Tim Tebow's most prolific

[missouridawg]

rushing season at Florida was his senior season, in terms of attempts and yards.

Why in the world are we trying to keep Dak on a leash?

Tim Tebow also had 3 offensive lineman on that team that went to the NFL. Tebow also had Chris Rainey and Jeffrey Demps in the backfield with him who went to the NFL. He also had Aaron Hernandez and Riley Cooper at TE and WR. I'm not saying Dak does not have talent around him but I do not think our O-line or backs are quite up to par with Tebow's group his senior year. Add all this up, and throw in the fact that we were facing a defensive line and a linebacker group that is pretty stout and the opportunity to run with Dak just was not there but a few times. We made adjustments and took what the defense was giving us in the second half and almost pulled out the W. This team will continue to gel and get better it just sucks that we lost a close one to a team that has owned us for so long.

Maybe so, but the fact that Dan is trying to turn Dak into Russell 2.0 pisses the hell out of most of us and should you too.

Dan is getting paid to win games at State, not groom a QB for the NFL by completely changing what comes natural to him.

excellent 2nd post

the opportunity to run with Dak just was not there but a few times. .

Just think, had Dak taken those few opportunities to take off we might have gotten enough yards and momentum to score a couple more times and not have to try and catch up in the end.

Yes, possibly or he could have gotten destroyed and fumbled the football. All I am trying to say is that expecting Tebow like numbers at this point in the season is not reasonable. I also don't think this loss can be attributed solely to Dak's inability to run the football Saturday(a lot goes into having a successful running game). You can only do as much as your personnel will allow you to. Tebow had a fairly veteran group his senior year. Yes, we do have guys that got a lot of reps last year but it is going to take a little more time for this group to develop it seems. The OL last year had 3 weeks before their first big match up to develop and get into a rhythm and so did the rest of the offense. Coming into this season I think all of us would agree that we had strength at the WR position and at QB and we had question marks at RB and on the line. So, clearly we played to our strengths the second half and almost won the game throwing the football.

AMEN! And if Dan wanted him to run, he would be running.

Dude, really? You begging to get run?
