With that said, I have a feeling that if he does play, LSU has a better chance of winning because I don't think Tebow is going to be "Tebow" at 100%... IMO...He isn't going to be lowing his head and shoulders on 3rd and 3..


Good point, I think you are right too!!! I also think that Brantley is still going to get playing time. This could a QB1 QB1a situation. No one really knows until game time. Go Gators

Tebow will not play. At 19, I suffered a concussion and even after two weeks, I had still not recovered fully. It was something I never won't to go through again.


......with all due respect, you're not Tebow.

Bait, I hope Tebow plays and is alright. He's a good guy. Best of luck the rest of the year, because we want an LSU-Florida SEC championship game.

If he plays, then the coaches aren't truly looking out for the best interests of Tebow or the team. The difference between a doctor saying "He can play" and "He's 100%" is not a gray area I'd put somebody in. LSU isn't going to pussy-foot around if he plays. They are going to hit him like anyone else when the opportunity arises (anyone who thinks LSU will be "head-hunting" underestimates the character of our players).

(TIME TO STATE THE OBVIOUS) Helmet-to-helmet contact is just one of many scenarios in which Tebow could aggravate his condition.

(BACK TO MY POINT) If he is allowed to play and takes another knee to the head, for example... He could sideline himself for future games (best case) or even cause permanent brain damage (worst case). Whether or not that affects the outcome of this season - who knows? Does putting a player at risk "in order to win" sound any smarter than "he wanted to play" when speaking to the parents of potential recruits?


If Tebow plays, my respect for Urban Meyer will be ZILCH.
