Tim Tebow Throws The Football Like A Javelin 

This actually aged well

He throws it just like a baseball... long arm circle, good external rotation and he pronates hard at the end. This wouldn't cause him to be inaccurate (otherwise baseball pitchers wouldn't throw like that), it just takes too long to get rid of the ball, and QBs need to have really quick releases

Reading the comments in hindsight is hilarious. People got so offended at this guy for pointing out such a simple truth. That his throwing mechanics hinder his ability to be succeed in the nfl. And he was right to no person who actually knows what they're talking about's suprise, he started one more game in the NFL after this. And it's not because there was a conspiracy against him, it's because he wasn't good enough for long term success.

that's not how you throw a javelin lol.

The comments here are gold. The author made an accurate observation and correctly predicted that Tebow wasn't long for the rest of his NFL career (and indeed, he only had 3 more starts in his career), and yet everyone was accusing him of bias and whatnot. The author was right, all those others were wrong, apologies are owed :-D

The comments saying "He's an NFL quarterback, you're just some guy at home, so you can't criticize him," are unfathomably stupid. I'm willing to bet that most of the people here aren't professional chefs, yet you know when food tastes bad. Just because you aren't something doesn't mean you can't criticize it. Tebow is a very likable, decent person. He is also a very terrible NFL quarterback. A career completion percentage of 48% and a passer rating of 75.3 attests to that. He threw a pretty poor 20 yard pass, and the receiver made the play. "But he won a playoff game!" That doesn't make him talented. One good game is not evidence of anything. Matt Flynn threw for 6 TDs and over 480 yards in a game, which is better than Tebow ever did in any game, yet nobody claims he is a great quarterback, because one game isn't enough to determine if someone is good or not. Three seasons is, which is what Tebow has, and he has proven time and time again that he is not a good quarterback. Even if he has a great season next year, that still doesn't make him a good quarterback. Good players stay consistently good. If Tebow's next five years are all good, I'll take back everything I've said and claim he is a good quarterback. Until then, he just isn't any good and there is no way you can honestly say he is.

The throwing motion sucks, but the ball went exactly were it was supposed to go. What more can you ask for?

Here's part of it, as well: he hold the football way too low. Then he winds up when he throws

I love how while you are reviewing Tebow's throwing motion he is winning the game.

Great call. Who’s here after he decided to tryout for TE? Lol. Good thing TEs don’t throw the ball.

I think he got the habit from pitching. I'm a pitcher and a quarterback... After pitching baseball it's hard to get back in the QB position everyone expects you to have, and we all know Tim like baseball so he might've been working on pitching. But when you said it won't work long term, I totally get it I mean I like my arm high above me so it gives me more yards, but if he throws it like that it's gonna give him more speed and power. And that's what you need!

This is the guy who says “I could’ve easily gone pro if it wasn’t for my knee”

i totally agree. he's throwing motion is so damn bad

Oh, man... just awful. The worst. And just look at how the ball goes directly from Tebow to the receiver... for the game-winning touchdown, and in the PLAYOFFS of all situations? Man, just inexcusable.

i love going back tothis video 4/5 years later and laughing because this was like the ultimate "I fucking called it" in NFL history.

watched it 3 times in a row, this video is addictive.

The prediction from 11 years ago was very correct. Tebow never won another playoff game after this. Never became a reliable starting QB. Never made the big league in baseball either. All because his ego wouldn't let him play anything but QB1... with that throw. Ooof.

I don't care if Tebow released the ball from his ass. If he helps Philly win a super bowl, we'll love him forever.

This the funniest commentary in history

this guy was SPOT ON.

The commentary on this video was absolutely top class, you have a career in broadcasting my friend.

"he gets the job done" that's hilarious

As Stephen A . says, "A broken clock is right twice a day!" So long Tebow, the clock has struck midnight! Good Luck!

Good video explaining why Tim Tebow is no longer on an NFL roster. More shocking than the throwing motion is the fact that there are people now in 2014 saying "GAME WINNING THROW"...please see comment "if you think that'll work LONG TERM"

Classic good big strong athlete who never had to learn the proper mechanics of his craft, he could just muscle it.

"Wow! What is that?!?!" I couldn't stop laughing

What a legendary video

This take aged like fine wine

Criticize him all you want, this was one of the best plays in NFL history.

