They are fielding questions about the offense because it isn't particularly good.

Two facts:
1) Pundits and fans alike have been giving serious consideration to whether Tebow is the greatest college quarterback ever.
2) Tebow is not particulary good at passing the football.

Something to ponder.

Your crazy

Tebow is not particulary good at passing the football.

you just figured this out? The last 3 years everyone has bad mouthed Tebows passing mechanics and how he wont make it in the NFL. Welcome to 2009. I have always thought Percy Harvin had more talent then Tebow. I do think Tebow was a better player though, if that makes sense.

Pundits and fans alike have been giving serious consideration to whether Tebow is the greatest college quarterback ever.

No way is he best college “QB” ever, is he one of the best college players ever? I am not going to answer that. I am just saying that is what people are suggesting.

Yea some Gator fans are asking a lot of questions, I for one am not. Tim Tebow is 10-0, he lost his 2 best recievers to the NFL, now his best reciever is a 250 lb TE, and our OC is terrible. Thats not too hard to figure out why our Offense isnt as dominating as last years.

Why would you title your post "Your crazy"

And then agree with everything I am saying?

FWIW

I think the greatest college QB of all time is Michael Vick, and he was not a great passer either.

HA

thats why your crazy…

I dont remember why I said that, I think I got off track of my original thought.

any ways, no way Vick is the best college QB, no way at ALL. Maybe in your standards, but I dont think a lot people will agree.

Regaring kid's 1st point (your second example):

Prior to the season, when we all thought that Snead was going to have a very good year and he had 1st-round NFL draft written all over Mel Kiper’s board, the media went on an absolute witch hunt because somebody dared place Snead above Tebow as top preseason QB in the conference.

And like you point out, Tebow hasn’t changed any between last year and this year. But somehow it was an absolute travesty that somebody would dare suggest that the (then) best pro-style quarterback in the conference would be a better quarterback than Tebow.

Yes, a lot of his hype was couched in terms of best college ‘player’ ever, but there are plenty of people out there who were (and still are) suggesting best college ‘quarterback’ ever. But that is an exercise left to the reader.

(BTW, his best receiver is himself?? ;-)

Seriously, watched UF-USC with a bunch of Florida fans.

One of my friends and I spent half the game talking about how Tebow was making great plays for a TE. I had to hightal it out of the place after the game was over, heh.

(I’m totally going back there for the SEC Championship.)

doesnt matter, TE, FB, whatever.

Since he has been on our team we have won 2 BCS titles. How many have you won with your QB. I’ll take the TE anyday.

If I am a NFL owner…thats a whole new ball game

I think your joking

but incase your not, his best reciever is TE Hernandez. but thats funny, Tebow weighs 235 FYI….

I dont disagree with you, hes not even better then Rex Grossman, (as a QB). But as a player, hes 10x times better then Grossman. The problem is, Grossman could play QB on any team in college and excel, Tebow can not. A team has to play around his strengths. Wich was destiny for him to be in Urban Meyers offense.

The Big10 sucks!

they’re all overrated. I’ve seen some bowl projections that have Iowa getting an at large bit. Are you kidding me??? LSU would deserve it more than Iowa.
