This doesn't have the stature (nor the statue) that the Heisman does yet it represents a knowledgable evaluation of a QB by QB's. Archie's viewpoint of TT's NFL potential is one I share, and now he has a QB coach that can help TT develop a skill set that will appeal to the NFL. The only prob. is we have to wait to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Archie Manning, who has tutored a couple of outstanding quarterbacks himself, is convinced that Tebow is among the best in history at the position.
“Well, I made the remark this year,” Manning said. “I was fortunate enough to be at the SEC Championship Game working for CBS, and I said that I think he’s one of the best football players I’ve ever seen. Tim has developed every year. I’ve seen him play a lot in the game, especially here, and he’s developed so much as a player, as a quarterback, and, of course, as a passer. And I’m sure that he’ll admit there have been greater passers, there have been greater runners, but when you come to just overall football player and the ability to lead his team and will his team to win, I don’t think that I’ve seen anybody do it any better.”

“I feel that we have a great quarterback coach in here who really knows a lot about the next level and a lot about quarterback play, so I’m going to spend practically every second with him working on a lot of different things and trying to prepare myself for the next level,” Tebow said. “But, even more importantly, I want to prepare my team for an opportunity to be successful next year and to accomplish our goals, which are to win another SEC Championship and have a shot at a national championship.”