Three things: 1. "Game-winning touchdown." 2. "... he can hit the broad side of a barn." 3. He threw the ball *exactly* where it needed to go. Again, "Game winning touchdown." Your argument is invalid. :o)

Rip, Thomas

great commentary. can you do this for every game?

nobody never gave that man a true chance and that man is a great quarter back

How many INTs did he throw against the Bill's 26th ranked defense? How many INTs against Patriots 32nd rank defense? In the two games against NE and one against BUF he threw around 10 interceptions. Not to mention his career pass COMP percentage. How he wasn't stuck on the practice squad is beyond me.

You should have your own radio show

Some are busy examining the roots while others are picking the fruits...

And btw Brett Farve wasn't fundamentally sound, but you don't see people talking about how bad of a QB he was because he was one of the greats. Not everyone has to throw the same way.

Anyone here in 2021 looking at this absolute genius?

This video aged well

I have a friend who is a huge fan of Tim Tebow and has a news article with pictures of him hanging on his wall. I always tell him whenever I see this picture 'He looks like a linebacker playing quarterback'. Based on his pose and how big he looked, he looked just as big, if not bigger than a couple NFL linebackers.

And then he throws a PERFECT pass . I'm not really a Tebow fan, but I'm sick of people like you putting him down and saying he can't. He's got the heart of a lion, and when it comes down to it, he'll find a way to win. He has my respect.

He played in the NFL while you are at home analyzing the video! So kids, who should we listen to?

It literally looks like he forgot he’s right handed.

With all the flaws that you pointed out I was almost sure that he wouldn't complete the pass.

You tebow fans crack me up. " he gets it where it needs to go" lmao. That ain't the damn point. His elongated passing motion doesn't help his accuracy on quicker routes and with a huge wind up like that its makes him more prone to being stripped, balls being batted down by defensive lineman because of his slow motion etc.

i agree where is he now?? lol

they called him a madman

when i see you czabedotcom throw a game wining touchdown pass, then i may listen to your theories

I like how he's complaining about his throwing motion even though the throw was perfect and they won the game...

how he says it "look at this throwing motion ON THE GAME WINNING TOUCHDOWN PASS" nuff said

He's working out.

The key words game winning touchdown

Sum1 was salty that the Steelers lost LMAO

I love how he says "Tebow sucks" followed by "watch his arm motion on the GAME WINNING touchdown" lol

Aye hold on that’s a strong gain son. Tf you worried about

Hes also a spectacular blocker as well!!!

You didn't mention that this is the game winning TD in the playoffs vs the Steelers. He was clearly big mad making this.

funny. in the same breath you say "this is why tim tebow sucks, watch this game winning touchdown pass"

That is a way to throw a football good sir

stats speaks for itself? 47% completion %

And you are the one watching him on national T.V.

Tim Tebow was a first round quarterback and started in the NFL. I could probably count the amount of people who made it to that spot as a starter that "sucked" on one hand and Tebow was not one of them. He had an awkward throwing motion and it took too long, but he was a Heisman winner, two time national champion and won the AFC West the one year he had a team give him a shot. Tebow never played himself out of the position like many others have had the opportunity to. I bet that if he was a little bit more quiet about what he believes, you wouldn't have cared so much.

That was the game winning pass

That throwing motion looks a lot like a Tennis Service Motion.

That throwing motion was amazing in terms of speed/velocity and getting it through the gap. He is able to establish a kinetic chain with that base, and to release a lot more power from his legs by delaying his throw and staying closed longer. Learn a bit more about baseball then come talk to me. That was a great fastball.

For all of those that are here to defend Tebow, I have a question: What NFL teams are standing in line to have a shot of landing Tebow as thier starting quarterback? Jacksonville was the last team I knew of and they came out and said they have no intrest in him. The Jets barely used him at all and they had Mark Sanchez making mistakes all year long. In fact they passed over Tebow and went to thier 3rd string QB at one point. NFL quarterback? I don't think so

THATS WHY HE SITS ON THE BENCH AND MARK SANCHEZ STARTS

Well, did the receiver catch his throw? There you go!

