But here are things that make him drop as compared to QBs I’ve watched:

• He had 32 passing touchdowns, and 23 rushing touchdowns in 2007 which is great individually…but his team went 9-4 which is bad.

• He still has yet to lead Florida to an undefeated season. This is huge for me. Despite his impressive two national championships (1 starting and 1 as a reserve), both of his teams had 1-loss. Do I think rank a championship as better if it goes undefeated? You betcha.

The QBs I’m going to compare him to this decade are Vince Young, Matt Leinart and Ken Dorsey.

Records for the others:
Vince Young (30-2)
Matt Leinart (37-2)
Ken Dorsey (38-2)

Tebows record as a starter: (22-5)

You can’t tell me Florida hasn’t had the same type of talent Texas, USC and Miami had under those QBs and Tebow’s record is by far the worst. So Tebow’s record is a little unimpressive which doesn’t help him in comparisons.

I want to write more, but my main point, is shouldn’t Tebow lead his Gators to an undefeated season first before people regard him as the best ever? Why? Because there are other QBs that have won a MNC by going undefeated and people are putting Tebow in front of them.

He threw an 80 yard hail mary to himself. Afterwards he converted his own POT in which he long snapped and also held for. The ensuing kick-off he tackled the ball carrier while circumsizing an entire orphanage of Philipino boys. During a timeout, he built a chapel for his parents on a bluff overlooking the ocean, so they could see him baptisizing heathens and teaching abandoned dolphins how to swim and hunt. After the game he led a prayer at midfield and mysteriously 7 virgin cheerleaders were impregnated.
Little known fact: Tebow actually traveled back in time and gave Bronislau Nagurski the nickname “Bonko”.

Do the USC fans really think he’s the best ever? You’d think they’d know…

Anyway, Tebow is a game managing quarterback and a team leader at fullback. They trust him to get the short yards, but they go to their speedy guys to get them the big plays and long drives. Even when he is supposed to be at his best, however, he still lost the Ole Miss game for them on fourth and short. Blame it on the offensive line if you want, Gators, but then you’re just giving them credit for all of Tebow’s biggest pushes.

One fourth quarter “come back” in his career? And that was at the very beginning of a fourth quarter which he started with his team already deep in Alabama territory. You say Tebow doesn’t need to come back because he takes care of business ahead of time? Well by Sunkist’s count above, Florida could have used 5 more fourth quarter comebacks with Tebow running the show. Where was the baby rhino then? Willing them to victory, no doubt. He just needed another quarter or so.

Here’s a Tebow fact: If Tebow started a throw when you started reading this comment, then he would have released the ball just before the beginning of this sentence.

Colt Mc-Freakin’-Coy outplayed Tim Tebow last year, for God’s sake. Colt threw for 4 more TD’s than Tebow, and ran for only one fewer (11 to 12) in one less game. Colt ran for just 100 yards less than Tebow and threw for over a thousand more yards, in one less game. Colt did this as the team’s leading rusher with an anemic running game that no one respected and constantly disappeared. Tebow lined up with Percy Harvin on an outstanding rushing team.

Tebow’s last play on the field in his only loss last season was him getting stopped on fourth down and losing the game to an unranked team in his home stadium. Colt’s last play on the field in his only loss last season was handing off to Vondrell McGee to cap a miracle 80 yard drive to take the lead by a single point on the road against a top 5 ranked team in a game in which Texas trailed 22-6 to start the second half.

Maybe that’s not fair, we’re not comparing the great baby rhino’s best season with Colt’s best season. True, Tebow’s numbers in 2007 do outshine Colt’s numbers from 2008 in some areas, especially touchdowns, but unless you want to argue that leading the FLORIDA GATORS to a 9-4 record, including a loss to a frankly bad Michigan team in the Citrus Bowl, qualifies him as the greatest QB of all time, then I think you’re better off sticking to Tebow’s national championship season last year.

The point here is not that Colt McCoy is the best college football player ever. The point is that Colt McCoy has outperformed Tebow in many ways over his career. Hopefully Tebow manages to not lose to an unranked team at home this year, or at least the polls forget about it again, and we get to see Colt and Tebow in a “Will your team to victory contest” in the fourth quarter. In that situation, I can only conjure up two QBs that I’d want guiding my offense, one already won that contest against USC’s Matt Leinart in early 2006, and the other will have his chance to prove me right next season.

So you take your “greatest ever quarterback”, and we’ll take our second greatest ever quarterback. The road to Pasadena is long, but if you get a little lost along the way, you might ask one Mr. Young for directions.

We already know the way.

ask: if youre down by 5, on the road, in a really big game, with the world watching, would he be your guy?……{{say, in a rose bowl for example}}

myself, id rather have Colt guiding my comeback…or #10
