TIM TEBOW SAYS "TA-DAAAAAAHHH"

Tim Tebow & Florida…. Easier to beat than Appalachian State.

Tebow sucks.

See? Cock D’s got some creativity there. That’s the kind of effort we wanna see around here.

This article makes my head hurt…he’s a junior, right? What’s the argument…that he hasn’t led the Gators to the AFC championship?

I’ve never bought the argument that going 9-4 should disqualify someone from winning the Heisman. It’s supposed to be “most outstanding player”, not “random starting QB or RB who doesn’t suck on one of the two best teams in the nation”. As you said, it’s not his fault the defense needed asbestos jerseys.

This story is the media equivalent of the “make up call” among referees. Last week someone else came out with a list of the top “clutch” players, and Tebow headed the list. But Tebow, while the best player in the country hands down (I see no room to dispute that, disappointing Georgia fan that I am), hasn’t really done anything that’s “clutch.” That’s not a knock, more a statement of fact regarding opportunities that have presented so far; and I certainly wouldn’t call him UN-clutch. The first piece was typical lazy article generation, and now someone else is generating an article to present the “other side.” Ho hum.

I know of a QB that led a 4th quarter comeback in his first year starting. . . Matt Stafford. As a true freshman. Without Knowshon Moreno.

Record as a starter vs. the Top 25:
Tim Tebow: 1-4
Matt Stafford: 8-1

I can’t wait for the winning coach of the coke orgy to take to the 50 with a mic and say, “hey [richt or meyer], tell me how my ass tastes.” It’s going to happen, we’ve gotta believe.

War Jime Rome doing play-by-play with the Thominator for the MNC game this year. As Tebow’s folks might say, “with Fox, all things are possible.”

Solid. Rack me.

Woooooooo! Gaytors wear jean shorts!!! 42-30!!! How ’bout them Dawgs!!! Teblow suxxxxx!!!

(and when I say this, I want you to think of Bulldog-Painted-On-Head Guy screaming/spitting it at you with a strong hint of Evan Williams on his breath, and then he turns around and high fives 6-7 of his old frat brothers and laughs about how awesome that just was)

Evaluating a QB on winning a big game in college is so overrated

-Peyton Manning

It will be interesting to see whether Tebag or Stafford goes higher in the draft. Methinks the latter. But Tebag was the best player in college football last year. Darren McFaddin would kick his ass in a fight, though.

I consider myself a pretty learned individual and left this state for my Degree (Miami U- Redhawks what what?)

But every year when I get the statistics about how piss poor Georgia high school students perform, I can’t help but feeling that I survived this states educational system rather than set the bar for future generations.

And I don’t even know where to point the finger of blame.

My man-crush for the baby rhino remains in place.

Oh, and let’s pre-empt the usual list of FIVE Tebow-relevant comments

– He can’t be Aubu…

Oh, and let’s pre-empt the usual list of FOUR Tebow-relevant comments

–”He’s a glorified fullback.” Who completes 66.9 percent of his passes.

–”He’s the best 9-4 Heisman winner evarrr!!!” Totally his fault for not playing defensive tackle.

–”WOOOOOO GEORGIA!!!” You can count! Even with half your population failing to finish high school! Good for you, Chester!

–”Tebow sucks.” Yes, probably the best of the arguments here, since it doesn’t even start with a logical premise, bypasses reason, and instead moves directly to invective. Just go ahead and use this instead of any of the weakling verbiage above.

Georgia students fail English? That’s unpossible.

He’ll be a great safety in the NFL.

I think “man crush” doesn’t begin to do it justice, BTW.

He’s the best 9-4 glorified fullback who sucks to ever win WOOOOO GEORGIA the Heisman

Oh, and let’s pre-empt the usual list of ONE weagle-relevant comments

– He can’t spell beAT

lame joke, lame author, lame proofreading skills, lame.

Who was the one top 25 team he beat again?

It damn sure wasn’t Georgia if that’s what you’re getting at. Pretty sure it was UT last year actually.

#20

Holly’s rack confirms…

I’m surprised 20 comments went by without any mention of LSUfreek’s artwork. This one has a ton of detail in it with Bowden, Saban, Fulmer, Miles in it. I couldn’t slow it down, but was that JaMarcus Russell that got waxed by the Heisman to the eye?

Also, who’s on the TV in the background? It looks like Saban again.

Stunning work LSU Freek. I’m giggly (not giggety) thinking about Tebow – the Dark Rhino.

Sorry…answering my own question. It looks like Richt is on the TV.

#24

As to your unanswered question, its Ricky Jean-Francois.

And yes, LSUfreek is unreal.

When I saw the movie, I cracked up laughing at the “magic trick” part, while everyone else sucked air and got a bit freaked out. LSUFreek- you’re the man. When are you getting your own show?

Tebow deserved to win the Heisman, partly because Tebow deserved to win the Heisman and partly because no one else really did…

You can rule out Texas Tech QB and Hawaii QB, since they’re not important enough to have names anyway.

McFadden had some great games, but wasn’t even the best RB on his team the first half of the season, and his teammate averaged 3 yards/carry more than him too.

And the normal default Heisman place to look, well I don’t even know who the best player on LSU or USC’s team was, and Chris Wells was hurt and came on too late for OSU.

Yes, Silver, I am aware that it was UT. It was a joke. Anyhoo.

Richt is levitating again.

I like the preemptive strikes, except “best 9-4 heisman winner.” Put him in with Paul Horning (sp?) and we’ve got early and recent examples of national press slurping. But I’ll stop by noting the obvious: he’s a great qb.

Yeah, if there was ever a coach appropriate enough to represent Gamble, it’s Les Miles

@22, pretty sure that’s Tuberville, not Bowden

Yay, Tebow!

