September 26, 200620 yr For those of you who think that Tebow is ready to take over the whole load right now, you are nuts. He is barely removed from PROM. The speed of the SEC defenses is only going to get tougher along with the pressure of succeeding. He is better suited to go in, change the pace, do well, and still be able to lean on Urban and Chris to learn. He is in the IDEAL position, and will likely be a first team all-american, or even a heisman trophy winner when it is all said and done. Tebow looks to be an average passer at best. With all the hype he is getting now, maybe because of the fact he will have great talent around him qualifies him as a future Heisman candidate. I just don't see him holding up in the SEC running as much as he is currently. His passing must improve.
September 27, 200620 yr Once teams have a week to prepare for Tebow it will be a whole different story.
September 27, 200620 yr Author Tebow is the future for Florida. Future being the key word. If they think they have a chance to win big this year, then Chris Leak is their QB. If they want to start building for a big payoff with Tebow, then maybe they should put him in now. I think Meyer is doing the best thing at this point. It's very similar to what Bobby Petrino did with Brian Brohm as a freshman. You know you have your stud QB for the future, so you get him some meaningful snaps in real games (not just garbage time). But, you also have a senior QB who, while he might not be as talented as the younger guy, is better at this point because of his experience. It's ridiculous for Florida fans to want Tebow to replace Leak right now. I don't think they're good enough to win a title in either case, but I know they aren't if Tebow is the #1 QB. They should take a hint from Louisville fans. They obviously were excited about Brohm and his future, but they also realized that they had a great QB in LeFors. You should enjoy what you have, and be glad you have a guy like that to allow the younger QB to watch and learn and get some valuable snaps for the future. Very good points!
September 27, 200620 yr Author Tim Tebow is almost exclusively a runner at this point in his career. His mechanics throwing the football are atrocious. Urban Meyer and Florida's quarterback coach have a lot of work to do to attempt to make him an outstanding passer. How many quarterback's come to mind who have made it through four years as running quarterbacks in the SEC? I can not think of one off the top of my head. Too much pounding. He is an outstanding athlete. Very strong, but durability running it in the SEC? Err that Vince Young (Big 12) guy had an atrocious delivery and made a living running the ball. He didn't do to bad! Tebow and Mustane are both going to be loads of fun to watch these next few years. They also play in two offensive systems that are flat out fun to watch too!
November 20, 201114 yr :lol::lol::lol::lol: It's amazing a guy that we know and have known for over 5 years now cannot throw the football still somehow manages to find a way to win. Even as a pro. :ohbrother: I think he was put here to make me mad. Kid is a winner. No doubt. Maybe he is touched by an angel.
