Tebow
- Thread starter isuforlife
- Start date
He is, But I definetely dont think he is any kind of nfl quarterback material. Wants to run to much. Way to used to the shotgun and look what happend to alex smith. Urban meyer's system is great for college but his qb's dont fare to well in the pro's.
Did anyone else notice Huston Nutt when they announced Tebow had won? I was looking for a video of it online, but couldn't find one. They announce Tebow has won, he hugs Daniel/Brennan/McFadden, then he goes back to hug his parents. #1 you can tell that McFadden is not happy to be second again and #2 if you look in the background, you can clearly see Huston Nutt standing and not clapping with a glare on his face. If I recall correctly, he adjusts his belt or something and that's it.
Now, I know he made this huge case for McFadden to win and McFadden has had a great year. However, you can't deny 51 touchdowns! That's like NCAA 07 stats! Anyway, I kind of thought that Nutt was acting like sour grapes. Just my opinion :smile:

Did anyone see the special segment ESPN did on Tebow and the efforts to change his throwing motion in the offseason? It looked like Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. The Biomechanics researchers for the University decided his throwing motion wasn't optimizing his arm strength and was going to cause break down in the future. So they strap him up to different systems and change everything in the offseason. It was pretty amazing... Also nice to see the Universitys professors working with the Athletic Department instead of against...

I don't think he wants to run. Urban Meyer has said in the past that the only reason he's running so much is that they don't' have a great backfield. I see Tebow as more of a Steve Young type scrambler. He'll run if he has to, but he's more of a passer if he has time and protection. I think he's definitely got a future in the NFL as a QB.
It's hard to pass judgment on Alex Smith at this point. He has been hurt, and he was starting on a dreadful SF team. You also have to remember that Alex Smith was playing against mostly MWC teams, and Tebow is seeing a much higher level D in the SEC. Urban Meyer has only graduated one NFL QB, and he's only been a head coach since 2001, so it's pretty hard to say whether his QBs have problems in the NFL as well. You could say that Lloyd Carr's QBs have problems in the NFL too, if you were to look only at Drew Henson and Brian Griese.
I'm not a huge fan of Tbeow, in fact I'm pretty much indifferent, but I think he certainly has a decent shot at the NFL. Hell the kid is only a sophomore.
I am just saying he has great moral and family values, don't really care about his NFL career
Saying a QB is not really NFL material is kinda like saying the sun is going to come out tomorrow, you aren't really going out on a limb when you say it. VERY few QBs, even big college stars are NFL material. That being said, I think this Tebow kid has a solid head on his shoulders and the athletic ability to make it at that level.
I was thinking this about heisman winners in general. Go through this list:
SI.com - Photo Gallery - Ranking the last 20 Heisman winners
and count how many of these guys went on to make a big splash in the NFL. Not too many :no:
16 seconds in McFadden says "jerkoff" right after Tebow hugs him.
Just Kidding..but it looks like it
I can try.
NCAA LEADERS, PASSING TD
45 - Harrell, Texas Tech
42 - Smith, Tulsa
38 - Brennan, Hawaii
36 - Woodson, Kentucky
34 - Bradford, Oklahoma
33 - Daniel, Missouri
32 - Reesing, Kansas
30 - Brohm, Louisville
29 - Ainge, Tennessee
29 - TEBOW, FLORIDA (TIED FOR 9TH)
29 - Clement, Rice
TEBOW'S RUSHING TD (22)
1-5 yards: 16
6-9 yards: 4
10+ yards: 2 (16; 23)
Pretty easy to pile up rushing TD when you have to go 5 yards or less. Normal teams would have a RB to do that. Florida doesn't, from what I can tell.
You do realize that some "normal teams" don't even have 22 rushing TDs as a team.
Iowa State had 16. Iowa had 11.
If it was that easy to rush for a TD from five yards out, then why do teams struggle in the red zone? Why doesn't every QB just plow into the end zone 22 times in a year? He is the first player EVER to pass and rush for 20 TDs... that is undeniable and very impressive.
Then again, maybe McFadden shoulda been a "Wild Hog" all year. He's got a decent arm, and he does run better than Tebow.

I already thought Tebow should be second to McFadden; now I'm thinking Tebow should be 4th.
Over 1/3 of the teams in D1 had 22+ rushing TD. It's amusing that you specify ISU and Iowa -- those were two terrible offensive teams.
Most teams have a RB to get those short-yardage TD. It is apparent that Florida doesn't have anyone worthy to carry the ball 5 yards. Tebow even had a 2 TD game in which he finished with -15 yards. That is laughable.
Hmm,
I'd bet you guys dissing his performance have never seen him or Florida play. They have two RB's that we would trade any of our backs for in Harvin and Moore. Florida had 2372 total rushing yards, so that puts Tebow at about 1/3 of Florida's rushing yards.
Its easy to take the same statistics and make them look good or bad. We can play that game with any of the candidates.
He is also one of the highest rated passers in the game (177.8) His passing alone (over 3000 yards, 29 TD, 6 INT) would get him on Heismann talk.
So he only has more rushing TD's than more than half of the D1 teams. Thats still pretty impressive for anyone, let alone a QB. 838 rushing yards, 22 TD's, no fumbles.
Thats 51 touchdowns, nearly 4000 yards offense, and 6 turnovers.
Nobody has ever been close to achieving what he has done this season. One of the few recent Heismann winners that truly deserved it.
Who else would you pick over him if you could have any player this year?

sounds like some are jealous
Speaking of sour grapes, someone mentioned Nutt, did u see his black 'hair' on his old pink raisin head? McFadden had 4 games in a row where he averaged only 70 yrds a game and was irrelevent.

You could re-phrase that and say that 2/3rds of the teams had less than 22 rushing TDs. In 1A, that's a LOT of teams.
It's only laughable because they count sacks as rushing yards. It's a lot easier to lose yards when you handle the ball on every play, and people aren't necessarily blocking on a play designed to get you rushing yards.
Running QBs rush stats are always kinda hard to judge because of that.
