Tim Tebow has all the physical tools needed to succeed at the college and professional levels. He’s big and strong, and has a rocket arm. But Tim knows that it’s not a players physical tools that makes him a better quarterback.

“I mean, that’s what separates Tom Brady and Peyton Manning from every other quarterback, is their decision-making,” Tebow said. “They’re not more blessed as far as athletic ability; they just make better decisions on the field. They’re more knowledgeable about the game. That’s been my No. 1 focus this offseason, become more knowledgeable about the game so I can make better decisions on the field. That’s what separates you from average to good and good to great.”

I’m anxious to see if Tebow’s offseason work pays off. I’ll admit that he made a few mistakes late in some of the games last year, especially during hurry-up offenses and 2-minute drills. It’s a lot of pressure and sometimes Tim would just try to take off and run instead of checking down his receivers and dumping the ball.

“At the University of Florida, every year there’s gonna be pressure,” Tebow said. “No matter what happened the previous year, what trophies you won, it’s the University of Florida. The quarterback’s always gonna have pressure.”

I think Tim Tebow shows great maturity from his sophomore year to now his junior year. We’ll all be very surprised to see how he handles the pressure and his much improved decision making.
