Tebow wants to prove them wrong again.

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Tim Tebow is getting set to show off his skills as a quarterback in next weeks Senior Bowl in Mobile Alabama. Tebow is more than determined to show the scouts and any Pro personnel that he has the tolls and attitude to be a Pro quarterback. This is not the first time that people have doubted him…

Tebow has been told all his football career that he does not have what it takes to be a quarterback. It started in high school, college and now the majority of Pro people in the know think that he would be better suited as a tight end or H-back. He has also been motivated by proving people wrong, I think it has worked out for him so far.

Tebow has two NCAA championships as well as the 2007 Heisman trophy to back up his quarterback play.What you can’t measure is the heart that he plays with. His intensity and wanting to win at all costs is somethoing special in him. He is a true leader on the field ,and his teammates respond to him. The quarterback is the leader of the football team, that is Tim Tebow. I love the way he plays and would love nothing more to see him behind center someday in the NFL.

Tebow’s last college game could of not been better played as a quarterback. In the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day, Tebow lead his Florida Gators to a lopsided 51-24 over Cincinnati. His stats were ever more impressive than the win. He went a incredible 31-35 for 482 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for another 51 yards and another touchown. He played nearly perfect football. This is a indication of his determination and skills to play quarterback at the next level. He is truly a unique athlete.

Scouts will say that Tebow is too lanky at 6-3 and 245. He has played the majority of snaps out of the shotgun formation and does short of throw side armed. He does have a tendacy to maybe hang on the ball at times. These are some of the things that have the Scouts doubt his play as a quarterbck in the Pros.Doubt is what he thrives on. The scouts need to have the confidence that Tebow can make the adjustments at the pro level. I think he has the intellect and drive to someday be a pro starting quarterback. I think he will need a little tool-age and seasoning in order for this to happen. Don’t bet against Tim Terrific.

Tim Tebow will be fired up to prove them wrong again.

Will Tebow’s Finale Be Sweet As Sugar?

Friday, January 1st, 2010

One of the greatest players in college football history will write his final chapter this evening as Tim Tebow closes out his career with the Florida Gators.  Given the press coverage of the game, you wouldn’t know it.   The headlines of the game have focused on issues regarding each team’s respective head coach rather than Tebow getting his fourth consecutive bowl victory.

Tebow Closes Out Historic Career

Tebow Closes Out Historic Career

Tebow’s departure will leave a gaping hole on a team where the talent level has clearly declined over the course of the last four years.  That talent deficit was hidden by Tebow’s leadership, but was exposed as the Gators were hammered by Alabama 32-13 in the SEC Championship.  That defeat and Tebow’s departure will likely accelerate the decision of Florida’s top underclassmen to declare early for the NFL Draft.

That’s enough to give Urban Meyer another anxiety attack.

But the focus tonight should be a celebration of what Tim Tebow has meant to college football.  The fire is his eyes, his pure athleticism, his determination to win.  These are all things we will miss after the final gun sounds tonight.  Just take a look at some of Tebow’s accomplishments:

  • Heisman Trophy Winner
  • 3x finalist for Heisman Trophy
  • Two NCAA Championships
  • Three SEC Championships
  • 2x Maxwell Award Winner
  • NCAA First Team All-American
  • NCAA Academic All-American
  • 1st Player in NCAA history to score 20 Rushing TDs and throw 20 passing TDs in a season.
  • SEC record for Total Offense in a season
  • SEC record for Most Touchdowns, Career
  • SEC record for Most Touchdowns, Season
  • SEC record for Most Touchdowns, Game
  • SEC record for Most Rushing Touchdowns, Career
  • SEC record for Most Rushing Touchdowns, Season
  • SEC record for Passing Efficiency, Career
  • SEC record for Lowest Interception Rate, Career

The list can go on much longer, but lets leave it here.

NFL scouts say that Tim Tebow has no future at the next level.  That his intangibles don’t make up for his lack of pocket passing skills.  That he is a product of a system that has a proven failure in Alex Smith. That his arm motion doesn’t translate.  Or that his arm strength and accuracy just don’t measure up.

Pish Posh!

The Sugar Bowl serves as his final national television to silence the doubters with a masterful performance.  Expect Tebow to show up big and send notice to the NFL scouts that his intelligence, internal drive and ability to win make a future star at the professional level.

Tebow is a special player for the ages.  Let hope we get to enjoy him for many years to come in the NFL.

College Bowl season kicks off Saturday

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

The College football bowl season kicks off Saturday with Fresno  St. taking on Wyoming in the New Mexico Bowl and Rutgers taking on Central Florida in the St Petersburg Bowl and ends with the BCS National Championship game  between Texas and Alabama January 7. In between there are some intriguing match ups of teams and last games of individuals.

Can Mark Ingram end the bowl seson with a title?

Can Mark Ingram end the bowl seson with a title?

While I am in favor of a College playoff system, I do appreciate the Bowl season because of how much I love college football. The teams always give their best effort, and there has been so many memorable  games because of this.

One of the most intriguing match up of teams is in the Fiesta Bowl January 4 as it pits two unbeaten teams in Boise St. and TCU. I am glad the bowl committee went this way as it has two teams that are not among the elite facing each other and one stays unbeaten. These two teams could of easily been playing Alabama for the National Championship if they had a playoff.  I think TCU would  give Bama all they could handle in particular.

The greatest college football player ever will be playing his last game. Tim Tebow and his Florida Gators will be taking on Cincinnati January 1st in the Sugar Bowl. This  your last chance to see the Great Gator quarterback ,and I am sure he will go out with a show to remember. Don’t miss it. How will Cincinnati play with the adversity of their head coach Brian Kelly deserting them and their unbeaten season is a great underlining story.

Bobby Bowden will be coaching his last college game for Florida St. on January 1st in the Gator Bowl against West Virginia. Can he go out a winner? It will be weird not to se him on the sidelines for the Seminoles.

As you can see, the Bowl season has a lot of  interesting and intriguing match ups that will keep you tuned in from start to finish. It cumulates with the great match up for the title between Texas and Alabama.  Let the Bowl Season Begin!

Can anyone lasso the Gators

Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators Cannot Be Tamed

Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators Cannot Be Tamed

The college football season is winding down and the only question on my mind is; Can anyone take down the mighty Gators. My answer is No. Florida is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of any of the teams that pose a threat to them repeating as National Champions.  Florida has the most and deepest  talent among any team. Add the best college football player of all-time in Tim Tebow, and you have a unstoppable machine. Oh yes, they have a pretty good head coach in Urban Meyer.

Florida will begin their march for this national championship in the SEC championship game on DEC 5 against second rated Alabama. This is a good test before the championship game ,but it will be the combination of  talent and Tebow that will carry the Gators to victory. When they defeat Bama, they will probably either face Texas, TCU or Cincinnati for the title. Those teams are good but not good enough to lasso a victory from the Gators. I think TCU would give them the best game.

Tim Tebow is one of my favorite College Football players of All-Time. I love his intensity and his drive to win is second to none. Like me, he justs hates to lose.  He has the heart of a champion. This is infectious to his teammates and  gets the most out of them because of it. Florida, Tebow, and Meyer will go out unbeaten and add another Championship trophy to the mantle. I  consider it a privilege to be able tow watch a player like Tim Tebow perform over the years, you will never see another player like him. Don’t miss his last two games.
