Tim Tebow: Great College QB or Greatest College QB?

When you think of the greatest college quarterbacks of all-time only a handful of players come to mind. Sammy Baugh, Davey O'Brien, Roger Staubach, and Doug Flutie are a couple of the candidates.

Then, we get into the more modern era of quarterbacks like Tommie Frazier, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, and Danny Wuerffel.

Any of these candidates could conceivably be the "greatest" quarterback of all-time, depending on who you ask about it. A Nebraska fan would say Frazier, USC fans would say Leinart, and Navy fans would say Staubach.

I'm here today to tell you all that there is another QB that can be added to this list, and he hasn't even finished his senior season. I'm talking, of course, about Tim Tebow, who has already won two national championships (1 as a starter) and a Heisman Trophy. What else could a coach, or a fanbase, ask for after just three seasons on campus.

For anyone to say that Tebow isn't the greatest college QB of all-time they would have to be either retarded, or very loyal to their alma mater or favorite team. (And remember people, I'm a Florida State Seminoles fan, so you know how much this is killing me!)

Naturally I came across just such a website run by a Nebraska Cornhuskers fan that said Tommie Frazier is the greatest, even though Tebow has better numbers across the board in three seasons than Frazier had in four.

Frazier(1992-95): 49% completion prcentage, 4,003 passing yards and 47 pass touchdowns to go along with 2,263 rushing yards and 36 rush touchdowns in four years.

Tebow:(2006-08): 65.8% completion percentage, 6,159 pass yards and 67 pass TD's to go along with 2,037 rush yards and 43 rush TD's in just three years so far.

For me it's not even close. Even if Tebow breaks his leg this summer and his college football career ends without his senior season, I still feel that he is the greatest college QB of all-time.

It's also important for everyone to remember that Tebow is playing in the toughest conference against the toughest players and he is still putting up insane numbers. I seriously doubt that Tommie Frazier would have put up half the stats the he accumulated if he had played in the SEC instead of the Big 12 where he rolled over inferior opponents and teams week in and week out. Tebow faces top notch competition every week in players that want to be the one that put him down, and they still can't stop him.

Tim Tebow is the greatest college quarterback, nay the greatest college player, in the greatest conference (SEC, in case you don't know). Therefore, Tim Tebow is the greatest college QB of all-time.

I have no qualms about making this statement and, as far as I'm concerned, Tebow's final season will put an end to any other talk of a quarterback better than he has been because Florida will win it all again this season. Mark it down today, August 31st, the Florida Gators will win their third national championship in four years under Tim Tebow.

Though I'm not a fan of his team, I am glad that I have gotten the privilege to watch the greatest of all-time go to work every week. He really is an inspiring figure. Kind of like Jesus, but way better at football.
