I see him as similar to Roethlisberger in some ways. He'll extend plays by being difficult to bring down. And he'll be better than Ben at picking up yardage when he does scramble. I'm also convinced he's comparable as a pocket passer. He was let down by his receivers on a few key plays against Alabama (but simply made a poor throw on the late pick). And it's really tough to say that game was about anything other than the Florida defense being completely outclassed.
I think he can be very successful with the right sort of team. He won't work out in a precision timing offense, but surround him with athletes who understand that the defense will break down as Tebow extends plays and he'll be successful. Also, the prevalence of the shotgun in today's pro game is such that his background might be more of an advantage than a disadvantage.
I honestly don't think he's a gimmick/hybrid guy. He can be the starting quarterback for a good NFL team.
