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.

I agree with this.
As a Bronco fan, I wasn't a big fan of the pick. Mostly because there were more pressing needs that could've been addressed with the picks used to get Tebow.
Having said that, I have embraced him. It is my belief that if anyone is capable of overcoming the obstacles that he is facing, it is him. The intangibles that have been shoved down our throats for the last 4 years about this kid are not overstated. He has the desire and work ethic to make a good run at it.
I would have preferred he did that in Jacksonville, but I'll be rooting for him now.
