I still don't get the Tebow/Vick has same skills. You might as well as throw Vince Young in the discussion. VY is a better passer and runner than Tebow. Look how far that got him.
 
Not trying to beat a dead horse here, but if you think Tebow could run in the NFL (from the QB position), than you might want to stop giving opinions on the sport. Being in the NFL will be the first time he's not a man amongst boys. In high school, he was a man amongst boy. Same in college. Its a whole different level in the NFL. Thats why there are not a bunch of guys who can throw and run it. And if you are looking at guys who can throw and run it, Tebow wouldn't be anywhere near the top of that list.

look how well your boy Matt leinhart is doing !!
 
You never know in the NFL who will make it and who won't or else they would of drafted Brady on the first pick.It's a crapshoot at best
 
We will find out about Tebow in 2 years, just let me enjoy him for one more year

How often do you hear that from great atheletes?Not to often
 
He is more than a great football player, he is a fine young man, and a great role model. If there were more people like Tim Tebow, the world would be a better place
 
Whatever he does in life I am sure he will be a success.He already is a success, and it has nothing to do with football.
 
 

give me a break dude.  loyalty my ass.  he's coming back because he doesn' thave draft status---even first day probably.  he won't have status next year either.  terrible throwing motion, not good reading more confusing defenses, and isn't fast enough to be a dual threat in NFL.

he is going to have to change positions, wheter he delays the inevitable is up to him

Krotch, can I call you crotch
 
I have been arguing your point of Tebow's funny throwing motion for 3 years. In 1996 Danny Wuerffel became the highest rated QB in passing efficiecy at 163, topping Jim McMahon and Ty Detmer.IIn 3 years Tebow,s pass eff. rating is 175
 
2006- 201 (33 ATT) #1 if he would of been eligble
2007- 172  #2
2008- 172  #4
Every year he has bettered Wuerffel at 163
 
Can you imagine what he could have if he didn't THROW FUNNY
 
These passing stats do not include all he has done rushing.Last year he became the first NCAA player to run and throw for 20+
32 passing 23 rushing
 
I am not arguing he will be a great NFL QB,or even a great RB all I,m saying is he is a great college QB and after next year will go down as one of THE GREATEST college players of all time.

THE LEGEND GROWS
 
It was just reported That Tebow had surgery on his right shoulder and was expected to be ready for spring practice.
 
They removed a bone spur and hopefully  will reduce chronic inflamation..He injured his non throwing shoulder against Ky in Oct 2007 and re-aggravated it early this year. He had painkilling injections before each of the last 6 games last year.
 
To play at such a high level with this going on is remarkable
 
I'm sure the bashers will have a different take. Why, it beats the hell out of me

Nevertheless, whoever decides to come back to Florida needs to take an insurance policy out worth 5-6 million.  When I was at Florida, my buddy Ed Chester got injured and it was career ending.  Thank goodness he took out that policy a year before.
 
Tebow coming back = Right Decision
Harvin coming back = Wrong Decision
Spikes coming back = Wrong Decision
 
Harvin has nothing else to prove at the college level except that he can go one season without injury.  But who cares, his stock has risen and he has 2 National Championships.  What will a 3rd one mean?  If he's going to be a 2nd or 3rd rounder ... which I wouldn't think so, then you stay.  1st rounder ... go.
 
Spikes coming back is also the wrong decision.  Good for us Gator fans, bad for him.  His stock has also risen and has nothing left to prove.  The defense will be fine without him. 9-10 returning starters, they'll find someone to play the position.  GO.
 
Tebow, who hasn't taken a single snap under center, hasn't even proved he has a 3 to 5 step drop.  He has a lot to prove still... and can be the Greatest College Football player ever.  Potential 2 Heismans and 3 National Championships ....
 
Tebow can turn Gatorade into Wine... why leave now?

We will know by 1/15 what Harvin and Spikes will do, as far as turning pro
 
You make some good points.The only reason that I think Spikes might comeback, is his dedication to tebow, as I have mentioned before.
 
Harvin's decision is much tougher, because of all his injuries.Will an NFL team draft him in the first round, because his health is a big question mark. Another factor is what if he comes back and suffers a career ending injurary.If he does come back a big insurance policy would be an excellent idea
 
I would say there is about a 60% chance Spikes comes back and about a 30% chance on Harvin. For the reasons you stated , the gators are well stocked at LB, but it would be hard to find someone with Harvin's unique ability
 
We will know shortly

Dapook   "TEBOW ISN'T EVEN THE BEST PLAYER ON HIS TEAM"
 
He won the HEISMAN last year as a soph, the first ever, and finished 3rd this year. He played a big role in the championship in 2006 as a freshman. What more do you want him to do.
 
