And Cam Newton "led" that talent-deficient Auburn squad to an undefeated season, something Tebow's "leadership" was never able to accomplish a single time with talent in droves residing in Gainesville.

LOL....did all that talent leave with Tebow? How did they go from 13-1 to 8-5 with Urban Meyer still at the helm and then 7-6? Other than Harvin, what skill player from Tebow's tenure is still playing in the NFL? UF's leading ball carrier (Kestahn Moore) in Tebow's Heisman season had 580 yards rushing while Cam had Dyer (1,093) and McCalebb (810). If being the QB of an undefeated team defines "the best" then Bob Griese is the greatest NFL QB that ever lived.

I think ability to repeat the one magical year puts Tim over the top, think about it since Tim left we've had what 4 guys comeback post Heisman and only Tim had anywhere near a repeat year much less 2 (2008 was arguably the most efficient year any SEC Qb has ever had).

I like how you tried to casually play that off. Name one skill player on Auburn's team that was even close to Harvin.

Riley Cooper? Louis Murphy? Deonte Thompson (not playing, but he's on a team)? Andre Caldwell?

What skill players from the 2010 Auburn team are playing in the NFL? McCallebb is a corner in the NFL and wasn't even drafted.

I guess you want to ignore the skill players that got drafted from his tenure too, huh?

L. Murphy - 4th
Chris Rainey - 5th
A. Hernandez - 4th
R. Cooper - 5th
M. Gillislee - 5th
A. Caldwell - 3rd
C. Ingram - 5th

Now go ahead and name all those talented skill players from Auburn's 2010 team that were drafted.
