Need proof Tebow can play QB in the NFL? Look at Drew Brees

Nice. I did not think the shotgun-to-center would be as big an issue as it has become. What I want is for more of these guys to point out what I have been pointing out--that some NFL QBs have flourished with a similar delivery as Tebow--Ben Roethlisberger, Byron Leftwich, Aaron Rodgers, to name a few.
Go back a few years and NFL was knocking college QBs with a sidearm delivery that was prevalent in those days. Warren Moon, Jim Everett, and even Rich Gannon all were successful with that sidearm delivery, AND they worked in 2-read offenses like Urban Meyer's (Moon was run-and-shoot, the others were pre-spread, quick read).
These football "experts" are forsaking history for the the sake of making headlines picking apart a guy who has done nothing but do his best on game day. Tebow will fix something in his game, not because the critics say so, but because he has sought good coaches to help him get to the next level. In the end, this is what we want from our players--the ability to seek improvement and pay better. This is what Tim Tebow does, and he will continue to do so. Even if he does not fully "fix" that delivery, he will work around it as Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Leftwich, and others have.
