Tebow is, no doubt, an above average QB and appears to be more hard-nosed in his approach to the position. If having to choose a QB, it would have to be Stafford based upon his throwing ability and the way he appears to be running the offense. Both are surrounded by great backs and receivers, but if Stafford had Bama’s line, there would be no end to the stats he could put up or the stats the offense could put up. No dog fan, but I have to give him the props. Stafford is that good.

I think both quarterbacks are going to shine in this game, but I have to give Stafford the nod based on his arm strength and his ability to read defenses and call the right audible. Does anyone know how many times he did that in the LSU game? GO DOGGIES!

Also - as far as projecting to the NFL, it’s Stafford by a long shot. Tebow will get some chances, but professionally, he’d be better off switching to linebacker. Dinks and dunks and running up the middle against NFL d-linemen is not going to get him a fat paycheck.

Have to admit I am no expert. Alabama’s most productive runner last year is not even on the field this year. He is no Moreno, but runs tricky routes like Moreno does. He lost favor in the eye of Saban, which says to me, tricky runner like Moreno won’t be productive in the NFL. Bush was touted as one of hundred year player, but he is not the lightning rod of the Saints, Brees is.

Just my 2cents. Like to hear from you experts.

The Dawgs have to execute more than the Gayturds. Our D needs to show different formations to confuse Teblow. Eliminate the big gainers and come up with a few turnovers and Stafford should pick-a-part there secondary.

I think you’re analogy of “apples and oranges” is correct. Neither would be as good in the other’s system. Could you imagine Stafford running the triple option? Heck no…..Nor could you imagine Teabow dropping back and needing to zip 30 yard out patterns. So…I’d take Stafford in a drop-back offense and Tebow in a option/running system.

As for NFL…I can count ZERO QB’s that run first, throw second. Not in a league where the slowest D-lineman runs a 4.5 forty. So, if they went now, I give the nod to Stafford. Could Tebow learn to be drop-back? Maybe…but “maybe” doesn’t get drafted very high.

Let us flash forward to 2011 and see who is starting in the NFL and what they look like then. Right now both are perfect for the offensive schemes they run. The NFL will be a wee bit differenct for the lisping lizard. Meanwhile, John Elway, err…Matt Stafford will be racking up yards by that time.

They don’t run the spread in the NFL. Little James Jackson of the mid 80’s could put up 250 yards per game given the yards after the catch that offense is designed to produce.

I don’t see QB’s and Offensive Lines standing up looking to the sideline for audibles either

Tim Tebow is not even in the same league with Matthew Stafford. Staff can make all the throws that any NFL QB can make. Can you say the same for Tebow? Matt can walk to the line, check his reads and more often than not audible to a play that works against the defense alignment he sees. In my opinion, Matthew Stafford is the best QB in the country. Regardless of what these gunslingers in the Big 12 are doing. You put those guys playing speedy SEC defenses every week and I promise you, their stats are no better than Matt’s. Every single SEC defense is ranked in the top 65 in the Nation, Texas is the highest ranked Big 12 team in the nation at 46 (correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s close). That should tell you something there. SEC defense has the speed to pressure QB’s on quick passes, and the speed in the backfield to force the QB to pull it down…. Boom, sack of force a bad throw.

Do you know that the Dawgs (with Stafford) have won 9 straight games that were a one possession game in the 4th quarter? That says a lot about a QB.

Do you know that Tebow is only 2-5 in the last 7 games using that criteria? (and both of those were not really close games at the end in Miami and KY last year).

Tebow’s ONLY close wins were Ole Miss and KY last year and in the Ole Miss game UF had several chances to put the game away on offense and couldn’t, leaving a TERRIBLE (at the time) Ole Miss team the chance to actually come back and win at the end.

Bottom line, UF better blow out the Dawgs, because Tebow loses every close game he plays against pretty good teams, LSU 07, AU 07, UGA 07, MICH 07, Ole Miss 08.

Stafford is much better and we will have the chance to see it for the next 10-15 years on Sundays. Tebow will be long forgotten by all by Gator die-hards.

Gators miss Chris Leak way more than they will admit. That guy WON almost every close game for them. He was a clutch player. But, maybe it’s not fair to hold a fullback with a pretty good arm to the same standards as true quarterbacks like Leak and Stafford.

I agree with many of the comments already made on this blog. If you run a spread offense, you’d want Tebow. If you run a pro-style offense, you’d want Stafford. Does anyone seriously question that Stafford will be the first QB taken whenever he enters the pro draft?

