    The problem is Meyer's offense depends more heavily on QB play than traditional offenses. Tebow is perfect for that scheme, and it'll take quite some time to groom a replacement up to that level of effectiveness.

    He's done fine elsewhere with lesser athletes than Florida has. His system is in place. Tebow is awesome, but I don't see Florida skipping too much of a beat.

    I can tell you one thing, we'll still hear about how great Timmy Tebow is/was.

    Dominating a mid-major conference with a "system" team year after year, week after week is one thing, doing the same thing in the SEC is quite another. There's just too much good competition, too many good teams for me to buy that Florida won't skip a beat next season. This ain't the 90s when Spurrier would stroll into town and run-n-gun the ball down everyone's throat.

    Not sure what Florida will be like without Tebow but I'm excited to see it.

    I thought they were closing down the school after he leaves.

    I'll roast in hell before I become a Florida Gator fan.

    And that's real.
