To really answer the question, we need to look at what the NFL looks for in a NFL quaterback. This year we have two shining stars at rookie quaterback, Matt Ryan (QB Atlanta Falcons) and Jow Flacco (QB Baltimore Ravens). Both of these quaterbacks exhibit early in their career characteristics that make them look like great NFL QBs for years to come. What do each of these players have as common characteristics: great arm strength, accuracy, size, intelligence, ran a similar system in college as the pros.

So using these items as our baseline lets look at Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford.

Tim Tebow has a huge athlete, physically he is similar in size to a Vince Young. He has a big arm and can throw the ball with great arm strength. He is a very smart QB in college, understanding when to scramble and make plays with his feet and when to throw deep. Accuracy is in question as Florida runs an option offense in college. To sum it up Tim Tebow looks like Vince Young in college, a big mobile quaterback who can make plays with both arm and feet. The trouble is the NFL is not kind ot big mobile QBs, the punishment running QBs take puts most of them out of the league very quickly. See Vince Young, and Michael Vick. If Tebow can make an adjustment like Donovan Mcnabb did going to the NFL he could have a great career, but he needs to stay one more year and develop his passing accuracy.

Looking next at Sam Bradford. Bradford ran the spread offense in college which requires the ball to be thrown an inordinate amount of time. Bradford is slightly undersized for the pro game, however he has good arm strength and great accuracy. Bradford is sneaky mobile and is very smart with the football. The problem is the spread offense never translates into the pro game. The pro game the QB is under center and the spread is in the shotgun all the time. This difference is usually too big to overcome for most college QBs. See Andre Ware and Geno Toretta as examples. Bradford will need to test out very well in the combine to have a solid chance in the NFL.

Either way both are great college QBs and very entertaining to watch. My estimate is neither will be good pros. It is a rare individual that makes a great NFL QB, that is why so little exist in the league today.

If a team like the Minnesota Vikings or the Baltimore Ravens could win the superbowl look for rookie cards from Tavaris Jackson, Adrian Peterson and Joe Flacco to rise in value. Last year Eli Manning's card went up over 40% in the following month after the superbowl.