Every fiber of my being wants to hate Tebow… but I just can’t do it. Try as they might, the media just hasn’t tuned in their Bennifer/Brangelina over-hype machine to the right frequency yet to overshadow Tebow’s awesomeness. The guy circumcises babies for cripes sake!

Re: #33…I stand corrected.

1. LSU
2. Tennessee
3. UGA
4. Auburn
5. Florida <—————- Tim Tebow is here.
6. Arkansas
7. Mississippi State
8. Alabama
9. Kentucky
10. South Carolina
11. Vanderbilt
12. Mississippi

As a fan of a team that’s 2-1 against Florida Heisman winners, I’m cool with it if they move the award ceremony to Gainesville and rename it the Tebow.

Obviously he’s an incredible talent and a good kid. Still, the excuse that “Tebow doesn’t play DB” is a facile one when you’re looking at his record against top teams. Granted, making you look bad is what good teams do. But, by the same token, bad teams (like WKU, Troy, Vandy, South Carolina and FAU) can make your stats look absolutely inhuman and that has certainly been the case with Tebow.

Tebow either rushed or threw the ball an average of 43 plays a game. Against the aforementioned bad teams, he passed or threw on 40.25 plays. Even when Florida was blasting FAU 59-20, Tebow was involved in 45 plays. Point being, there’s a reason Tebow looks so gaudy on paper.

Here’s his average line against Auburn, LSU, Georgia and Michigan: 58.3% comp % (66.9% season),136.4 QB rating (178.3 season), 3.5 TD/INT (5.3 season), 2.6 yds/rush (4.2 season). Those are some sizable deltas from his season averages.

Respectable stuff, but not legendary. Legends are the guys who rack up the numbers against the big boys, not the ants.

Yeah, he is great, but I am still waiting for him to mature enough to be able to shake hands after a defeat.

Living in Jacksonville, both his hometown (essentially) and a Gator haven, I loathe the constant knobslobbering. It’s pretty much impossible to hate Tebow though if you’re at all rational.

Oh, and Stafford has led a few game winning type drives, including a full-fledged fourth quarter comeback against Tech in ’06.

No, I am not saying he is better than Tebow because of that.

Biggus @ #39…in Jacksonville, don’t you have to be a Tebow Knobslobberer? I mean, really…hometown kid, heisman winner, circumcisor, what else could anyone be in this town? Unless of course you are irrational, which opens up huge avenues of alternative dispositions…

Tim Tebow once stared down Mike Shula for 12 hours.

sb,

I hate knobslobbering by the media in general. If Tebow had gone anywhere but Florida, Tennessee or Auburn though, I’d probably root for him, if only because he played for my former high school.

All nyuk-nyuk-nyuking aside about Florida’s 5th-place conference finish last year, Tebow is in a strange place. He’s loved by his school, adored by the media, has put up ridiculous stats, and has a Heisman. Great! He also has 1/2 wins of any relevance (the early-season beatdown on a Tennessee squad that, let’s face it, was clearly on not-giving-a-crap mode). The losses aren’t necessarily his fault. He dinked around in the first half against Auburn and was sacked a lot and had the game-ending fumble against Georgia, but none of that was worse than Florida’s sucktastic D. Sure. But the losses are still there. 9-4, a 5th-place conference finish…sheet, Georgia did that in 2006 and we were all pretty steamed during it.

Matt Stafford isn’t in Tebow’s league, but here’s what he’s done: He brought his team back from 18 down against a very good Virginia Tech defense. Kicked Auburn’s ass twice. Had the clutch comeback against Georgia Tech- you may laugh at that Tech team, but I don’t think they’re worlds worse than Meatchicken ’07. Hit Mikey Henderson in OT. Oh, and beat Florida. Finished second in the nation. Won a BCS bowl.

Tebow’s got the stats. Stafford’s got the stories. If I were designing a college football program, I’d take Tebow. If I were designing a college football program based on games already in the books, I’d take Stafford.

Wait…so in 2006 with a first year starting QB uga did about as well as UF did in 2007…with a first year starting QB?

Shocking.

@39: Jax is home to (what I believe is) the world’s largest Georgia Bulldog Club. So there are plenty of folks there who can find other knobs to slobber. Plus, there’s always Club Jax on Hendricks.

Yeah that’s it, dammit! We didn’t give a crap!

I think there are not too many gripes against Tebow. But one of them is that the obscene numbers, the touchdowns at least came mostly from the bad opponents. Notably the games against Troy, FAU, Vandy and WKU. I know it stands to reason that a team would fair better against a worse team, but what got Tebow the Heisman was the huge number of TD’s. When he went up against the better defenses of the league, Tebow was much more human. Also, the best team the Gators beat last year was UT, and the highest ranked was Kentucky. So maybe the criticisms aren’t completely unfounded.

Another holyfucktastic thing about LSUFreek’s opus here is that it’s from a movie only in its third or fourth week in theatres.

Orson, yes I too believe that the general nature of blog commentary has denigrated into trite and juvenile overworked diatribe. I believe that I can speak for most Dawg fans and most of our SEC brethren, that in the future we will adhere to these standards.

Sincerely,

Way to rip up those straw men, Orson.

Isn’t the guy on the TV Paul Finebaum?

that is like saying Matthew Stafford sucks or John Parker Wilson sucks.

Speaking as a Longhorn fan, my only real complaint regarding Tebow involves phrases like “greatest player of our era”, or more pointedly, “a specimen Vince Young couldn’t even become in a dream” – like the one found in Mens Fitness.

It isn’t his fault that a vast majority of the national media has crowned him some kind of superman. And it isn’t to say that he isn’t a fantastic player because clearly he is. But I have seen Superman. There is only one Superman. Tebow lost twice as many games last year as Superman did his whole career.
