So you're saying if Cam Newton would have followed Tebow we would have struggled offensively? That's laughable. Tebow and Newton were two of the greatest and most unique running QB talents in the history of college football, and we had them both at the same time.
This. I didn't know about affairs at the time, but I was acutely aware his voice, face, fear,and urgency when he talked about his family, and especially the verbage wreaked of the desperate last ditch efforts of a man who had cheated repeatedly, been given multiple chances, and was shocked when the wife followed through with her threats.
No, Im saying Meyer had his vagina attack in Nov of 2009, so it had nothing to do with 2010.
We struggled on offense in 2009 despite only losing Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy as major contributors.
Obviously, I disagree that we would have struggled offensively with Cam Newton under center, even with your mythical "250 pound average OL"
. He's really the only player that could compare with Tebow's once-in-a-generation running abilities. The fact that Meyer recruited both of them back to back is remarkable.
Right. He had learned his lesson. No smurfs up there, real football players. Of course, an easy peasy FSUlike schedule certainly helped. He was like 2-10 vs ranked teams trough four years. He is no doubt rolling now but the soft schedule hid a lot.
Right. So true.
Good questionNewton may or may not have made a difference?
You think Meyer would have had the same mental problems if we were still dominating and winning titles and Heisman's with Newton? That would have led to other epic recruiting classes, and we'd be the team that looks like Bama every year instead of Bama.
If Newton and Meyer had never left, we would probably have 3 NC's in the last 6 years.
