Tebow leaning towards staying

Having helped his chances to win a second Heisman Trophy during Florida's SEC championship game victory, Tim Tebow is giving indications he'll quarterback the Gators one more year rather than enter the NFL draft.

"I’m not even thinking (about the NFL) right now,” Tebow told reporters yesterday after it was made official that Florida will meet Oklahoma in the BCS championship.

Tebow said he ultimately will decide after the BCS game, but added that, "But if I had to say I was leaning any way, it would be to coming back.”

Tebow also indicated to the Gainesville Sun that he hasn't sent in the paperwork that initiates the process of having the NFL tell him what his status likely would be in the draft.

McCoy said the same... looks like there will be some familiar QBs in the NCAA next season

[Bling]

Yeah ok. I'll believe when it's official. But this sucks.

[gr8slayer]

No surprise to anyone who follows college football.

[LtFinFan66]

Tebow is a good kid all around

Much like McCoy he is a guy who cares about family and fun rather than money and the national spotlight. He might not be much of an NFL QB but I'll gladly cheer for him once he does get drafted.

Good, he may go down as the most overrated prospect ever, I think hes going to be a horrible NFL QB.

[Smendy]

Over the last 15 to 20 years, or so, the vast majority of the top quarterbacks in the NFL played college ball until they were seniors. Just look at the current stats. For this reason, I can't blame Tebow and McCoy. Tebow will have a huge adjustment once he gets to the NFL and has to give up the spread offense and needs to go directly behind center.

Most of the top juniors to leave early were busts or very average. Two best, currently, are Big Ben (who was in college for 4 years, but redshirted) and Aaron Rodgers (who got to sit 3 full yrs. behind Favre)....Vick was okay, so was Bledsoe, until he got injured and Brady replaced him. But, again, a lot of busts or players that look like they could be busts -- Leaf, Vince Young, Alex Smith, Jamarcus, Tim Couch, ect....

Tebow and McCoy are going to be 2 very good QB's in the NFL, I'm impressed with Tebow's athleticism (reminds me of a Big Ben) and I'm impressed with McCoy's leadership, smarts and maturity.

[yordad]

Does anyone want to venture a guess where they would be drafted if they came out?

[DraftBoy]

Whose they??

[yordad]

Whose they??Tebow and McCoy

[gr8slayer]

Tebow and McCoy
No earlier than round two, I'd venture to say that McCoy may have been taken in the mid-late second round and as late as the third. Tebow on the other hand may not have gone until 4 or later, he is looked upon by many in the scouting world as a project that would take a few years to blossom and may even be a candidate for a position change once in the NFL, maybe a TE, maybe a WR, something in that area.

Tebow and McCoy

McCoy Rd 2-3, Tebow 3-4

Tebow is probably best suited to be a FB in the NFL. He won't do that though. He'll try the NFL out, struggle and eventually retire and do missionary work.

6'4 FB? I don't know about that. From what I'm hearing teams are willing to give him a chance to be a QB but he's going to have to learn another position as well if he plans on staying on a team because most feel his "natural" position would be TE. He no doubt has the size and the ball skills, but thankfully we won't have to find out for another year, he's doing what every player should do and is returning for his senior year, as is McCoy :up:

Or go back to gainesville and live like a king there. Either way he wins.

Eve been to Gainesville? It's nothing to rule over.

Smells a lot better than Tallahassee and the women are twice a stupid and thus twice as likely to bang. I'd stay too if I were banging chicks like this:

There is not much to rule over here in Columbus but Craig Krenzal seems to live a pretty good life being a spokesperson for various car dealer ships. Signing autographs at various places and continues to go to med school at OSU.

Point is Bling he will be treated like a king in gaysville no matter what happens to him in the NFL. If he bombs in the NFL nobody will care because of what he did during his college career.

What are you smoking?????
I am probably the biggest TEBOW fan on this site and I know he has alot of work to do before he enters the draft.......If he came out just because of leadership, and athleticism, he would be a top 10 pick....McCoy probably late 1st round......

You're out of your mind. Tebow is not first round material, much less top ten.

