Thanks. I appreciate it. But since the 2017 defense continues to improve, I think saying this year's is better is reasonable. Switching Tebow and Franks would make a big difference, but it might not be quite that big. Frankly I am a bit surprised at the 2007 offense. I simply remember Timmy plowing into the line again and again keeping drives alive.

2007 was a pretty dynamic offense. It was basically as good as 2008 when it came to playing SEC opponents when I remember comparing the numbers one time. 2009 was the year the total numbers would fool you as it was a lot of fluff against the non-SEC opponents and quite a bit worse than 07 and 08 against the SEC competition especially when it came to scoring TDs.

Hate to quote myself, but that wasn't correct. Only fifty yards per game? You wouldn't even have to switch Tim. Just let him play for the 2017 team and he would add more than fifty yards per game. The 2017 team would win offense and defense losing only special teams.

I can honestly say Tim Tebow wouldn't have won any Heisman's under Mac. Hell, Mac would ruin Tom Brady.

Of course! That is why switching him would greatly hurt the2007 offense and greatly help the 2017 offense. That was the interesting aspect of the original post. Are you guys reading or just reacting?

Just like to say, had this 2017 Offensive team had Tebow then they would have a fine coach-leader and he would coach & lead during the game.

Interesting idea. Tim might have had sense enough to ignore the coaching. I could even see the team following Tim in preference to Mac.

We saw what a spread qb does in this offense (ie Harris)... saying that Tebow could throw better than Harris and the oline is better than 2015. But in 2007, we had receiver who ran correct and accurate routes so the quarterback had an open (wide fcking open) person to throw too. Our staff has wide receivers running into the same zone, so it makes it easier for defenses to defend. Franks would be better with the 2007 offense, no doubt. With Receivers who could get open, a playbook of more than 8 plays, and an offensive line that doesn't crumble in the first 5 seconds. The real question you are asking yourself is how much damage is Franks going to go through, and will the next staff be able to fix the damage done?

This is completely delusional. You think Tebow might had the sense to:

1. Design his own plays.

2. Meet with the offense to teach them those plays.

3. Meet with the offense to practice said plays.

4. Ignored the coaches calls in the game and run his plays.

5.Ignored the coaching trying to substitute him out of the game.

You imagine that any of 1-5 would be good for a team and lead to greater success? Good grief.

Maybe you are correct. But is there any staff in the country that could keep Tim off the field or prevent him from running over people?

So you think Tim who was a good solider for his career, would just tell a coaching staff he is going into a game if they told him no? I don't get the point of your statement other than fantasy.

It's all right. I get that this isn't your cup of tea and you are in good company. Still, some of us are having a little fun with the speculation.

I love Ancient. He is a better Pumpernthan Coach really. The master of the asterisk and the moral victory.

Hard to not laugh at some of what he says though.

I really like to see how this years defense who really hasn't went up against a top notch offense, would try and stop Harvin, Demps, Rainey, Murphy, Cooper and Ingram or Hernandez. The '07 Gators would dominate this years defense, even if they had Treon at QB. Lol

Mac's 3* defense is better than Meyer's 4.5* defense and if you interchanged Tebow and Franks, this year's offense would be better than Meyer's with Franks at quarterback.
Is Mac a good coach? No. He should have recruited a QB. But that is actually his one big failure.
Nice try Mrs. McElwain. Now get back in the kitchen and stir the barbeque sauce.