I find it so funny that the mutt nation would put a game up to beat us-Yeah that is the only way that will happen-Ohhh Matt Stafford he is the best QB in the country-What fantasy world are ya’ll living in? The guy has almost as many picks almost as he does TDs. Career numbers 38 TD 28 INT oh yeah I’ll give him the rushing too 6 tds- Now lets look at the other QB in the game this week- 49 TDS 9 INT oh and his rushing total 31 TDS- I’m not calling him Superman-I’m merely pointing out the numbers-Records Stafford 27-7 Tebow 28-6 plus a national championship and Heisman. Just facts here! Once again MUTTS we are not talking about the NFL-we are talking right now College football. You have no argument-so to what I said the other day- SHUT UP! I don’t care what Stafford is doing like NFL QBS are doing right now in this moment he is in college - TEBOW is the better QB-Period-And you can ask any of the greats they will tell you they will trade all the records for Championships-College and Pro-Again the numbers speak for themselves. To be honest as much as ya’ll bash HOBO’s play calling you should be glad he is able to check at the line-so next time he throws a pick from a check don’t blame HOBO-Man I tell you I will give the credit and love to the MUTT Nation You guys are hands down the best damn Would of Could of and Should of university in the Nation! You can justify in your mind all you want about game situtions bottom line is Tebows numbers are better than your beloved Stafford- I will give Stafford this much at least he was born in the wonderful state of FLORDIA!

Everything points to a hellova game. I just hope we can make some plays on defense - like Gamble’s at LSU - to slow these guys down. Clearly, our offense is hot, but so is Florida’s…clearly, Stafford is a great QB, but so is Tebow…clearly, last year’s ‘celebration’ grates on the Gators, but I remind you that that ‘celeb’ took place in the first quarter after which UM called his team together, picked up the gauntlet and sent his charges into battle - final score 42-30. If they were gonna do anything about it, then was the time, now is about now.

As for Tebow ‘not being himself’ last year, there was a reason for it - he’d been hit and hit until he, indeed, ‘wasn’t himself’ and if they insist on running him a lot Saturday, he’ll get hit again, and again, and again…until ‘he ain’t himself’…again.

I like our chances, but it’ll be brutal. Funny thing, just why won’t my Gator friends give me those five points? Then again, I wouldn’t take ‘em if they did.

Tebow is a good kid and having a great college career. The lion share of that great career was last year topped with a Heisman. Nobody can deny that. And he did it with a 9-4 team. Tebow was a bull and don’t mind lowering his head and going through you. Kudos to Tebow for the great accomplishments.

But in the end, Stafford will shine as the more talented. He too doesn’t mind taking off with the ball but had much rather throw it. He’s the pure passer Tebow can never aspire to be. The best of Staffords talents is his ability to read a defense. Stafford is a thinker and understands the science of the game.

They are both equal in so many ways but Stafford’s arm and head is years ahead of Tebow. Georgia wins this game but not on the QB and Florida doesn’t lose it that way either. It will be turnovers and the big play that makes the more significant difference I suspect. For you loud mouthed Gator fans talking 60 points. You’re dreaming. GEORGIA 34-30

Stafford is the 1st choice on all the mock drafts, he is the top pro QB prospect in this year, and will best the better pro, sooner. He’ll leave for the NFL.

Tebow is a better college QB, and he’s about 5th in the nation. Stafford would rank about 10, college, but like I said, he’s outta here.

There are at least 3 QB’s in the Big 12 and USC’s Sanchez that have better college numbers. Sanchez is a first year starter, he has the most raw talent, but lacks experience; it shows, he makes some bad decisions, even so he’s 10# in passing efficiency; he needs another year before he turn pro.

Stafford and Tebow are the two best guys behind center in the SEC. No one can argue that (except the Bama tools who will say JPW is a God). Tebow does a great job running his daddy Urban’s spread. However, Tebow would struggle to run a pro-style offense like Stafford runs. That will be the difference in millions of dollars between the 2 kids. Stafford will get bank while Tebow holds a clipboard.

BTW, Tebow’s a great kid who can, does and will likely continue to do great things off the field so he’ll be successful either way. I just hope he fails to find any success on Saturday afternoon!

If you want wins in big games, Stafford is better.

And there is ZERO argument about who will be playing for a long time on Sundays.

This whole silly thing about trying to give Tebow credit for Leak’s title and wins is pathetic. Look at the games and situations. Tebow’s only contributions were to score a few TD’s as a FULLBACK on 1 or 2 yard runs after Leak drove the team down the field.

IT IS LAUGHABLE to give any of that to Tebow (as the QB) and it’s insulting to Leak, who was a very good and apparently underrated player.

