    5. That reminds me … Browns GM Mike Holmgren was probably the highest on Tebow after the Florida star's workout, saying he didn't even think Tebow needed to change much. "I don't think everybody in the room thinks he needs to change dramatically, so we'll see where it goes." Mr. Tebow, please note that Holmgren is the guy who thought it was a good idea to pay Jake Delhomme $7 million to play quarterback this season. So if you want to have success in the NFL, change. And change dramatically.

    Hello Mr.QB of the future

  • How will he be developing Tebow as a president? He built Favre & Young as a coach.

  • I don't want the Browns or Bills to take him. I cannot stand his throwing motion.

    No offense but if you think Holmgren is just going to sit in his office all day then I'd say you're crazy.

    I don't think he's going to be doing that. I agree with you in that he would have wanted to coach instead of FO if he wanted to be on the field every day.

    All I'm saying is that he is still going to have a big say in things on the field and I wouldn't be surprised if he does offer a lot of insight into whichever QB we take.

    quick name all the teams offering him a HC job

    yeah thats what i thought

    only 2 teams contacted him and neither were for HC job

    because he didn't want to be a coach lol? he already stated that plenty of times before he decided he wanted to come back

  • Bottom line....Holmgrens name is riding on this teams success. So, bet your a$$ he will be involved as much as time permits him to.

    go ahead ill wait while you continue to lie

    he was only contacted from 2 teams period end of story

  • I think one thing that stands out is that he is left-handed, which means his blind side is on the right side not the left where Joe Thomas is one of the best LT's in the league. Thomas would probably be able to make an easy transition to the right side, but I just don't like the thought of it.

    could always draft Mike johnson in say round 4 who can play both RG or RT

    Thats why were trading up to grab Okung... LOL. IDK... The problem with Shaffer was we moved him from RT to LT becuase he was protecting Vicks blindside, it doesnt always work, thats why I am weary about a lefty for a QB with Joe Thomas...

    watch his first presser with the browns, he made it very clear that at this point in his career he didn't wanna coach.

    he says he didnt wanna coach because nobody offered him a chance to coach

    Find the link your damn self and shut the xxxx up already.

    You're just arguing for the sake of argument. Which, I've gathered so far, seems to be your only purpose on this forum.

    Because, and if you go back to his initial press conference (and Magini's) you'll note that Holmgren said he's be involved with the offense and the QB if asked by the coach and that he hoped they would ask. Mangini has already asked.

    The press conference is easily accessible on the Cleveland Browns website. Just go watch and stop spewing nonsense.

  • OK, back to the thread at hand.

    I would have absolutely no problem with Tebow in the third round. We do have three picks in there now, so we have room to take someone like Tebow who will be a project.

    There's one thing you can guarantee about Tebow: the kid will work his ass off to become a good NFL player and he's very coachable. But, this team also has a lot of holes so I won't be disappointed if we don't take him in the third round. Hell, he may not be available.

    The thing with Tebow is his throwing motion. Everybody talks about it. Fine, but Bernie's release point wasn't the best either. All I'm saying is the kid's got an NFL arm and an unparalleled work ethic. The first part makes Holmgren sit up and take notice while the second makes him a Mangini guy.
