re: Tebow and his effect on JFF and the college game?

You mean Alex Smith, he was the first notable QB, then came the QBs from WVU/Oregon and the others running the similar systems.

Smith has made a career in the NFL as a starting QB, something neither in the OP will be able to achieve.

While I agree in a way, Tebow and UF are worth mentioning because they were really the first major football school to make the switch and turn it into a national championship winning offense. When Meyer brought the offense to Florida everyone said it was a gimmick and you couldn't win championships in the SEC with that offense.

And I think Cam is one of the greatest, but it is tough to compare Tebow and Cam. They run similar offenses in completely different ways and there is something to the fact that for 4 years every one knew what Tebow was all about and he was still incredibly successful and should have won multiple Heismans.
