Tebow easily, but Stafford has a lot of potential.

Simply put, Stafford's stats are no more impressive than our own John Parker Wilson.

Wilson:
2006 - 2707 Passing Yards, 57.0% Completion Percentage, 17 TDs, 10 INTs, 126.51 QB Rating
2007 - 2846 Passing Yards, 55.2% Completion Percentage, 18 TDs, 12 INTs, 114.60 QB Rating

Stafford:
2006 - 1749 Passing Yards, 52.7% Completion Percentage, 07 TDs, 13 INTs, 108.99 QB Rating
2007 - 2523 Passing Yards, 55.7% Completion Percentage, 19 TDs, 10 INTs, 128.92 QB Rating

Even the most ardent Tide fan would suggest that Wilson is just an average college QB at best. Of course, stats don't tell the whole story. Stafford didn't have the November melt-down that Wilson had in 2007 where he practically lost three games for our team (LSU, the fumble that lead to the go-ahead TD; MSU, two INTs with one returned 102-yards for a TD; ULM, two INTs with one returned just short of the goal line). At one point in the ULM game, it had been over 8 quarters since a team scored our defense without Wilson's assistance. Earlier in the season, it was another Wilson fumble that ended the hope of a comeback against FSU. Of course, Stafford has had his own turnover problems but they seem to come at more opportune times (if there exist such a time) than Wilson's.

Sorry, no intention to make this Wilson-bashing thread, but it is worth pointing out how ridiculous comparing Stafford and Tebow really is for any commentator, columnist, etc. Tebow is the first 20-20 quarterback, he won the Heisman, and already has a MNC and SECCG title under his belt. Stafford is just an average QB on an excellent team (right now, at least).

staffords arm is far from average. hes got a good one. he was a totaly different player at the end of the season than he was at the beginning. and he isnt through getting better yet.tebows a good runner but beyond that gimme stafford.
 
Maybe one day Stafford will become what Tebow already was, but that's one day in the future. I believe we haven't seen the best Tebow can do yet. How can you not vote for Tebow? Just doesn't mske sense to do otherwise.
 
Tim Tebow is almost a junior and has a national championship ring and a Heisman trophy.

Stafford is most famous for getting drunk at Talladega.

This shouldn't even be a contest.
 
In college... Tebow, hands down. So I voted for him. Later though... I think they'll both fall off the radar. Stafford has more long term NFL potential but my gut tells me neither will make a big splash (i.e. Manning) in the pros.
 
I don't see how this is even debatable.

If you want to talk pro potential then maybe you can make an argument, but if you are building a college team, you want Tim Tebow taking the snaps.
 
I voted for MS because his team had the better overall year and it falls on the qb to lead his team. It's pretty ironic to hear "we don't win Heismans at Alabama, we win championships" Alabama fans using individual awards as a measuring stick of success. TT was a minor role player in the NC he has a claim to as well. Stafford's performed better as the season progressed while Tim-may Torpedoe's performance declined as the season wore on. In short I would say Stafford is the better player simply because his team has performed better with him at the helm. Quarterbacks are always judged on wins and loses, just ask Jay Barker and John Parker Wilson. .
 
Stafford is the better QB, but Tebow is the better all around athlete. Tebow is more involved in the offense and UF relies on him more than Stafford if that is possible at the QB position.

Tebow was far more than "a minor role player" in the Gators NC. In lieu of a decent running game, it fell on TT's shoulders to pick up crucial 1st downs to keep drives alive all through the season and he constantly came through despite the defense laying for him.
 
It must be close to summertime. :biggrin2:

Gotta give it to Tebow, right now. Frankly, I don't see Stafford getting ahead of Tebow unless Pope Meyer makes him run quarterback draws 50 times a game.

don't forget.....Tebow 'dissed' BAMA by signing with florida; for some people you could have asked 'Henig vs. Tebow' and they would've found some reason to justify Henig.
