True, he is a remarkable talent having a fantastic season, but his passing game is still majorly flawed. His passer rating is superb and he makes good decisions for the most part, however, when teams don't have to play the run as much, he can't carve up a defense. I was at a bar with about 14 Gator fans during the LSU game, and not 1 person honestly thought he was going to lead an 80 yard drive with a minute left, because his passing game isn't at that level. He hopefully will get better at precision, but right now he has to improve so UF can play from behind when need be.JohnnyDakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692210160183502343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-23960359930011615172007-11-13T22:16:00.000-05:002007-11-13T22:16:00.000-05:00CHASE DANIEL!!!!!!!CHASE DANIEL!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-62658086789194757832007-11-13T17:07:00.000-05:002007-11-13T17:07:00.000-05:00He wont have the best passer rating.

Yet he still puts up good passing yards. You knock Harvin's ability to come through in the 4th, I can knock Dixon's wideouts for an inability to catch a pass that hits them in the chest.<BR/><BR/>Tebow has 2 picks that can be taken off the board? Dixon has at least 2 I could take off under those lines. A Hail Mary at the end of a first half (far more excusable than any pick recorded) and a badly tipped ball.<BR/><BR/>Nobody out west knows how to defend a player similar to Tim Tebow? Jake...Locker...Pacific Time Zone Tebow. Not as strong, but much faster.<BR/><BR/>Nobody out west plays D or plays in the SEC? First, USC is regarded by many as the best defense in the nation. Dixon didn't destroy them, but he played well enough to win. The SEC is a grand 0-1 vs the Pac-10 this year with a losing record to them (and .500 vs the other BCS conferences) in the BCS era. So don't hide behind a weak "but he plays in the SEC!" argument. The ducks have the 12th hardest schedule in the nation; no SoS arguments work.<BR/><BR/>Finally, value to his team. This is where your lack of knowledge really hurts your argument.<BR/><BR/>Dennis Dixon is EVERYTHING to Oregon. His command of the spread option is what makes the offense so good. His ability to read a D and make the quick decision to keep or handoff is not shared by any of his backups. His mobility is especially not shared. Dennis Dixon is every bit as important to his 1 loss national title contending team as Tebow is to his 3-loss out of the picture team.<BR/><BR/>All that said, Tebow deserves to be in this argument but your teams performance matters in the Heisman as does your class. Tebow won't and shouldn't beat Dixon...Janus09https://www.blogger.com/profile/10051036517419440998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-43967740848074037782007-11-13T15:00:00.001-05:002007-11-13T15:00:00.001-05:00"Oh, and extra points to you for ripping only blac..."Oh, and extra points to you for ripping only black players in your comparisons (Dennis Dixon, Vince Young and Michael Vick)."<BR/><BR/>Even i have the reading comprehension skills to see that the references to vince young and michael vick's were compliments in that they are probably the two most dynamic college qbs of the past 20 years. keep hope alive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-26276642635101517742007-11-13T15:00:00.000-05:002007-11-13T15:00:00.000-05:00Where is this weight room you speak of?Where is this weight room you speak of?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-17998513643209123292007-11-13T14:55:00.001-05:002007-11-13T14:55:00.001-05:00I think the X-factor that Tebow brings is leadersh...I think the X-factor that Tebow brings is leadership and enthusiasm.

How could you possibly know? There is simply no evidence this year that the SEC is significantly better than the other conferences. They have a completely bland out of conference record. All of this could be resolved if teams agreed to schedule tougher OOC games. Unfortunately, it is in no SEC team's interest to do so, especially because they get a pass for poor OOC scheduling because everyone just drinks the kool-aid of how awesomely tough their in conference schedule is. Vanderbilt plays at home against Wake Forest in two weeks. That should be a fairly good barometer of your hypothesis.<BR/><BR/>For the record, I think 6-4 Mississippi's State's 38-13 loss to WVU is the SEC's worst OOC defeat.Taud's Palhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055787981816792822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-3645108862553677832007-11-13T14:42:00.000-05:002007-11-13T14:42:00.000-05:00Very well written.

He may win it next year or his senior season (if he stays) with lesser stats because Moody and Rainey will be legit RBs. <BR/><BR/>And to Mr. Ostertag, Auburn's loss to USF was the SEC's worst OOC loss. I would like to believe the power conferences are very similar to each other but UF just scored again on Ohio State. And the Cal-Tenn series was a split. Vandy, the 11th team in the SEC, could beat half of the Pac 10 or Big 10. They didn't get the 23rd ranked total defense based on pundits. Maybe the talent is similar, but the coaching and demands are not.mlmintampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383034310094048696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-9025221051034673182007-11-13T14:33:00.000-05:002007-11-13T14:33:00.000-05:00That is the single gayest thing I have ever read. ...That is the single gayest thing I have ever read.

The accept...I agree with most of what was written. The accepted truth, however, that the SEC is made up of twelve '78 Steelers and the rest of the conferences are a bunch of slapdicks bothers me.<BR/><BR/>Where is the proof that the SEC is so super awesome? They certainly do not beat up on other BCS conferences when they play each other. There is no real evidence that playing in the SEC this year is any more difficult than playing in the PAC 10, or the Big East for that matter. Whenever this issue is brought before a fan of an SEC team, however, they look at you like you are from another planet and simply dismiss you as some sort of football novice.<BR/><BR/>The most laughable of all SEC supremacy arguments is that SEC teams do not get motivated for non-conference games. Are you serious? Auburn didn't care about a home night game on national television against South Florida? That is ridiculous. Am I supposed to believe that Brandon Cox didn't try to complete passes against the USF secondary, but did against UF's?<BR/><BR/>I think the real truth is that the 6 BCS conferences are much closer to one another than most like to believe. That being said, after watching every important UF game so far this year, it is pretty clear to me that Tim Tebow is deserving of the Heisman trophy. Granted, I have only seen one half of one game involving Dennis Dixon.Taud's Palhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055787981816792822noreply@blogger.com
