GAINESVILLE — "After three years, two national titles and a Heisman Trophy, Tim Tebow still gets questions about his throwing motion.
Spectators of Florida's spring practices seem to freeze when Tebow reaches back during spring practice, squinting to detect the slightest difference in an arm that's been evaluated in biomechanics labs and lambasted by pro scouts.
Tebow's moxie as a quarterback has been certified since he stepped on campus in 2005, but his mechanics are once again being tweaked for long-term effectiveness — and possibly a long-term NFL investment.
Tebow has downplayed any changes to his throwing motion, saying new quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler — who has worked with Tom Brady, Brian Griese and Chad Henne at Michigan — has him focusing on footwork.
But Loeffler said he's working to get the Gators senior at a "10 o'clock" motion, less sidearm.
Teammates have noticed improvement already."
