January 9, 200917 yr My guess would be John Brantley. A much better passer than Tim Tebow. Has good running ability, but is not a Tim Tebow. It really doesn't matter a lot who it is because of all the young weapons he has around him. Florida will be at or near the top for quite a while with the talent they have stockpiled. Uh, not really. Tebow has a better arm and for the most part is more accurate than Brantley. It's not my opinion its FACT. Brantley is young, and is a pocket passer, but Tebow is a pretty nice passer. I think he struggles to read coverage a bit and has a slow delivery, but I've watched every game the Gators have played this season, and I've watched both players play. Brantley would start, but he isn't the answer for them. Because of their defense they would still have a good season, but no Tebow (which would probably mean no Harvin) means no title for UF next year. If Tebow couldn't win a title last year, no way could John Brantley ever win one, IMO. I know you guys will say UF was too young last year, but he is that much better than Brantley. I also think that Brantley's inability to run would hinder Demps and Rainey or who ever they try to run with. That really let them excel in that Read option style offense, because defenses had to stop Tebow 1st. That said, the only way Tebow leaves is if he's a 1st rounder, he's most likely not going to be projected that high, so he'll be back. UF's got to be the heavy favorite for the title next season. I really don't see a clear number two, so i'll take USC even though they lose 9 defensive starters.
January 10, 200917 yr Stay and go for the #1 draft pick in '10! Besides it would be a real pleasure to watch the top QB in the country to play at Commonwealth Stadium next year...
January 11, 200917 yr I personally think he'll stay. His draft status barring injury can only increase, but playing another year at Florida won't help him become a better NFL QB.
January 11, 200917 yr In my opinion the 2010 Heisman trophy and the 2010 National Championship is Tebow's to lose. The only way Tebow will not win the Heisman is if he gets hurt in the early season and can't finish the rest of it. I mean he pretty much proved that he should've won it this year. He put the Gators on his shoulders and carried them to the National Championship this year. Something that "Mr Heisman" Sam Bradford obviously couldn't do, but instead he cried like a little baby in front of the whole world...
January 11, 200917 yr Go, please. I am tired of you, beyond tired. Please go to the NFL and get rocked every Sunday, for me please..
January 12, 200917 yr It's probably elsewhere on the boards, but i felt it should be here......since it answers the threads title question: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3825566 Later.

I really don't see a clear number two, so i'll take USC even though they lose 9 defensive starters. Obviously we are voicing each of our opinions. I have only seen John Brantley in his spot playing with Florida a couple of games this season. I have seen a lot of tape on him from high school and have friends who follow Gator football very closely. I do not agree with your comparison with of John Brantley and Tim Tebow. Obviously, Tim Tebow is one of the most unique quarterbacks ever to play at the college level. Tremendous will-to-win and leadership. John Brantley is a better pure passer and is an adequate runner. I am told he is faster than Tim Tebow by my Florida people, but obviously does not have the effectiveness as a runner as Tebow. Since Tim Tebow is coming back next season, barring injury, we are not going to resolve our difference of opinion until the following season.
