a system quarterback. he has spurrier to thank for those damn gaudy passing yards and records. wuerffel was the best quarterback spurrier ever had that could play the way spurrier wanted a qb to play. tebow on the other hand isn’t what I consider a system quarterback…. though meyer’s run/pass option is well suited for tebows talents. I think tebow could have won a NC at damn near any FBS college he chose to play at. wuerffel I don’t think could have done that except at florida under spurrier.

maybe I’m way out in left field for thinking this way. I’m not drinking any kool-aid, but wuerffel wasn’t half the athlete as tim. at least no one can disagree, without having brain damage, that florida has had two of the greatest quarterback that have ever played the game.

…is a good post…nothing against Tebow (not after last night), but I did admire the way Wuerffel handled himself (though I despised his HC and team for stopping us short three times). To be fair, I do think that yesterday’s humiliation helped Tebow act more like Wuerffel, with true humility rather than what we’ve grown accustomed to over the last few years. I also think that Tebow is the best…fullback…in Florida history.

…but Greg McElroy is still undefeated as a starter…that is all….

another winner from Ft. Walton Beach FL.

…who is considered FL’s greatest QB? What does that have to do with us going to Pasedena? Jeez, I thought talking about Tebow was finally OVER after last night.

threw a prettier corner-fade than Danny Wuerfel.

just because the entire ESPN staff has a man crush on Tebow doesn’t mean he isn’t one of the greatest to play the college game. His Heisman season is the best single season I have ever seen in my life by a single player, ever. Call him a system QB, it’s true. Say he won’t succede in the NFL, he probably won’t. But don’t take away who he is and what he has done. We’re lucky to have seen him play, and very lucky to have seen the greatest Bama team in the past 15 years send him packing with such a lopsided loss.

…on the ‘06 team, but to insinuate he didn’t significantly contribute to that team is inaccurate. He’s got 2 NCs, 2 SECs and a Heisman. He didn’t get those ’06 rings for being on the roster. He had 18 carries, a pass and a TD in those two games. Not too shabby.

Run for an SEC record in TDs while also having a stellar passing efficiency? I think he only did the latter, and he didn’t do it quite as well as Tim Tebow. Danny had a 163.56 QB Rating through his 4 starts; Tim Tebow has 166.25 to date. Tim Tebow also has 678 career rushing attempts, 2896 yards, and 56 touchdowns.

Chris Weinke from FSU should also be in the mix. 3 division titles. 32-3 as a starter and he played in 3 National Championships winning one and also won the Heisman. Probably would have won 2 titles if not for a season ending injury in 98’.