Tebow may be a great kid, he may not. It’s easy to be nice when the whole world kisses your behind all the time. I do know he cries when he loses and has shown NO METTLE in the big games. Maybe he will start showing some this week, but until I see it I remain doubtful.

While Tebow is a great competitor; Stafford is just as motivated and focused but he keeps it inside. I’m glad UGA is going in as an underdog and that everyone is emphasizing how Florida really wants revenge for last year. BTW, does anyone think their LBs compare to ours?

What are Tebow’s career stats?

I know he threw the ball very little in 2006, where as Stafford had to throw the ball as he was our only viable option after Joe T. went down. However, if you’ll notice stats by year, Matthew has progressed every year.

470/833 completions/attempts

6,218 yards

38 td

28 int

127.5 passer rating

I think if we’d have been able to sit him as a Freshman his touchdown to interception ratio would be much improved.

Tebow was more like a running back that in 06, going 22 for 33….

Um… G8r Grad….

Don’t you reckon that possibly recruits look at the players that are currently on the field for a school when they decide to go there?

If UF had a football team say like Arkansas or Vandy do you think Meyer would’ve gotten the caliber kids needed to draw in the #1 class in the country?

Coach Meyer built Utah from the ground up to go undefeated his last year (and the next).

That he knew Chris Leak was not an option-spread QqB, and crafted a national championship offense around him is certainly a credit to Coach Meyer’s flexibility and creativity at coaching.

Where is the QB that got drafted under Urban’s last college? Is he still playing or riding the bench? Seems like he put up big numbers, didn’t he? MAybe it’s the system, remember the QB’s under Spurrier who had gaudy numbers but none that I’m aware of ever made it big in the NFL. Sometimes it’s arm strength coupled with desire as to who makes it in the NFL. It’s also supporting cast too, and being in the right system.

I’m not saying he’s not a good coach. Would I want him at Georgia? Not exactly, but hey.. to each his own.

But you can’t say that building this program was all Meyer.

Mark Richt had Jim Donnan’s recruits to contend with, and actually won the SEC with them.

If not for the love affair that the media had with Southern Cal and OSU and their weak a* schedules I think the Dawgs may have played for a NC.

So thank you Florida and LSU for ruining the medias lovechild “OSU“‘s chances at a NC.

im not a uga fan or gator fan, so i’ll give my input. While stafford has great potential, he hasnt done half as much as tebow as of yet. although tebow wasnt the starter 2 yrs ago, i dont florida wins the MNC without him. A championship and a heisman(as a sophomore at that)that says something. How can u punish tebow for being a system QB, hes in a system that wins championships at the college level. one thing i look at this too is that stafford isnt in the spotlight at uga, they have other weapons. tebow has 2 linebackers staring at him the whole time. its lots easier when moreno, moreno, play action to AJ green. Stafford done has upside, i think when its NFL draft talk, scouts see his size and arm, as they say, u cant coach size and speed. but both are great, i just think that tebow has done more so far. And whoever said manning had a great arm, i will remember and laugh at that comment when he throws a duck every other pass.

Urine Test — This guy has a point! This was written by a construction
worker in Fort McMurray . Read on …

**I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes, and the government distributes my
taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay check, I work on a rig
site for a Fort McMurray construction project. At any time I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. HOWEVER, what I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who
don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Understand - I have no problem with helping people get back on their
feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on
their arse, drinking beer and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much
money this country would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

If you agree, please pass this along, or simply delete if you don’t.
Hope you will pass it along though, because something has to change in
this country.**

back-to-back-to-back, at a wedding? Dude too bad.

If there are pro teams running the spread Tebow will be darn good QB. If not look out Matt Jones your job is in jeopardy. Stafford didn’t really impress me that much his first two years. He did in the fact that he could drive the team down the field when we needed it the most. He never quits. But this year he has impressed the hell out of me with the throws he making. His stats could be a lot better if there weren’t dropped balls. The flip side to that argument though is that those Wr’s and TE’s make some catches that should have been incompletes.

If Stafford turns pro I really look forward to seeing him play in the Honolulu Blue next fall. Go Lions!

