Actually I think May is one of the best "heads" on ESPN, but the comment still rankles me. I have heard others give kudos to the SEC.

Congrats to Tim. That's painful to say, as he's a Gator, but great season. Here's to hoping that we can find a way to shut him down next year.

i'm failing to see how you're proving anybody wrong GA. Jesse Palmer's most famous post graduation moment was definitely not anything he did in the NFL. It's not like anyone else on your list has done anything special in the NFL either.

Nevermind that Rex Grossman, Doug Johnson, Jesse Palmer and Danny Wuerrfel all got starts in the NFL.

I think the point being made was regarding longevity...a fair one. But to be sure, the argument is well publicized that it has been Spurrier's fun&gun qb's that haven't made the transition well. Personally, I think a healthy Tebow excels in the NFL.

I'm not trying to turn any of them into Joe Montana, but the facts are the facts. Despite their results, they've been special enough to get drafted, make a roster and start at the most difficult position in professional sports. It's not like a whole lot of SEC schools can claim a better stable of NFL QB's.

that's understandable, but I agree with whoever said it first, it's not that they don't get their shot, it's that they don't do anything with their shot at glory. UF qbs have a far worse track record than Duke Bball players, and that's saying something.

I Wish Tebow was another arrogant gator,someone who cares more about him and no one else. That is just not him. He lives by the method I truly respected in a person: first is God,second is Family, and third is sports.

BZZZZ. Wrong answer. Third was academics, and fourth was sports. The kid has his priorities in the right order.

Tebow deserved the award.

I dont know how he will do in the NFL, he reminds me of Steve Young except more athletic

American collegiate football is IMO the best sport in the world, but there are two things about it that are absolutely incomprehensible when you try to explain them to somebody from, say, Ireland. One is the ridiculous method of determining a so-called "champion," and the other is the Heisman Trophy.

McFadden was the best player, by far; Tebow had the best year, by far (largely thanks to the fact that UF had nobody else to run the ball). Whoever you think deserved the award depends on how you interpret the word "outstanding." As I said in a different thread, McFadden will probably have gotten over the disappointment in about five years when he's a perennial Pro Bowler and Tebow's pimping his new real estate business in Gainesville.

That still doesn't have anything to do with the 1997 season. The award isn't trying to predict NFL success, it is all about that 1 year. They will never have it as bad as Crouch over Grossman, though.

Woodson over Manning was a FAR more egregious error than Crouch over Grossman. Woodson over Manning was a damn joke.
