I was glad to hear Tony Dungy echo some of my thoughts on the future NFL prospects of Florida QB Tim Tebow. Every time I have seen him play this year, I watch and wonder where the knocks are coming from. So many times I have thrown my hands up and said "all this kid does is win football games". Glad to see somebody, whose opinion I respect, make a similar analysis.

Dungy also had interesting comments on Tim Tebow. Dungy loves winners. He thinks Charlie Ward would have been a great NFL quarterback because he won at every level. Dungy said that Tebow is like that. He just wins, and that will translate to the NFL.
Dungy said if he ran St. Louis, he'd draft Tebow high in the first round. "Franchise quarterbacks are hard to fine, and I believe in this guy," Dungy said.
Dan asked Dungy if Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Jake Locker and Jimmy Clausen were available, would he take Tebow over all of them. Dungy said yes, he'd take Tebow.
In the past, Dungy compared Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen to Drew Brees. High praise indeed. Personally, I like Jake Locker the best overall as far as NFL prospects.
I would go with Locker, Clausen, Tebow, McCoy and Bradford in that order as things stand today. Bradford could really slip due to the injury. Tebow could slip due to the long throwing motion. He has to get that corrected. He could be a fit in Jacksonville though where attendance is an issue. A drawing card helps, but then again so does winning.
