Is Tim Tebow the best player in the country OR.....?

Tebow has talent there is no denying that, but he plays on a good team loaded with talent and speed. I think if he played at say Boston college he would not be a two time heisman winner. I also think that Florida plays a soft schedule with home games against Charleston Southern, Troy, Fla International in addition to home games against Tennessee, Arkansas, Vandy, road games @ Mississippi State, Kentucky, and South Carolina that = 9 victories. Now they play @LSU, host the bulldogs and Florida State at the end of the year. So its like a three game schedule out of 12.I could care less who made the $EC pre season. Its the after season team that matters. I hope someone knocks the crap out of Tebow and the Gators this year to spoil the BCS plans. I want a football playoff 16 teams, win and move on or go home.

Tebow is a good player just not a good quarterback. The fact that he plays on quite possibly the best team in the best conference I think has a lot to do with him being considered the best.

Now, his game is great in college, but how does his running the ball translate into the NFL? It means an injured QB. Tebow will be a Wildcat QB, like Pat White, nothing more. He is not a passer, he's a fullback that sometimes throws the ball.

How on Earth can someone be voted on as a preseason all conference team??? The season hasn't even started yet...Tebow could blow out his knee in the first game and never play...wtf?

I was merely responding to what I saw on ESPN today. The fact that Spurrier tried to dance around the topic was ludicrous. This guy (Tebow) is apparently being touted as the face of college football and I think it's ridiculous. They (ESPN) made it sound as if the coach that didn't vote him as a first team all-SEC was gonna get blacklisted from sports or something

I think he is a smart, strong player that plays in a spread offensive system that allows him to get the ball to playmakers. Most of the receivers on the team run a 4.4 forty, and Tebow is fast enough to move out of the pocket and find an open receiver. He is also probably stronger than most tailbacks in the country. He has a pretty strong arm but doesn't have great mechanics (winds up too much to throw the. I do believe that he calls his own number a bit too much, which inflates his statistics (23 rushing TDs in 2007, and I'm guessing that about 20 of them came from within 5 yards out). I know Tebow is a great person off the field with charity work and mission trips, but on the field it's not so classy when he's throwing touchdown passes when his team is up by 40 points. I'd say he's probably one of the better players of the decade because of his decision making and his leadership on the team. He has a Heisman Trophy and a National Championship win as a starter. I'd say he should be in the conversation as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2000s along with Vince Young, Matt Leinart and Ken Dorsey.

And the whole thing about one coach not voting for Tebow is just blown out of proportion. I don't know who got the other vote, but it doesn't really matter. If it was Jevan Snead, didn't he lead Ole Miss to an upset win over Florida last year?

Yes. What Tebow has going for him is that he is not a fake like most are. He lives what he says. People are tired of hearing about players getting arrested, having many mistresses, kids to other women, and on and on. Tebow is simply the real thing, and people like that. People are mad at the media for slamming him so much, and are backing up Tebow, whether he is a good QB or not. I am in Steelers country and a Steelers fan, but gave Tebow a thumbs up for winning last Sunday. It was a good game, and the Steelers caused themselves to loose, and Tebow did well enough to win. Do you think the Brady Bunch would have spent time in a children's cancer ward like Tebow?? I didn't watch that show, so I don't know. Tebow does, and not for the publicity. Tebow puts "Legs on his lips" -- lives what he says.

Several years ago Tim Tebow's predecessor also was bolstered as the best quarterback prospect and also the next Hall of Famer.

His name was Rex Grossman, runner up the Heisman and edged out by the smallest margin in Heisman history, by Eric Crouch who currently plays for the CFL.

The Florida Gator's are indeed the SEC's recruiting hub. Keep in mind though, college and the NFL are two different leagues. We have players like Grossman and Matt Leinart who were the cream of the crop in college and epic fails in the NFL.

Then you have no name quarterbacks, bench warmers really, like Tom Brady who was drafted in round 6 and 199th overall. and Tony Romo who went undrafted.

The hype surrounding Tebow, is hype and Florida out of the SEC is the best recruiting bed.

I don't want to say that Tebow would not be a nobody in the NFL, but I wouldn't call him the best player really.

In looking at some of the teams in that conference and the opponents in the last two years, then the style of play of Tebow- he does remind me a lot of Grossman.

In college Grossman was mobile and built up his stats by popping off short passes to speed receivers. But just quickly dumping off a pass for big gains isn't that easy in the NFL.

Again Tebow is good where he is. But keep in mind that even the worst players in the NFL are still the best in the world. The best of best selected from colleges.

Tebow needs to prove himself like everyone else to be called the "best" in the business.

No to both. Tebow is a great football player, but there are better out there. Texas is the best recruiting bed. Florida just has low standards and takes the thugs in, while most places have some scruples.

Florida is where 95% of all thugs come from. They should just build a barbed wire fence around the whole state, and call it a day.

he's a really good college QB, and i think with the right team he will be a good QB in the NFL aswell:)

if anyone deserves to have the media up their butt it's tebow, he's a class act and seems like a really sweet guy. and i know he doesn't care if someone votes for him or not he's just happy to be playing:)

ESPN is just making a big deal out of it. Tebow doesnt really care if everyone votes for him or not

The second guy got it exacly right. And it never was a crime. I hated what Spurrier said at his news conference. I thought he should have done something Lane Kiffin would probably do.

ever= joe montana

=current= tom brady

college=tebow or bradford
