Never been a huge "SEC first" guy.

My hatred of UT far exceeds my love of conference, so this result is making me quite happy.

Well, as happy as someone can be while listening to a neverending stream of horrible news coming out of his own program. The latest? Vance Bedford, the awesome DB coach at UF, is supposedly taking a job at Louisville. Strong had been pushing him since his own hire. A day before the Sugar Bowl, Charlie? What a dirty move. Of course no one will say anything, or notice, after the disaster the past month has been. Elam to FSU? Whatever. Half the coaches leaving? Sure. No one really knows who the head coach is? It’s all good! One half the head coaching monster is incompetent, the other ill. Great news!

I doubt any recruits read this website, so I feel comfortable saying this: you’d be insane to commit to UF right now. Utterly bonkers. This is a meltdown.

The UF boards and blogs are hilarious right now. The only images I get in my mind are Kevin Bacon in “Animal House”…“All is well!” and Baghdad Bob. Just blatant denial of the obvious. Thank God I love soccer. What do you football-only types do for the rest of the year?

This PSU-LSU game is ugly...

Daryl Clark is playing like crap but is getting away with it because LSU DBs can’t catch the ball.

He has made some impressive throws

His arm motion is still too slow, but he has stayed in the pocket nice. And found the open reciever, rather 1 or 2 reads and then panic.

Sure this is Cinci, but the throws are still accurate.

A competent quarterbacks coach can get things worked out in a year or two. The trick is that not all teams have competent position coaches. The dirty little secret of the NFL is that there is plenty of crappy coaching out there, and it can kill guys’ careers almost before they even start (David Carr being a classic example).

I def agree with you

BUTTT… Who in the heck taught Tebow to throw the ball like that. Isnt it common football knowledge to keep the ball up toward your shoulder and thow with one motion not a wind up. Maybe since he was 5 his hands were so huge he could palm it and got used to chucking it.

"I meant to misspell that word, just observing who would correct me."

Likely, no one

It’s overwhelmingly likely that all of Tebow’s quarterbacks coaches up ’til now essentially were ordered not to mess him up, as Scot Loeffler was before this season.

It’s also debatable just how much of a quarterbacks coach Dan Mullen really was. Remember Tebow’s and Brantley’s quotes from preseason camp about how they were using their legs to throw for the first time? I know that 12 year old Little League pitchers get taught that; I have no doubt that young quarterbacks get that too.

Mullen was a a great OC and seems to be a pretty good head coach, but his quarterbacks coach prowess is definitely in doubt. Leak definitely regressed under his watch too, but who knows how much that had to do with him being a poor fit for the offense.

I didnt think of it like that, not wanting to mess him up… but I was really talking about pop werner, or even before then. Maybe it was just me but the first thing my father taught me about football was how to throw the ball. I am sure any NFL scout would rip my fathers lesson to threads, but it seems like Tebow didnt even get a lesson at all, ever.

There’s not a lot of great coaches in those levels. They probably get intimidated to a degree by the obvious talents like Tebow and don’t try to fix what doesn’t appear broken (by that level’s standards, of course).

I still don't know how high he'll be drafted

It’s not that I disagree with you that a good position coach could “fix” Tebow’s delivery; I think he likely could. It’s just that NFL GMs are risk-averse folks who don’t like to do things that aren’t the “norm” for the league. It’s not Tebow that I don’t have any respect for; it’s them.

Gruden has talked a lot about Tebow as a potential wildcat guy, I think – unlike White he has the beef to function as a real running back (in the ’"we’d call him a fullback if you didn’t carry the ball so much" mode).
