Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Say what you will of Chad Henne but he is a starting quarterback in the NFL, so he knows a thing or two about what it takes to get to the top level. So when asked his opinion about Tim Tebow's chances to make it as an NFL QB, Henne comes from a place of experience. Of course, that doesn't mean he should be sharing his opinion on the matter with others, especially if a microphone is in his face.
"My judgment is that he's not an NFL quarterback...I leave it at that."
ProFootballTalk says what makes this extra squirm-inducing is that one of Tebow's mentors on becoming NFL material is also Henne's QB coach for the Dolphins. Aaaaawkward.

Tim Tebow
Time will tell if he will be an NFL quarterback. I like to root for the underdog though, and i hope he lands in a place where he will have time to develope. Seattle with Hassleback in front of him would be good.

Painstakingly Obvious!
Henne is absolutely correct! If Tebow were Afr.Amer. he would never get this chance, & his position would’ve been changed by now.(See Joe Webb!) 6 weeks of not changing his mechanics,(As they are all saying), “just shortening his release”, after 4 YEARS of college to work on it isn’t going to do squat! Everyone knows he is just getting this shot because most NFL owners are the exclusive club rich ______ guys who will be willing to give this kid the money. Let’s wait & see if Terrell Pryor from Ohio St.,(although a far superior athlete than Tebow), will get this chance 2 years from now.
Everyone acts like Tebow won all those games at Florida by himself, & completely disregard the FACT that 29 of his former teammates are either starters, or playing significant minutes in the NFL, with up to possibly 8 more going in this years draft, with maybe 3 of those,(Haden,Dunlap,Pouncy), being 1st rounders.
All Tebow has to do to ensure he will go no lower than the 2nd rd. is to just keep sayibg,“God Bless!”, everytime an interveiw is ended with him on camera.
