Tim Tebow (Blessed)

Heisman isn't still all about numbers - McCoy is quite simply the biggest assest to his team and arugably one of the most vital players in the country to a teams success.

Not against Oklahoma. He threw 40 passes for 120 yards 1 td and three fumbles. His passing TD production is on par with Pryor. That's a pretty revealing statistic.

If McCoy is the favorite for the heisman at this point, it's even more of a joke than before. What has he done to earn the award besides being famous for his past achievements?

Tebow ducked the media after the Miss St game. Now he's receiving criticism in an unprecedented (toward him) manner. Check the last line in the article.

Tim Tebow: No answers

Tim Tebow's 2008 season was defined by "The Speech." Saturday night, after what was unquestionably the worst performance of his Florida career, the Gators star had nothing to say. It marked the first time as a starter (besides the Kentucky concussion game) that Tebow was not available to the media.

I'm not one of those writers who feels an athlete is morally obligated to help fill reporters' notebooks, and it's hard to criticize a guy who's never once complained about his highly public existence. But Tebow's rare bout as a recluse speaks volumes about the level of frustration he's undoubtedly feeling right now.

Saturday night at Mississippi State, the former Heisman winner threw not one, but two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns (both on tipped passes, both by Bulldogs freshman safety Jonathan Banks). The first, just before halftime, came on a third-and-goal at the eight and let Mississippi State back in the game. The second, after Florida had pulled away 29-13, came when Tebow tried to throw out of his own end zone late in the game.

Tebow finished just 12-of-22 for 127 yards on the night, his lone highlight coming on a 26-yard touchdown run.

"He's very frustrated," Gators coach Urban Meyer said Sunday. "He's used to playing at a certain level."

Tebow is hardly the only one to blame for Florida's continued offensive woes. The offensive line has allowed 10 sacks in the past two games. Receiver Riley Cooper and tight end Aaron Hernandez continue to be the only pass-catchers of note. And the Gators have been downright horrendous in the red zone, scoring just two touchdowns in 15 tries over the past three games.

Still, Tebow is the one with the "Superman" label, the guy who television announcers talk about "willing his team to win" at least 10 times per broadcast. So far this season, that image has been shattered. He's thrown eight touchdowns in seven games. He's been held below 200 yards passing in all but one game. He remained on most Heisman Watch lists coming into the week, but after Saturday night's display, I don't see how that could possibly continue.

We came into the year debating whether Tebow might become the best college quarterback in history. Right now, he's not even on the short list of best quarterbacks this season.

Yep, I agree with Mandel that Tebow isn't even on the short list of best QBs this season.

His stats are very underwhelming through 7 games:

Passing: 84/132 (63.6 completion %), 1159 yards (166/game), 8 TD 4 INT
Rushing: 121/466 (3.9 yards/carry), 6 TD

Heck, Pryor's numbers are very similar (some slightly better, some slightly worse):

Passing: 102/184 (55.4 completion %), 1408 yards (176/game), 12 TD, 9 INT
Rushing: 101/471 (4.7 yards/carry), 5 TD

It's unbelievable that Tebow's name is even mentioned in the Heisman Trophy conversation right now.

TIM TEBOW DISMISSES GEORGIA MATCHUP AS "AS MEANINGLESS AS ANY OTHER."
Tim Tebow, clad in an ironic t-shirt reading "IRONIC T-SHIRT," announced that this
year's Georgia-Florida game "won't be any different than any other time the two
schools meet" during Florida's weekly press conference on Monday.



Appearing disinterested and unshaven, the star quarterback
answered questions in a low mumble as reporters asked him
about the upcoming matchup with historical rivals the Bulldogs.

"I don't really see how this matchup is any different from any other
matchup between two groups of athletes from adjacent and arbitrarily
drawn geographic regions. It's not going to be any more special, because
football isn't special. Nothing is special. Not even love, which is a lie.
...A dirty, filthy lie."

Kelly Thinks Tebow Is Perfect For Bills

The Buffalo Bills have started nine different quarterbacks since Jim Kelly retired -- and the Hall of Famer says a key to a return to greatness for the franchise begins under center, USA Today reported.
Kelly, who wants to help the team return to greatness and assure its long-term future remains in Buffalo, says that quarterback could be Florida's Tim Tebow, according to the report.
"Whether it's Tim Tebow, whether they'll have a shot at him when draft time comes ... you have to look at the top three quarterbacks in the draft, really study them. And you look for a guy with good character, good leadership ability and good arm strength -- and a guy who doesn't come from California," Kelly said, according to the report.
Quarterbacks from the Golden State haven't done well of late on the shores of Lake Erie, Kelly said, according to the report. Rob Johnson went 4-7 from 1998-2001; former first-round draft pick J.P. Losman didn't pan out and landed in the UFL after losing the starting job to Trent Edwards; and Edwards was benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick last week by interim coach Perry Fewell.

Fantastic, not only would it be great for Buffalo to draft another unsucessful future "QB"... but Tebow will actually have to *gasp* play in the cold.

Not sure how well that's gonna go over...

Interesting that Kelly says the Bills need to avoid drafting a Cali quarterback, but seems OK will a Florida born and breed QB.

Perhaps he's talking more about a mindset than a location?

A very good career capped off with a loss in the SECCG. Still has a bowl game to decide what his final legacy will look like. Certainly not the best player of all time like some have said.

Unfortunately for him, the nauseating media hype about him, the endless TBN preacher act, and his conduct towards Oklahoma players last year in the NC game will make lots of people relish Tebow's and Florida's big loss today.
