Why do I want the Patriots to pick Tim Tebow?

More proof that you have to trust Belichick's "personnel" decisions
The fascination with Tim Tebow is simply amazing to follow, and it certainly won’t end when he is drafted sometime in next weeks NFL Draft. I have gone back and forth on what kind of player Tebow will be in the pros, and would I want to see him on the Patriots. I have no answer for #1, and yet I, for some reason, want the Pats to pick him up.
My reason for wanting Tebow comes down to one word: Belichick. Now I don’t buy all of the hype and praise Belichick has been throwing his way, Belichick never says anything without a meaning behind it. There are a ton of different conspiracy theories behind his praise of Tebow, none of which are probably true. I have no idea if Belichick would even think of drafting Tebow, but if he does, I will embrace the pick fully.
In Bill I trust. I know the Patriots have made their share of mistakes through the years in personnel, as all teams do. Adalius Thomas, Chad Jackson, Bethel Johnson, just to name a few. Ok, he’s not perfect. Where Belichick has done great as a talent evaluator, and a coach, is with the draft reaches and projects he’s taken. Who can forget Mel Kiper Jr. scoffing when the Pats selected Logan Mankins in the 1st round, when everyone had him graded out as a 3rd rounder? Redraft today, and Mankins is a top 10 pick. How about last years draft, when the Pats selected Sebastian Vollmer in the 2nd round? While the Mankins pick probably quelled some of the criticism of the Vollmer pick, who the hell was Sebastian Vollmer? He wasn’t even good enough to get invited to the NFL Combine, yet Belichick “reached” for this project, who once selected, everyone figured would take 2-3 years to possibly develop. Of course Vollmer got a ton of time as a rookie, and is unquestionably the future left tackle of the Pats. How about, in the same draft, taking QB Julian Edelman in the 7th round? Edelman was considered likely to be a rookie free agent, and the Pats scooped him up. Lacking QB size and arm strength, the Patriots surely had their Wildcat QB to catch up with the rest of the league, right? Wrong, they ran one trick play all year that involved Edelman. Instead they immersed him as a WR, and he quickly (and amazingly) developed from small school QB to legit NFL receiver as a rookie. Another success of Belichick is Stephen Neal. Neal didn’t play college football. Neal was instead a championship wrestler. He won the Dan Hodge award (wrestling’s Heisman) and beat future WWE and UFC star Brock Lesnar for the NCAA title. Belichick figured he could turn him into a football player, and 78 games (and 73 starts) later, I’d say Belichick hit again.
What position will Tebow play? I don’t know, and I don’t really care. If Belichick thinks he can be a good football player, he’ll find a spot for him. Unless someone jumps on the Tebow bandwagon and takes him in the top 20, the Pats are in a prime spot to land Tebow. With 4 picks in the top 53, not only are they in position to get him, but they are in position to move up (or back) to get him if necessary. I doubt the Pats are even considering Tebow, and I certainly won’t be upset if they pass on him, even if he’s there at #53. For whatever reason however, I really want to see Tebow come to the Pats, not necessarily to see what Tebow can do in the NFL, but more to see what Belichick can do to turn Tebow into an NFL player. Come Thursday or Friday, Tebow won’t be a Patriot, and I’ll only have to wonder what could have been. But if the Pats take that plunge, expect the unexpected when it comes to Tim Tebow as an NFL player.
Their 4th quarter game plan was made no sense.
