[Smokin Gator]

Great news for the Gator Nation... Tebow is returning for his senior year.

Our schedule next year is pretty favorable. It is rumored that Harvin and Spikes are returning as well!!!

he'd be a fool not to

he's a great college QB, he doesn't project well as an NFL QB

I'm glad as a Texas fan though, I can't wait to see him and Colt duke it out next january

[elderboy02]

I think Tebow realized he won't be a good NFL QB. I think he has potential at another position though.

He is a hell of a college player though.

[floydpink]

I'm glad for UF but kinda surpised in a greedy way.

What happens if he gets hurt next year?

If he goes top pick in 2 years, wouldn't that make him a Detroit Lion for 5 years or so?

Not surprised too much because it's Tebow and he's a leader who doesn't seem to think with dollar signs

Make no mistake about it, Tim Tebow will NOT be the #1 pick in any draft. He won't be a lottery pick, or even a first day pick. Tim is a great college player, he is an option QB, he won a Heisman Trophy and now has a BCS Trophy. The future of Heisman Trophy winners who were option QB's is bleak, see: Danny Wuerfel, Eric Crouch, Jason White, Charlie Ward. The only advantage he would have had by coming out this season would have been the rookie signing bonus cap that will likely be in place before the 2010 NFL Draft, but even that will effect the top 64 picks more than the bottom 212. :tu

[DrDubzz]

Wuerffel and White were option QBs??

[chippewastud79]

Wuerffel and White were option QBs??

I suppose you are right, just trying to make the point that Tim Tebow is on the same level as those guys. A great college player that will likely not translate into a NFL QB. :tu

[Smokin Gator]

Tebow may not ever be a NFL QB... but he is a heck of a college QB and may well end up being one of the best college players ever.

[Starchild]

I'm ecstatic to have Tebow another year :tu

I figured he'd stay but it's nice to hear it.

[silentjon]

Another year for all of your Tebow man-crushes.

[themoneycollector]

I think it shows great heart that he stayed. Although if he has a future career in the NFL, this will only delay his growth.

[TripleF]

Already looking forward to next year!!!

[DavenportESQ]

I think Tebow will have a great next season and be a for sure 1st day pick barring any injuries. Everyone forgets that the offense UF runs isn't Tebows choice. Meyer has a specific offense and Tebow fits into his system perfectly. So why would he try to throw the ball more if what they are doing now is working?

Why I think Tebow is better than Bradford? If you took Tebow and put him in the Oklahoma offense would they be successful? Absolutely. Could you put Bradford in the UF system and have the same sucess...doubtful. Tebow is a gamer, a fierce competitor and a heck of an athlete. He has things that none of the other QBS mentioned have and thats intangibles. I don;t think Tebow is a great passer by any means. but that doesn't mean he cannot be one. They just haven't asked him to throw the ball 50 times a game. If they did and he were successful people would just say he is a "product of the system"(aka Graham Harrell) While I think the offense will stay option based I would look for more passing development in the off season.

Overall I think regardless of how next season goes he will have a great career in the NFL, as long as he is drafted by the right team. If he goes to a place like the Lions and has to carry the team and make a million plays a game and doesn't have a good coach to develop him, he will last 3 yrs at the most. But if he goes to a team where he can learn the system, become a better passer and not have to worry about starting his first year or two out, he could be one of the best QBs ever...Plus who said he has to play QB in the NFL??? With the emergence of formations like "the wildcat" or the use of a h back, or TE these are all roles he could fill a void for. Tebow is a fierce competitor. Its every athletes dream to be able to make a statement like he did, and be able to follow through with it. I think the more people keep telling him he cant do this, or can't do that is going to fuel his desire to prove everyone wrong

Florida @ Miami - not until 09/07/13.

[Starchild]

From what I've read, it sounds like Tebow will use the next year to work on his passing technique and mechanics to help make himself more marketable as a NFL QB. He has already come a long way from where he started and I have no doubt that once he puts his mind to it, he will get the job done.

I wonder how him staying will affect the Harvin and Spikes decisions :rolleyes:

Yes. The absolute worst thing about watching a Florida game.

Who's coaching that team, Meyer or Tebow? As long as Urbie has Tebow there expect to see more of the same.

All I meant was that he would be working in the off season on refining his throwing motion and improving his release. Not modifying the team game plan to showcase himself for the NFL :rolleyes:

I actually meant "your team" as a generic term, not slamming the Hurricanes.

Too easy a target. ;) :r

Miami played them tough. I wish they played next year, even with the almighty Tebow coming back. Miami still has more national championships.

Canadiens have more Stanley Cups than the Red Wings, Pittsburgh has more Super Bowl rings than the Giants, etc... but no one cares who won last year...it is all about this year and next in the sports world. ;)

[SeanGAR]

The difference between Tebow and Bradford on the sidelines was remarkable. One is a leader and one isn't. But I don't see Tebow being a successful pro QB ... tight end maybe if he has good hands.

[theycallmedan'lboone]

As much as I despise florida (thanks spurrier) I have absolutely nothing but respect for the young man that is Tim Tebow. I think first off he is a class act and he is using his "fame" as a platform to show his beliefs.(if you didn't see his eye blacks you weren't watching the game) Will Tim Tebow be a Peyton or a Marino or a Werffull or a Chris Todd in the NFL? (if you don't know who Todd is.. exactly, if you do, you understand) I think Tim Tebow will be a solid NFL QB. Maybe not a destined to be a HOFer but certainly a good QB. Time will tell. But for now, I must return to praying for God to shower blessings upon Auburn... lord knows they need some help.

Yep, I know what you were trying to say. But Urban isn't going to change his offense with Tebow running the show. It works, why change it? Unfortunately what makes Tebow a great college QB will be his detriment in the NFL. Although I think he would rather be circumsing Filippino boys than playing in the NFL anyway?;)

Sorry, I can't spell.

More criminals too right? ;)

But which one has the most gold grillz?

That is the more important question. And may in fact answer the original question.:ss

[jamesb3]

Oh joy, my heart is leaping. Not. I hate the Gators and the only reason Tebow is coming back is because he knows he is not an NFL QB.

If you knew anything about this kid, James, you would know that isn't true at all. I love ya, Man, but you are waay off base of this one. :2
