Ive always felt privileged to have grown up and witnessed Mike Jordan, Joe Montana, and now maybe we're witnessing the best college qb ever?
at least Ainge received a passing mention. I am curious as to hear the Nation's best guess as to how Tennessee stops him or UF in general this year.
As Sagacity also pointed out, "impulse" is the right word, because by any reasonable measure, Tebows debut as a sophomore, a first-year starter in the most vaunted conference in the country was among the greatest single statistical seasons any quarterback has ever produced. This might be true even if you take away his 900 yards and SEC-record 23 touchdowns rushing: Tebow was second in the nation in pass efficiency, first in yards per attempt, second in touchdown percent. His passer rating was almost 30 points higher than any other quarterback in the SEC, two of whom (Erik Ainge and Andre Woodson) were career starters who went in the draft, and 45 points higher than classmate and fellow scout favorite Matt Stafford's. Tebow had by far the best TD:INT ratio in the conference (32:6) and the best completion percentage. His average attempt went for a full two yards more than the league's number two YPA (Stafford). He was not only the best quarterback in the conference he was the best by a mile. Run the numbers back, and he was the best of the decade. Saurian Sagacity ran them back against other H*i*m*n-winning quarterbacks in the last decade again, only the passing stats just to show how overwhelming Tebows production actually was:
That rating is phenomenal by any standard. Again, as a sophomore, and again, before his contributions to the running game are accounted for. I dont think anyone who watched him play against Tennessee, LSU, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida State or Michigan needed all of that to understand: Tebow is the closest thing going at the moment to a force of nature, and as long as hes in the lineup, Florida is a contender to outscore anyone.
