They seem to have simular styles. Which qb do you feel is better or do we not know enough yet.

I think Crompton will be used a little differently than Ainge but Tennessee is Tennessee or Cut is Cut. Tebow will probably fit his system better so he will probably have more initial success but that doesn't mean Crompton isn't as good.

Why are we talking about this now when two years from now seems a bit more logical. Just my .02

There is no way to tell who is better now. They both have taken minimal snaps in a actual game. I think they may be the same style of player, but they won't be used anywhere near the same way. It would be like comparing apples and oranges.

Ainge blew the game? are you kidding. If it was not for ainge we would might have scored 1 touchdown and that is a maybe. Yea Aigne had two bad decisions at the end of the game but that was it.

I think we all know Tebow is pretty good at handoffs. :BANGHEAD2:

And yes, TSX, I was being sarcastic.

My personal opinion is that Meyer's saving grace right now is that Leak doesn't allow him to implement his offense. It's one thing for Tebow to come in and run some sneaks. It's an entirely different matter for him to get hit by SEC caliber defenders on 50% of their plays like he will next year.

Barring injury, we will have to wait until year after next to see how good Crompton truly is. There's nothing he can do to pass Ainge.

Crompton is a passer that can run well.

Tebow is a runner who can pass some.

I don't think they are the same style of QB's

It's like saying Steve Young and Vick are the same because both can run. They are not. Young was a thrower who could run. Vick is a runner first thrower second.

I tend to think that Tebow is a passer that can run as well. He is just better at the latter than most other QB's that fall into that category.

He has a big arm but I'm not a big fan of his throwing motion, and from what I saw from him during warm-ups Saturday he didn't know how to adjust speed on shorter routes. He pretty much threw as hard as he could about every time so I dunno about his touch.

I still think he will be a decent passer, even though I hope he sucks and can't throw the ball in the ocean. He is still a true freshman so he has 4 years of coaching at the collegiate level to fix those few problems.

Yep I mean don't get me wrong, I have only seen him play in one game before Saturday. I think an ESPN high school game with his team against Hoover, Al. (I believe). And then his warm-ups Saturday so I dont have alot to go on. But his delivery was very funky.

He does not have a fluid motion, that's for sure. Plus, I saw someone comment on here that right now he can just zing the ball -- he is missing touch. I think there is some merit to that observation.

But, on the flip side, he's so strong and athletic that his shortcomings on floating the ball out there for someone to run under are well worth the trade. Plus, with some work, I'm optimistic he can improve on throwing the ball with a little less on it.

With the way that Urban's offense is designed, however, I'm not sure just how much the staff is going to want to tinker with his throwing style. So much of what he will do in that offense is run or set up the run or option. When it is time to pass, I don't see him as doing it the way Leak does (or most Florida QBs have in the past), i.e. throw to a spot and count on the receiver to run his route so as to be there.

Yes I do agree he has a big time arm.

i don't have any doubts that Tebow will be a good qb for meyer's system....

and crompton will be fine too....i think they both have great upside, but the future is uncertain for both....

To follow up a little. Take the pass from Leak to Baker off the plal action, the go ahead score in the 4th. There, Leak saw Baker cutting and threw to a spot. Baker was there, all by himself.

I see Tebow really putting a lot more mustard on the ball. Now, that can be bad in the sense that Leak's throw allowed time for Baker to get there. and that's just experience and game time for both of them. On the flip side, it reduces, in my thinking, the opportunity for mistake because you aren't tossing it out to an area where someone is SUPPOSED to be as much as you are throwing to someone already moving in the direction they will be in when they catch the ball.

I remember 10 years ago, after one of the FSU-Florida games, I was watching the Bobby Bowden show. They showed several clips of the Gator offense and Bowden was just plain amazed at how Wuerffel would throw the ball 40 yards downfield, with very little on it. The ball hung for what seemed like an eternity. The receiver STILL had a cut or two to make and might have been 15 yards from where the ball was coming down. and yet the connection got made. That was a combination of just tremendous athletic ability for both QB and receiver, shared game experience and recognizing together and at the line of scrimmage what was going to happen on the play, and of course the influence of Spurrier.

I haven't seen that in awhile for Florida. Still don't quite see it with Leak, though he improves all the time on that score, I think. Won't know about Tebow for three more years.
