One thing that I have noticed is the dramatic increase in passes
being tipped or batted down at the line of scrimmage.
It seems that we average about 2 a day.
Brantley is about the same height as Tebow, and releases higher in
his throwing motion, so I am at a loss as to why we see so many.
Could the OL telegraphing run/pass with their stance have anything to
do with this?

There are a number of factors that may have contributed to Brantley's
ineffectiveness; bad coaching, forcing him to be an option
quarterback, injuries, getting blitzed on every down. But that
doesn't explain consistently throwing over receiver's heads. We also
could be expecting too much (for instance, Tebow did not have a 4th
quarter game winning drive until the 2008 SEC Championship Game).
That final part is why Brantley is and will remain the starting
quarterback. Florida can be patient with him and he still is the best
option as quarterback.