[tampabay25690]

I have been to both.
Nothing to write home about at all....
Women are hot in both places but the SWAMP is a much more exciting place to see a game then at FSU.......

[tampabay25690]

I dont see him coming out anyway if he did come out you know as much as everyone he would be a 1st round pick....

[gr8slayer]

I really hope that you are just being sarcastic about him being a first round pick. He's not even going to play QB in the NFL.

I know he has work to do and so does he...
He will play QB in the NFL

Neither compares to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando. Even Tampa. But there's no argument that Tallahassee is better than Gainesville. Gainesville looks like crap.

As for the swamp being more exciting, I can't argue that. Somehow though, I think you're a little bias. Just a tad.

That's not what the scouts are saying :up:

I've been to both, the Swamp is far superior as far as football environments go.

YOU are going by CITY that is fun...
yea MIAMI, TAMPA, FT LAUDERDALE are much more fun.
There isn't sh** to do in GAINESVILLE, or TALLY.......
Not being bias at all the swamp is much more fun for a game....

[tampabay25690]

That's not what the scouts are saying :up:

Yea I agree......
He has work like I said.
You KNOW a team will take a chance on him early...You have to admit it.....
Look at MATT JONES went in the 1st round and he was a fair prospect.......Tebow is a much better prospect..........
SCOUTS are just looking at mechanics....

Tebow is not a much better prospect as a QB and will have to make the same position switch. Problem is that Tebow doesn't possess the same top end speed that Jones did coming out of Arkansas.

agreed...
We will see next year because I don't see him coming out this year he is having to much fun at Florida.....Actaully if he does come back... FL will be better then they are this year.......

[gr8slayer]

He's already said that he's returning for his senior year, as is McCoy. Both of them need it if they plan on going before the third round. Because as it stands neither is much of a serious prospect, though McCoy is far more prepared as a QB.

I thought Tebow said he would make his decision after the NC game and that win or loose it would have no effect on his decision. Or did he go ahead and make up his mind already?

No matter get ready for Jordan Jefferson from LSU he is going to be a tough QB.

[Bling]

Far superior? Once again, I got to say: I doubt you've been to both. Either that, or well, you're a closet Gator fan. All rankings have Ben Hill Griffin ahead, but Doak Campbell closely trailing behind. I've been inside of Ben Hill Griffin, and I will admit it seems to have a big atmosphere. I won't deny it probably gets loud in the Swamp, and I won't argue that Doak Campbell is better. I will say though that the two of you need a reality check for even implying that the Swamp is in a whole different league.

I find it unlikely that you've ever been to a game at the Swamp or you wouldn't be saying that.

I already said I haven't.


So which FSU game did you go to? Which UF game did you go to? What year and stuff?

FSU was in 2004. I want to say it was against UNC.

Florida was in 2002 vs. Miami (FL) and Miami beat the ever living dog **** out of them.

Have lot's of friends in Florida. I'm hoping to go back sometime in the near future, I'd like to go see a game @ Miami University this time though. I figure I'll go see one when I go to Miami to see the Dolphins play.

[tat2dmike77]

Each stadium is unique in it's own way on gameday. Give me Tiger Stadium on a saturday night anytime though :up:

LOL @ 2004 against UNC. UNC sucked, and we were mediocre in 2004.

I remember that game. That was the one where Frank Gore got hurt, right? UF sucked back then. Amazing what recruiting and a great coach can do.

University of Miami, but yeah. You missed out on the Orange Bowl. Dolphins stadium has no presence to it at all.

I honestly don't recall who FSU played. I just remember it wasn't anything to get excited about. I'll have to look around for my ticket stub.

And I believe it was Portis that got hurt, and McGahee took over for him. I honestly don't remember the specifics, I've seen far too many games since then to remember every detail.

I agree with you 100%% in this one..

[X-Era]

I think he just may be even worse in the NFL than Wuerffel, Palmer, and Doug Johnson

[Mike13]

He wont do **** in the pros, anyone can see that.



Yeah ok. I'll believe when it's official. But this sucks.


For you, and Meyer's an excellent recruit who knows what QB he'll bring in to keep up the FSU ass whipings.
