Who wins their first game as an NFL quarterback first?

Heisman Trophy Winner - Tim Tebow

Heisman Trophy Winner - Troy Smith

You do realize that Troy Smith has already won an NFL game as a starter, right?






Also, I don't doubt that Tebow is an intelligent human being and is capable of being a good student, but give me a freaking break. Any average human being could graduate with that major, not to mention that Tebow is a walking GOD at Florida. If you think that he put in the same kind of effort as any normal student, you have the wool over your eyes big time. Tebow could have have christmas-treed every single one of his exams and still have gotten an A. There is not a single professor on that campus who would have failed the school's superstar QB, especially in the middle of championship contending seasons.


I'm not saying that Tebow cheated or was given everything, but he definitely had a lot of people on his side to make sure his academics were in line. No disrespect to Home Ec majors either, it is a perfectly respectable field and it is what a lot of people love to do, but I don't think that you are going to win any academic achievement awards for it.

Either this is true, or you have to tell me why not, even though you think it to be true at UF.

How exactly does one end up with a 3.5 GPA as a homeschooler? I seriously have no idea how that works. Did his mom grade his assignments?

Apparently - a school district representative

In most school districts ---
Home-schoolers are not completely under the auspices of their parents.

The child is still an enrollee of whatever school district.
Home-schoolers have to check in with a certified teacher in the district,
at least, once a week - who corrects their assignments -
assigns a grade - tutors them - and so forth.

Ouch - an 890 is in the 2nd percentile.

Either he's dumber than a box of rocks, or he wanted to go to the higher end and lower ends of the NCAA eligibility scaling.

Or, as another poster highlighted, it happens to fall into his area of interests. I guess it's the cool thing to bash TT. Perhaps you should wait 5 yrs down the road, and see how "successful" he is in his career, before making judgments on something you can only speculate on at this point in time.

Again, the issue isn't that Tebow chose to major in home ec or that it may just have been the most appropriate major for him. The issue is with his chorus of worshippers attempting to cram it down everyone's throats that pulling a 3.6 in home ec somehow makes him this super scholar-athlete. The CBS announcers constantly raved about what a studious honors student he was, once calling him "the epitome of the modern scholar-athlete" and the absurdity reached its pinnacle when they gave him the Draddy.

Had he not been put on an academic pedestal for having been a home ec major, almost no one would ever have known--or cared--what his major was.

890! :lol:

I'm sure he wasn't being taught to pass standardized tests like public school students were, but seriously....I scored higher than that when I took it during middle school

That's what I meant by 2a. I meant, he might view the scenario as, Why try in school when I can not and be just as successful?

Gotcha. I guess I just took a little umbrage with the use of the word "lazy."

And in interest of complying with BuckeyePlanet Code, Sub-section TT, rule 8.90, regarding any mention of SAT scores, was that out of 1600 or 2400?

Actually Gator, Troy graduated with a classic humanities/social science degree (forget what the actual department was) and was in an interdisciplinary master's degree program his senior year.