I don't understand the negativity from some people on this site.
 
If you were a S Cal fan, and you heard Taylor Mays was coming back , wouldn't you be happy. If you don't like Florida fine, but why blast Tebow, or any player on any team.
 
We are on this site to win money and get ideas from knowledgable cappers. Not to blast people's blogs on players.
 
I'm originally from Philly and I know people from there who root for them to lose beacause they don't like Donovan McNabb, or Andy Reid.How stupid is that. I asked a Philly guy yesterday if he was happy they are winning, and he said NO. He's not happy because he hates McNabb and Reid. He would rather see his home team lose because he doesn't like the QB and coach
 
I see some Cappers with a 65% winning margin,they miss a few games and some people are all over them.If you are a bettor who losses all the time you should be thankful to  some of these cappers who share their picks with you.They don't have to.

COMPLETELY AGREE with everything you said. Makes no sense for Spikes or Harvin to come back. I just don't get the whole "Spikes looks up to Tebow" comment jordyn31. Thats quite shocking to me. And pretty lame if you ask me.

You see, there's a big difference between Mays decision and Tebow's decision. Mays was a lock for the 1st round, therefore, with him coming back, it was a total shock. I didn't think we had a shot of him returning. NOBODY was shocked that Tebow came back, unless you don't understand football. And again, thats why some of us are bashing his "NFL skills."  There's a reason why he's coming back. Because he just isn't good enough.

Good for him for making the right decision. He has a lot to work on. ALOT. It will be fun watching him and Hernandez go off next year.

If you have read some of my blogs you will see why I feel Spikes may come back because of Tebow
 
They met when they were both being recruited at Bama , when Mike Shula was coaching. Spikes had an instant connection with Tebow. and said , "Wherever Tebow goes, I will go" So when Tebow picked Florida, Spikes followed. That is the only reason I feel Spikes may come back. I am convinced if Tebow went pro, that Spikes would of also.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Florida and S Cal are pre-season #1 and #2

Love your Gator Maid Playboy centerfold Avatar
 
Word is Spikes is only projected to be a 2nd round pick, in a top heavy LB draft
 
I would say Spikes stays and Harvin who is projected to be a top 25 pick goes
 
We will know tomorrow

Dude ... didn't you know:

When the bogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks the closet for Tim Tebow.
The active ingredient in Red Bull is Tim Tebow's sweat.
Tim Tebow can get Chick-Fil-A on Sundays.
People with amnesia still remember Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow's family once threw him a surprise party. Once.
Tim Tebow hits blackjack with just one card.
The only reason you're still conscious is because Tim Tebow hasn't stiff-armed you in the face.
When TimTebow was a kid, he made his mom finish his vegetables.
Superman's only weakness is kryptonite. Tim Tebow laughs at Superman for even HAVING a weakness.
Tim Tebow sleeps with a night light. Not because Tim Tebow is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Tim Tebow.
Rome wasn’t built in a day because Tim Tebow wasn’t born yet.
When Tim Tebow eats, he doesn’t have to wait 30 minutes to swim.
Freddy Krueger is scared to sleep because he might meet Tim Tebow in his dream.
Tim Tebow’s number is 15 because that’s how many players it takes to tackle him.
A meteor didn’t kill the dinosaurs; Tim Tebow did in a pickup football game.
Referees created instant replay so they could admire Tim Tebow more than once.
The quickest way to a man's heart is with Tim Tebow's forearm.

Okay... LOL

Just as I suspected Spikes is coming back and Harvin is moving on to the NFL
 
With Spikes the backbone of the defense at MLB the Gators will return all 11 starters

I can see where non gator fans would be annoyed at all the attention Tebow gets, but look at all the trouble a lot of atheletes get into. The shootings, going to prison, all the self-destructive behavior.
 
The past week on Real sports they reported that 85% of NFL players carry guns, so maybe they gush over Tebow, but in this day and age I think he is a breathe of fresh air

I carry a gun.  Does that make me a bad person? 

The point is nobody wants to hear about all the good things somebody has done for the umpteenth time.  It gets old.  His efforts in the Phillipines are noble.  Having the douchebag taunt another player with John 3:16 on his face isn't exactly righteous.  You either walk the walk or you don't.  Tebow is somewhat of a facade.  Compare him to Pat Tillman.... no comparison.  Pat Tillman understood that being right doesn't have to be noticed and in fact he shunned the extra attention.  That is righteous.
