a x/5 scale. Why 2-8 anyway? Seems like an..... odd choice of numbers to me.

A little of Column A and a little of Column B

[cuzz4169]

There are a lot of 5's because they chose to use a x/5 scale. Why 2-8 anyway? Seems like an..... odd choice of numbers to me.

The scouts I know use 2-8 or 20-80........5 is the average anything below 4 is minus.....4.5 is fringe avg...5.5 is above avg....6.0 is plus...anything 7 or over is plus plus...remember I coach college baseball but I don't think it could be much different for football same concept.

Tried to explain it better for ya.

And for those who are confused by the format, the first number is supposed to be where he's at currently, and the second number is what you think he can develop into.
