Florida's All-Time Offensive Team

[78]

It's amazing how quickly you forget who did the blocking.

Q Tim Tebow
RB Emmitt Smith
FB James Jones
WR Wes Chandler
WR Percy Harvin
TE Ben Troupe
T Lomas Brown
T Kenyatta Walker
G Jeff Zimmerman
G Mike Pouncey
C Maurkice Pouncey

Is Percy Harvin even one of our top 25 receivers? I don't think he ever had 1000 yards.

Anyway:

Wuerffel
Emmitt
FB/Short yardage power back Tebow/Jones
Jack Jackson, Jabar (many great options here: Alvarez, Chandler, Ike, etc. I never saw Chandler in college or Alvarez, so I just rank the guys I saw. I think Alvarez was the most unamimous though if you look at how many services awarded him AA.)
Zimmerman, Lomas, Odom, Pouncey x2.

Mushchimp nominees for the only offensive player that matters: Kyle Christy and Chas Henry (draw).

There's only one TE that has the AA given by multiple sources and I don't claim him.

Here's the All American list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._All-Americans

I would think his 858 yards receiving in 2007 is in there. This is where, I suppose, the case will be made for pure receivers like Alvarez (88 receps, 1,329 yards in 1969) or Chad Jackson (88 for 900 in 2005). When you factor in his rushing yards, though, how do you keep Harvin off the team? I couldn't bring myself to name Jackson ahead of him.

Uhhh, because he wasn't really a receiver at all. Didn't run routes. He was just a guy who caught screen passes or crossers then took them to the house.....NTTAWT. I guess I'd call him a tailback who sometimes played the slot. His AA honors were as kick returner/all purpose and he got basically the same honors as Brandon James.

But mostly because he didn't play if he didn't want to, was suspended for fighting players, was suspended for fighting coaches, or was suspended for failing numerous drug tests. I get the yard per catch argument but the fact that he only got on the field 10 plays even when he wasn't suspended/hurt (or just didn't want to play) factors in to me. He gets shiitbag pain in the azz demerits and doesn't really have the resume anyway. We have like 10 receivers with more All American honors, so someone--actually a lot of someones-- agrees with me.

I get the James Jones love, but I have to go with John L. Williams at fullback. Guy was amazing; tailback running skills, wide receiver pass catching skills and willing to stick his head in there and block. Guys was amazing. GREAT NFL career too.

The fact that you don't have Chandler AND/OR Alvarez invalidates your list.

 

[Gator Fever]

The fact that you don't have Chandler AND/OR Alvarez invalidates your list.

I guess there are arguments for all of them and some say you should discount the receiver numbers during the Spurrier years.

 

[cornbread]

it's not a list without doug Johnson as qb

Doug Johnson can't hold a candle next to Driskel.

 

[Blacklabgator]

Kerwin Bell !!

 

[t-gator]

I would just put that 96 offense . With maybe Hernandez at tight end and the pouncey brothers on the o-line. But my memory doesn't go past 95 so I can't speak for anyone before that.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

It's not even close, the 2013 Gator team was clearly the most offensive team of my lifetime...

 

[RebelGator]

No, the fact he has a Pouncy on it does, though.

We had some great OL in the 80s that aren't getting any love. While Tebow might have been the best football player ever at UF, Danny was the best QB.

 

[stephenPE]

Best RB Emmit
Best QB a tie Danny Timmy Steve
WR Wes, Carlos Collinsworth
Center Bromley
Guard Guy Dennis One of the twins
Tackle Odom Lomas
TE Kirk Kirkpatrick He was amazingSOS first year

He was part of the GREAT WALL. Went to Dallas awhile.

There have been some really good players through the years. These listed are legit.