By Oledawg

October 30, 2008 4:27 PM | Link to this

Let’s get down to brass tacks. Whenever we played Tebow, he had his legs cut from under by roll blocking backs much smaller than he is. Where he has fallen forward for 3-4 yd gains vs other teams, that has not been the case whenever he plays the Dawgs. He used to have to run a lot because his coach didn’t trust his running backs and put enough burden on Tebow for him to earn a well deserved Heisman. So Tebow’s running hasn’t been effective against us. Go back three years and look at the stats. Now they have a couple of fast backs in Demps and Rainey. Neither can run as effective as Moreno and King who have some speed as well. Moreno and King both can run after being hit. Although Moore is playing this game, he and the other running backs have that nontrust by Crier in the back of their minds. Concentrating on not fumbling on Natl TV will have them holding onto the ball for low gains. We still have Samuels to throw into the mix. Our O lines are comparable. If you believe FU’s D is any better this year then you are reaching. Strong has never put out a good defense and if you think the Ken game(where most of their stats were generated for you to think they are better than they really are) is an example you would be mistaken. It is still the old defense we whipped last year. Look at Spikes’s stats vs UGA last year. See anything fearful? The rhetoric is the only thing that is hyped up from last year.

Want to compare receivers? Outside of Harvin their speed to get open against Evans, Allen and Jones is limited. And our receivers? Who is going to stay with them? MoMass and Sean took care of their butt last year. Add AJ and a host of other receivers to the mix. Send Moreno, Chapas, Southerland out of the backfield on screen passes. FU doesn’t have comparable players. Now we throw Chandler (back from injury) in the mix to block and receive…do any of you see what I’m getting at? The offensive comparison goes easily to UGA.

Flat out our D is better than FU’s. I don’t have to name names. We outman them.

Special teams, special plays and kicking will tilt this windmill slightly toward UGA . Fumbles and interceptions will make a good part of the winning difference and I hope that goes UGA’s way. No one knows.

Overall, UGA has nothing to fear. It doesn’t mean you don’t respect their capability with good athletes all around on both sides, but I believe the UGA coaches keep this game under control and beat them the same way we did last year. A good old fashioned butt beating.

UgaVII, I hear that Barrister Seiler has been playing tug-of-war with you using the jorts that FU fans wear. Why don’t you run a pair up a flagpole beside your doghouse with the crotch ripped out at Jax.? Put an FU helmet on your fireplug. SIC’EM!!

As far as the better QB, Stafford has the better tools, but Tebow just has the “it” factor. It would be hard for me to spend a high draft pick on Tebow because of his lack experience in a pro style offense, but I must say I would love to have him on my team.

As for the NFL draft article, while Stafford is only #24 on the list, if I didn’t overlook anyone, he was the number one QB. So with teams always looking for a QB, that automatically moves him into the top 10 and probably top 5. My only fear with Stafford is whether he will become another Jeff George, someone with incredible talent but never lives up to his potential.

It has Moreno as the #2 RB. Like Tebow, I would love to have him on my team. A true threat every time he touches the ball. I love how he fights for every yard. I just wish we would stop the hands crossed “statue” pose after every good run. His ability and drive speak for themselves, he doesn’t need any show-boating. He is the real deal.

Well now, is this a serious question? You’re joking aren’t you Chip? You had me there for a second. I thought you asked who was the better QB. That can’t be a serious question. The arm strength issue with Stafford getting as old as John McCain. Sure he’s got a strong arm but so do a lot of other QB’s. You see it’s not about arm strength after you establish that you can throw a 12 yard out route from the right hash mark to the left sideline. Both can do that. If armstrength were the end all shouldn’t Stafford be an absolute God at the deep route? He can’t hit a receiver in stride deep and he can’t hit a receiver in stride consistently at any distance. How many times have you seen UGA receivers have to literally fall down catching one of his throws. Admit it, he doesn’t have the accuracy to deliver the ball to a receiver consistently so that they can do something with it. Tebow on the other hand hits his guys with a catchable ball giving them a chance to do something with it after the catch. Tebow is a beast running the ball as well. He may not become a great NFL QB but who really cares in the end. It’s about the college game isn’t it? If Stafford and Tebow were standing in a group in the back yard and I had first choice picking for my team I’d take Tebow every single time. And oh, by the way, he has a Heisman Trophy on the shelf. Staffords career at Georgia has yielded nothing of significance so far. He has a chance to be great but there is nothing to imply that greatness is ready to blossum. Gators win Saturday, and it won’t be close.

Dear DickandTired,

You moron. No Florida quarterback has ever been good in the NFL. Period. Sure, Tebow may have the upper-hand in college, but let’s face it, Florida quarterbacks are a product of their system. They CANNOT function in a pro-style offense. Forget the Heisman. That award doesn’t mean jack in the NFL. Don’t get me wrong, I think Florida is going to beat UGA by at least two touchdowns on Saturday, but, Tebow is going nowhere in the pros. Plus, he’s a douche.

