You can make the argument that Tebow is the best SEC QB ever. Cam Newton might have been more dominant, but he only played one season in the SEC. Tebow played four, and was a dominant player in all of those years. He was the backup QB in 2006, but he still got a considerable number of snaps, and was a big reason why they won the title. In 2007, he won the Heisman and a loss to eventual nat'l champs LSU was likely the only reason why Florida didn't 3-peat. Then he led them to another title in 2008, and a loss to Bama in the SEC title game was the only thing keeping them from another title in 2009. He also won the Maxwell Award twice.
You guys didn't see much of Tebow since you were still in the Big 12 still at the time, but man, he was amazing. He went 3-1 against some really good LSU defenses and made us look silly. If not for Cam Newton, he'd be remembered as the best dual-threat QB in SEC history. Johnny Manziel was great too, but Tebow was a bit better, and a much better leader. His teammates would run through a brick wall for him. I thought he had a solid year in 2011 for Denver, and I don't know why he wasn't given more of a shot in the NFL, but I'm sure he's happy. It's really hard not to like Tebow. He's such a class guy.
