Ok, I'll bite. First of all, I am NOT in the camp that doubts Tebow's worth at the next level. Although I loved Danny, I DID have doubts about his success in the NFL, but I FIRMLY believe that Tim will surprise a LOT of people and be an NFL star.
He has another year to convince the naysayers he's the real deal, but in any case, I'll go on record as predicting Tebow gets the NFL "Rookie of the Year" award in 2011.

Fran --- -- Tuesday Countdown- - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution By Jeff Schultz | Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 11:27 AM The Atlanta Journal-Constitution 7: I was going to do a column on this last week. Unfortunately I was interrupted by the Braves' ejection of John Smoltz. So now I'll now just throw it out into the blogosphere. Who would you rather be: Tim Tebow or Matthew Stafford? Because I've polled about 10 people and the results might surprise you. 6: Here are your two choices: Tebow: College football legend with possibly no NFL future. Stafford: College football star (but well short of legend) with a certain NFL future and a $70 million contract. Stumped? Here's a little more to make you think. Tebow: Heisman Trophy winner (with possibly another to come), two national championships (with possibly another to come), two SEC titles (with possibly another to come) and universal admiration. Also, an endless supply of hot-and-cold running blondes. Stafford: No trophies and no titles but a bunch of wins and a nice bag of stats and significant but not universal adoration. Also, an endless supply of hot-and-cold running blondes (that seems to be their common trait). This really is not meant to be a knock on Stafford. I'm just asking: Would a $70 million contract (at least $35 million guaranteed) be enough to make you forget about all of that other stuff? Because for me it would. But . 5: Asked my wife. Asked several friends. Asked Mike Bobo, the Georgia quarterbacks coach. "I'd rather be Tebow," he said. "But that's probably because I knew I didn't have the talent to play in the NFL. I think it depends where you grow up. I grew up in Georgia and playing college football was my dream. Matthew grew up in Texas, and his dream has always been the NFL." All but two people said they would rather be Tebow. I asked my wife about the money. Her response, alluding to Tebow: "He'll find a job."