Ignorant Fl.fans will cry when they see how average their boy is in these 2 areas. Stafford is 10 and 2 against ranked teams. Loser boy is 3 and 4 against ranked teams.Plus as even a gator fan can see, Stafford has played and beaten alot more ranked opponents. As far as leading a 4th qtr. comeback, Cry baby has never once led his team to a 4th qtr. comeback. That is pathetic. Oh just to make you losers go back in your trailers and cry, Stafford has done it 6 times. Only thing Teboo can do better than Stafford is cry on national T.V. after a loss. He has done that many many times. Go worship your loser cry baby Q.B. on Tenn’s blog, you can brag there.

Who gives a rat’s arse about the NFL? This is all about college football and the SEC. Bottom line, Tebow has better stats, a national championship ring, and a Heisman. And he’s not even done yet. True, Stafford has a big arm and can throw it around like nobody’s business. But when he leaves Athens, all he’ll have are to show for it are some fond memories of an afternoon spooning a guy named Cox.

Stafford is finally having a good year and finally living up to the hype. But if I had to pick a guy to lead my team, I’ll take Tebow over Stafford anytime. It takes more than a big arm to win.

And for all of you who are so convinced Stafford is going to be great in the NFL, remember Ryan Leaf.

I have no idea who is gonna win this one. It can go either way so quickly. It could be like Bama………..or LSU.

Simply put: Tebow is a multiple threat where Stafford isn’t. Tebow can run effectively and is essentially a running back on many plays. Stafford is a weak threat running - AT BEST. I’m a UGA fan and not sure why we are even having this discussion/blog. Tebow is WAY MORE versatile of a QB than Stafford. When it comes to college Tebow wins hands down…when it comes to how they will fair in the pros it’s a closer contest. I would probably say Stafford is a better NFL QB, but I also say that Tebow could really bring a complex and unnerving offense to the NFL if the coach can use him like they have used him at FLA.

Never took one 1 snap in the NFL.In a few years Stafford he’ll be working with Greene selling insurance.Eric Zeier? didn’t do much in NFL, even worst doing play by play for the Georgia Dawgs. Keep Larry in the booth, he makes the game fun to listen to.Good luck Larry.

The point here is tha Tebow lived up his rep the day he stepped onto the campus. Stafford has finally figured it out after playing more snaps than Vinnie Testeverde played in the NFL. If you’re a UGA QB recruit you better find some good books to take to the games.

Gatortime,

I guess the bottom line of your last posting to me is that no matter the time frame I did see you admit that the dawgs have a NC. All BS aside, I think this type of rhetoric has made this rivalry what it is. I would love to sit down watch the game over a brewsky or two (cases) and see who the best is in 08’. I like you will be back to congratulate should the “GAYTORS” win Sat.

Staff shows that he would rather be a runner than a passer. He will go 4th round as a place-kicking spotter or will become an assistant at Univ of Texas.

My daughter and I live on Amelia Island, but I have three teaching degrees from UGA.I tried so hard to get tickets to the game.Wanted my 16 year old to witness the fun.I hadn’t been since before she was born.We went down and participated in the activities outside the stadium.I have NEVER been so disgusted,embarrassed & grossed out in all my life.People unrinating in plain sight,throwing up on others shoes,exposing body parts,falling down drunk with others having to step over them,smoking dope and trash EVERYWHERE.The city of Jacksonville are idiots to have the game in the River City…and I hate Jacksonville.We had to watch the Jumbo TV outside the stadium,but after the third guy urinated on my shoes and anther threw up on my daughter…we left before the 2nd quarter. I missed seeing the entire game.This activity was happening two hours before kick off.It got worse as the day went on.I graduated in Georgia’s glory and have never left a game…win or lose. I will never go back to the Georgia/Florida game…with or without tickets. I encourage any parent to check it out before letting your child go there alone.The police report in todays Jacksonville paper was unbelievable…not DUI arrests…but rape and public display. The police could do nothing but watch and break up fights.The activity at the Landing was no better. I can party with the rest of them, and got a great beer drinking education while at UGA…but the GA/FLA game should be stopped!

It’s a different game if the two Florida holding penalties would have been called. This changed the game dynamics that resulted in Georgia altering their game plan.

The Dawg’s defense is about as weak as it has been in 10 years, especially on the line and in the secondary. HOWEVER, in some ways the offense has surely not helped them by turning over the ball, especially the interceptions, and giving the opponents unbelievable scoring opportunities. So, the losses have been a combination of poor play on both sides of the ball. Some of it this year is due to inexperience, but you begin to wonder if the caliber of player is not on par with Florida and some of the other teams in other conferences.

Our defense is one of the worse in the country! We need a new defense Coordinator!
