There's a lot more work to do with a guy like Tebow than there was with those two (in terms of arm issues at least). Fact is that most of the guys in the league don't want Tebow, not to say they aren't wrong, so the chips are definitely stacked against him.

Rodgers played at an elite level in a system where many before him looked elite as well. Tedford is an amazing offensive mind that makes his QBs look amazing. Akili Smith and Ryan leaf just to name a couple had looked even more impressive than Rodgers coming out of college. I honestly didn't think Rodgers was going to do anything either based on Tedford's other qbs. He obviously proved me wrong (heck it might have something to do with the fact he sat on the sidelines a couple years behind one of the greats).
