Canton, Ohio- NFL Hall of Fame coach Guy Chamberlain said today that Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow “might be the perfect pro quarterback.”

Chamberlain was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1965, two years before his death at the age of 73. He was a successful college and professional player before moving to become a player-coach for four NFL championship teams, including back-to-back titles for the Canton Bulldogs in 1922 and 1923.
Chamberlain praised Tebow’s ability to run with the football and to take a big hit. "He's got a nose for the end zone, too," said Chamberlain. Chamberlain was also impressed with Tebow’s overall athletic ability, saying “If I’d a had a backfield of Tim Tebow and Jim Thorpe, I’d never have lost a game. Akron and Dayton wouldn'ta stood a chance.” When asked his opinion of Tebow’s ability to pass the football, Chamberlain responded, “We don’t run too many trick plays in Canton.”
Chamberlain expressed some concerns about Tebow’s character, saying “Any young man who poses for a photograph in nothin' but his undergarments just ain't been raised right,” but is otherwise impressed with the Broncos’ star. Chamberlain then changed subjects, moving on to spend several minutes praising the Cadillac Type 55 as “the finest automobile that money can buy."

As I understand it, Fisher DeBerry is interested in signing Tebow up to play for the 1986 Air Force Falcons.
I think Tebow's language is a little too blue to fit well with DeBerry.
