[gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] Whether to invite Tim Tebow to draft

2010-01-20 Thread Ken Kirkley
Many in the general public can't understand why the Heisman Trophy winner and three-time finalist may not be a top NFL pick, said ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay, who gets questions about it all the time. It has to do with Tebow's accuracy, how long it takes him to release the football, and the

I thought we played well, but were still undisciplined at times. This is a young team and hasn't learned how to play a full 40 minutes. I am concerned as the season goes on as to how fatigued they will be. I fear another February collapse. Having said that, this team is a lot more fun to

I for one am thrilled with Burton, he wants to be a Gator (unlike some of our other committed/not-committed players) and is an incredible ball player. I think Murphy is being recruited as an athlete. The Tebow version of the spread offense has scared away the elite, traditional drop back passers.

We will, he is a legacy so you know we will push hard. I'm not big on offering this early, let the kid play a little bit. He is obviously good, but is his OL all seniors this year or is he really that good? I believe he is really that good, but there is plenty of time for it all to play out.

Bad game all around. The refs were terrible, didn't cost us the game, but they were terribly inconsistent. The team wasn't ready for this game and that is unfortunate, this a win against Vandy and 2 in the tournament would've moved us up to a 7 seed in the tourney. Now we are probably looking
