re: Eric Berry shouldn't be 1st Team All-SEC

BTW, this isn't a knock on Mallet, he is good but it's pretty obvious you want to overlook a big part of Tebow's game.

But the "big part of his game" still does not compensate.

The Arkansas offense isn't hindered by Mallett not being a run threat. We score just as many points, more actually, than Florida and leads the SEC.

QB "A" has 50 TD's with 5 on the ground.

QB "B" has 40 TD's with 30 on the ground.

The fact that QB "B" can run in no way, shape, or form compensates for his inferior numbers.

I guess let's just stick purely to numbers and not any actual playmaking ability.

But that "playmaking ability" isn't translating into better numbers than one of his counterparts.

I know you're not trying to be a dick, and I'm not either.

But it sounds like Tebow could have 50 total yards on the year, with 1 TD, and he is automatically 1st Team All-SEC because at any moment he might start producing.

I don't buy into that. Why don't we just ignore on the field performance and hand out awards to those with the most potential? That's what we are doing with Tebow.

Let's put it this way.

Tim Tebow = undefeated

Ryan Mallet = not so much.

Tebow is also a better leader than Mallet

Ok. And Mallett wouldn't be undefeated with Florida? Come on.

And if you want to make that argument, then tell me why a Bama or Florida DB shouldn't receive 1st Team honors over Berry.

Is it easier for a QB to get 100 yards through the air or on the ground? Which is more effective at clock management? Runnign or Throwing?

No, bc/ when you watch him play in a short yardage situation, Tebow can run and throw. You have to respect that. Even when you play him run, he still manages to get that first down 9 out of 10 times.

Well speaking of performance, bad calls or not, Did Tebow lead his team down the field to beat Ark? When UF needs a score or first down, they usually get it and it's mainly b/c of Tebow.

Was thinking this exact same thing......

If stats = better, then why the hell is he in the CFL and Stafford is starting for an NFL team.

The same way YOU forgot to address what I did say, right?

Works both ways, Chief.


But if you want to say Tebow should earn it based on leadership, ok. Mallett is considered our team leader as well, for what that subjective shite is worth.

---

Show me where I neglected the stats, Sport.

If you actually take the time to read what I posted, I said he deserved it based of a mixture of great stats(which he DOES have), leadership(which he has more of), and off the field(Tebow = Saint, Mallett = DUI)

if you start bringing stuff like that in the equation, it only helps mallett's case.

i agree tebow will get it based on things other than stats and i won't gripe about it... but it WILL get talked about by the media. some have already been bringing it up. i actually somewhat wish everyone (media) would shut up and even wouldn't mind if mallett sucks it up a little the last few games (but still win).

Mallet couldn't hold Tebow's cape.

Mallet dreams of one day wearing Tim Tebow underwear.
