re: Tebow, JD, and Burrow

Statistically, Daniels and Burrow had better peak seasons than Tebow. However, Tebow's role in the running game has to be taken into account. He ran like a fullback from QB position, while Florida had speed guys to stretch defenses horizontally. An exceptional complementary mix of inside and outside running.
I remember watching one of his high school games with Nease, and they put him at DT for a goal line stand. That indicated to me what type of player he'd be. Toughness, physicality, character, leadership -- Tebow epitomized these traits as a college football player.

It’s semantics, but I’d consider Tebow more of a great college football player than a great college QB.

JD is great but never really had a chance to prove any clutch ability.

I have to disagree. Last year's defense was so bad Daniels had to be clutch EVERY drive. Answering score after score against SEC defenses is pretty damn clutch to me.

All three performed great. However, I think Tebow tied up the x-factor after he gave this speech (LINK ) and then delivered.

I dont know what you mean by tied up the x-factor but Joe B was eat up with it. Confidence exuded from his body and the whole team fed off of it

Cam Newton dragged an untalented Auburn team to an undefeated national title.

Daniels - Who else was going to get it?

Exactly many forget that there were 2 other contenders that should have had it, but both screwed themselves out of it.
