What we will all be waiting for is you to develop a brain.

Tebow's accuracy has NEVER been good. Florida had some great players which Tebow benefited from. Did he occasionally make a good throw? Yep but most of the time they were wide open or he would just tuck the ball and run.

Nothing about Tebow's game translates to the NFL.

HE is nowhere near accurate enough. He was a GREAT college quarterback. He is not the first great college players who didn't have the skills to make it in the NFL.

I never said he was overrated or that I hate the guy. That is just the conclusion u come to when u see people posting that his game doesn't transition into the nfl well. To say that he is the greatest quarterback in the history of college football is ignorant. Saying he was the most successful college qb ever is a fair argument

Oh WOW! I didnt realize i was in the the presence of such LSU Elitists!.....No need for insults....I would love to hear your opinion on the greatest quarterback in CFB....

I think it would be BEST though to say that IGNORANCE is trashing a man like Tebow or anyone else who hasn't gotten a chance to prove himself....you know before all the stats are in : ) so why don't you reserve judgement until a) he fails miserably b) simply fades away into 3rd string mediocrity or c) He proves to be successful.....

"gimmick quarterback"??

aren't you better than that? how soon lsu fans forget....Tebow basically dominated yall for all 4 years. Yes yall won his sophomore year, but it wasn't cause your D shut him down....it was cause our D had 9 freshman starters and we couldn't stop JH on 4th down. Please don't post his stats from his senior year as that was his first game back after the concusssion. You still couldn't beat a concussed/gimmicky qb led team.


Silly LSU fans with short-term memory loss.......I know some of yall remember/fear this gimmicky guy LINK

I'll just let this page do the talking for me. Dude was one of the most accurate passers during his time.....this includes deep passes (the stats are out there somewhere). Again, his college career has absolutely nothing to do with his NFL career (at least pertaining to this discussion).

First off...those stats don't show how many screen/dump passes he threw. Secondly, the jump pass is illegal. you can't have offensive linemen moving forward during a pass play. thirdly, you guys may be the biggest homers this board has ever seen. It seems only Flor fans think he was accurate. Watch his arm motion. Every throw is a different motion. Don't make this a LSU hate thing.

again, dude was one of the most accurate qbs in the country during his time. Stats don't lie. There are stats out there showing his accuracy beyond 15 yard passes (through the air) and he was right at the top of the list.

looks like 4 years of domination to me


even though he was playing with a concussion, he still was responsible for the only TD in the game against yall in 2009.....domination


2008 was a complete blowout.....

2007, in what his 5th start ever, in TS, with the shittiest/most inexperienced Florida defense in 20+ years, he single-handedly almost beat the MNC winning team, lol.

2006, didn't even start.....and still was responsible for every Florida TD that game. Threw for 2 TDs and ran for 1 on a 4th down conversion to help propel UF to the NC that year.


yep, DOMINATION!!!!

he was good but he wasn't the passing threat u make him out to be. i'm done. u're a complete homer. good luck finding anyone outside of gainesville thinking he was a great passer.

I'll post again very clearly so you might comprehend.

the dude threw almost 1,000 times while @ UF

he completed over 66% of his passes with a 170.8 career qb rating

he was responsible for 145 TDS (and over 12,000 yards).....while throwing a grand total of 16 interceptions





yep, I'm just a homer, the stats lie, Tebow was overrated, just a gimmicky qb in a gimmick offense.....anything else I'm missing? oh, and he only dumped the ball of for short screens every time

A lot of rumors right now that Tebow will be cut or traded by Labor Day because he's supposed to receive a $6.25 million bonus if he's still on the roster by September 2nd.

I doubt they understand this and what it means. To them throwing a hb dump off or hail mary is the same as hitting a guy 15 yards down field on a slant route. Not to mention a majority of tebows passes were to the primary receiver and he never learned to read a defense. I still think he can learn to do those things because he is a workaholic but he needs to correct his mechanics or he will be inaccurate and get n trouble because of his slow release

I'm sure (you being an LSU fan and all), you can remember pretty vividly Tebow's "coming out party" his freshman year in which he threw a 50+ yard bomb to Louis Murphy against yall


dont be a dick with the cheap shot. i think if you werent looking through gator eyes you would see that the point the dude was making was that in that system, most of his success throwing deep was due to misdirection PA passes bc of the system of offense.

and for the record, that long TD was to a WIDE THE F OPEN murphy off of that same PA fake run out of the gun play. Genius call and genuis play, but MOST successful bc of the talent around him and his running abilities. I too want him to succeed but i doubt he ever will playing in a pro style offensive atmosphere. i hope im wrong but if the past says anything about the future- he wont be near as dominant a player.
