The Contenders: Florida - Sunday Morning Quarterback
A couple weeks ago, I started to get into a really, really foolish argument with a Georgia fan who argued on his Sporting News-hosted "blog" that "Tim Tebow is not a quarterback." Not that he isnt a good quarterback, or, in this specific case, that hes not a quarterback the NFL will be particularly interested in next April or in 2010 despite the Tebow Childs prototype size and strength and ability to make panties disappear while curing malaria with his smile. But rather that Tebows fundamental duties in Floridas offense are not akin to those of a typical passer, that he is a runner first, and that Urban Meyers offense is a sort of gimmick that takes the heavy mental lifting out of the hands of its "quarterback" and is ultimately a liability to his overall development. Because he occasionally resembles a single-wing tailback and carried the ball twice as often as any other player in Floridas offense, Tebow just doesnt do what a real quarterback does.
