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

Guys, I don't walk around butt-hurt about it.

I just see it coming and I have nothing else to talk about. Mallett might leave this year, after one measly year in the SEC, and be the first or second QB taken in the draft.

Tebow meanwhile will be headed to NY as 1st Team All-SEC, while never standing a prayer of seeing the starting line-up of an NFL team as a QB.

The snub that's coming will go down as one of the bigger ones in SEC history. I don't need to wait 4 or 5 weeks, or years, to recognize it. I see it now. I'm bitching. Deal with it, or just don't click on the thread.

He'll be back...He wants to win the Heisman...He will have all the weapons to do it and the schedule...It's on him and our Defense now

You guys kill flaming today - you ladies are nuclear.

I never even had a small dislike for Arkansas at all 'til today. I now move you in front of Tennessee fans as the most retarded, ****y, dilusional, and pathetic fans in the Conference.

Congrats.

Take a long look at your pathetic overhyped Basketball program

If only Mallett wore Bible verses on his eyeblack patches! Or McFadden wasn't such a thug!

Tebow gets alot of love because of all the old white guys in the media who long for the days when blacks didn't dominate college football.

Just have him circumcise young Ozark boys and he's golden.

This might have steam if Mallett were black. Well, he is a w-igger, so I guess that is close enough

WooPig, you can't equate post season awards with who actually is the "best player" and should be named 1st team all SEC because there are just too many variables that go into what constitutes "1st Team”.

I'm as big of a Mallet Fan as there is (just look at my posts as early as last spring when I saw him first hand) but he shouldn't be named 1st team all SEC. That award should go to Tebow. That doesn't mean that if I were starting a football team from scratch that I wouldn't take Mallet over Tebow because I would but Tebow deserves to be 1st team all SEC this year.

Well, what exactly makes Tebow 1st Team in your eyes?

We can all agree it's not stats.

If it's off the field feel good stories, do we not honor those who are thugs like Spikes? What if you aren't morally upstanding? Since when do we hand out SEC honors on this?

If it's "leadership", isn't that a tad subjective? I know a whole team of men that call Mallett their leader.

If it's team records, does Eric Berry drop to 3rd team?

I'm going to wade into the quagmire...

Tim Tebow deserves to be first team all SEC. Mallet does have better stats, but this honor, as with almost every honor in colegiate football, is NOT solely based on objective facts. Never has been, never will be. Never should be, IMO.

Tebow is one of those rare players that can lift an entire team, almost every time he steps on the field..he simply elevates the play of the entire team. Maybe its as simple as some guys thinking "Tebow is on MY side. We've got this."

Whatever the reason, it is this totally subjective quality that causes the media to fawn over him, causes him to be in the running for awards that other might not be given the same stats.

Mallet does not have this quality. No other player in the SEC currently has it. Tebow does. Every team that plays the Gators is worrying about what Tim Tebow is going to do.

I promise you that LSU players, UGA players, etc., are/were more worried about Tebow than Mallet. Maybe their worries are misplaced if going solely on stats, but the fact is that Tim Tebow brings something to the game that almost no one else currently does. And people recognize it.

That is why he will win honors that Mallet will not.
