Just a hunch, but I think we'll see Tebow under center a LOT more next year. It's almost ironic, but remember when Danny was getting hammered in the '96 f$u (regular season) game because SOS didn't like the shotgun? Then, just a few weeks later, they installed the shotgun for the MNC game and Danny had plenty of time to find receivers. Why does the NFL not use the shotgun?

Can he be a full-time quarterback? (Not likely, unless he is re-made as a pocket passer). How many times can he carry the ball, making himself a threat without getting, as Belichick says, "broken in half?'' (Maybe 10 times a week? Maybe only five?). Can an NFL offense function effectively with two quarterbacks. Say, Tyler Thigpen for 40 snaps and Tim Tebow for 20? What would this do to your salary structure? Is a Super Bowl worth paying two quarterbacks NFL-starter money? No answers here. Not yet. But know this: The questions are being asked by the people who write the checks. The Tebow Experiment is forestalled for a year, but it will absolutely take place.
