I hate Florida fans with Tebow for heisman signs at all there games. When they lost to Aubie some of them were saying why did we not play Tebow more. Wake up, Leak is a good QB, stand behind him. You do the same thing with your coaches.

Nothing wrong with being excited about Tebow, but I agree that its absurd not to support Leak. He had a bad game (Auburn had something to do with that) but Florida is still in a great position and rather than get on him, folks need to be encouraging him.

As someone mentioned a while back, the most popular guy on teams in the SEC is the backup QB. Just glad the Vols didn't fall into that boat this year.

If you were Leak you have to feel like you not getting the support you deserve. Leak is still human, and you only have one loss. A great team that would benifit if the fans would give him more support.

You not to far off then. Live in Oviedo. I know how you feel about living amongst Gators. Some ok folks but outnumbered by the louder ones. No offense LG.

Tebow is going to be good. Do agree the fans need to wait a year before putting us those Heisman signs.

I don't really understand this whole hate leak thing for Florida. Granted, when he gets pressure on him up the middle he panics but overall he plays a pretty tight game. Tebow has proven that he can run and throw a geeked up double clutch BS pass into the endzone. The spread option will be stopped in the SEC. It will take some time to adjust to it, but it will be stopped. Let leak lose his starting postition but until then, Fl fans are only hurting thier cause by booing him. But being a Vol fan, boo him every play, it only helps my position.

Breaking that up a bit .....

Leak is a technician, he follows instruction, and he does not improvise well. Call it stoicism on his part, worrying more about process than result, whatever. The reason Tebow is so exciting is that he does "make" plays. He acts on instinct and his motivation and enthuisasm is much closer to the surface than Leak's.

Its a matter of style. Leak, over the long haul, is better and more productive. Tebow shows flashes of athleticism that translate into big plays and that's great, but it cannot be sustained. This is why Leak is actually so important to Tebow's development. Leak (and Meyer) have to calm Tebow down and get him to balance that force of shear reaction with executing a designed play.

If he succeeds in doing that, sky's the limit.

As to spread option being stopped, I think its too early to tell. With the speed and athleticism Florida will bring to the table next year, and the obvious threat of the QB keep, if it is done right it will be really remarkable. I know everyone says SEC defensive speed is too good. And that may be true, but objectively speaking the SEC offensive speed is also excellent (particularly Florida) and so we'll just have ot wait and see. I personally think it has a chance and that, in two years, with Havin and Tebow juniors, Florida may set all sorts of records for scoring and yardage.

I don't think that many Florida fans are booing Leak and those that do are quickly chastised in the stands. Its fun for media and opposing fans to talk about -- Florida beating up its own -- but it is not representative of the way the vast majority of us feel about the situation.

I think the fans were booing the coaches choice to play Leak not Leak himself.

Tebow still has not proved that he can pass the ball effectively. He's already in the running for college football's "Ugliest Touchdown Pass" award

Probably not as many Gators living in Tennessee as Vols living in Florida.

Most of the gator fans living in Tennessee are just old vanderbilt fans. First vandy fans switched to alabama, then UT went on a run and started beating bama on a regular basis, so now they switched to florida. I have seen this regularly in nashville with my own eyes.