Worst throwing motion ever hands down and God bless

He sucks? He won a heisman, must be terrible. He was named one of the best college quarterbacks ever. He made it as an NFL starter. He can't help how he throws the ball, its obviously good considering he's in the NFL as a quarterback.

sounds like rich from reviewtechusa

According to this guy I'm nuts.

I’m glad your a NFL QB coach. He’s putting torque into the throw

If its not broken, dont fix it.

"look at this throw ON THE GAME WINNING TOUCHDOWN"

He is improving

Haha, love this vid. the denial here is amazing. I'm a Patriots fan and got to laugh at a player on our own team after we humiliated him at Denver. four years in he still can't think or thow like a 3rd string QB.

tim tebow is a clutch so i don't know why you guys are hating?

I think the end result is important. I give Tim before of the doubt; that the throwing motion is trained to accommodate the timing of the receiver getting open down the middle. I think a couple qb’s starting today have unfundamental technique yet are shining stars. The throwing motion was wonky but produced results

47.9% completion percentage does speak for itself.

To all Tebow fanboys: what do you have to say now? Nobody would take him! Not even on the practice squad. Dude sucks

Yeah, Tebow's throwing motion is so bad that he threw a perfect spiral to his receiver for a game winning touchdown in the NFL playoffs.

I liked this video for the hilarious commentating.😂😂😂

tim tewbow was aweome

Doesn't matter still won. You just mad bro

Still won the game with the throw though

The 4 and 0 on opposite sides of the solid white line would suggest that he threw the ball near the 40 yard line, not the 20 yard line.

We all have different ways of throwing

Can't help but notice you follow up the statement "here's why Tebow sucks" with a "here's a look at the game winning touchdown". Keywords... GAME WINNING TOUCHDOWN. You'll never know if it would have worked. Y'all didn't give him a shot. But in the few games he played, he took a 1-4 broncos to the playoffs. Also, if I remember correctly, they said the same thing about Russell Wilson... They said "he's too short". He'll never make it. Russell proved y'all wrong just like Tebow did then and just like he's doing right now. Just face it, Tim Tebow is so hated because he's religious and isn't afraid to show. Its hard for most folks to live life as Tebow does and it makes them jealous. So... Y'all do as most ppl do and try to bring him down your level. It didn't work. Get over it. Most important question... What years did YOU play for the NFL?

Okay, I'm a Steelers fan, but really? I don't like putting Tebow down and saying he sucks because, well, he fucking beat us. If he sucked, we would've won, now wouldn't we? And the way he throws it is just like how any other left-handed QB throws. And ever quarterback puts their whole body into their throws. You said that he threw it from the twenty and made it to the fifteen. For one, that's backwards, for two, he threw that ball twenty yards. In my opinion, that's a pretty decent sized throw. Anyways, you do realize if we beat the Broncos we would've been obliterated by some revenge hungry Patriots, right?

You made you a Steelers fan

He won the game you Moooooooooooron!

butthurt Steelers fan he says "look at this throwing motion, of the GAME WINNING touchdown." all I got from this video is that he WON THE GAME.

FAST FOWARD 7 YEARS LATER...Tebow's baseball career is now over with the Mets. TEBOW DIDNT MAKE IT IN THE NFL...he was HORRIFIC....and look at all the idiots SQUAWKING about "He made the throw" an NFL completion percentage UNDER 50%

RIP DT

He almost fumbled without being hit

Commentaries like this video are obviously put out by wanna-be's who would've, could've & should've. To analyze 1 small item of a player & reduce it down to 'the guy is terrible' shows evidence the commentator hasn't a clue about the big picture - what makes a winner a winner, from where success lies.

Actually he was 8-4 as a starter. He had one of the best rookie season in NFL history. He won a playoff game as a rookie(took Stafford 13 years) The NFL corporate sports pundits hated him because he was a fundamentalists, Christian. This scared the hell out of the corrupt oligarchs. The NFL could not have a crazy Christian winning football games. The NFL is a fixed league, controlled by gambling, and the alcohol industry. Today Tebow would out perform every back up in the NFL. Stats are for losers.

Aaannnnd you never sniffed the field in junior high ball! I love "experts" like this who know so very much and have such great insight into the game yet they don't coach at ANY level ????? Keep thinking your so smart

It advanced them to the next round and made Tomlin and the steelers nation cry
