Lol... that should be the question. Football wise it's not even a question . Tebow was apart of 2 national title teams, Heisman winner, and ultimate team leader. He wasn't overworked in any activity or curriculum.

Tebow was never getting stopped on 3rd or 4th and 1.
Also, Fitz sucks so astronomically bad at throwing compared to Tebow. Just look at the numbers, or if youre brave enough to stand it, go watch some film.
Fitz probably only has speed on Tebow realistically.
That NFL talent thing goes both ways. If Tebow would not have had that receiving talent, he would have had many more running attempts and his total yards would be much higher.
Since Mullen coached both, I wonder what his honest answer would be.
You think there's ever been a thread on a Florida board asking if Nicky Fitz is better than Tebow?
This thread is retarded and I have not even gone thru it nor will I.
Much better at not being a moussed-up bible-thumping douche.
Fitz >>>>> Tua!
So you don?t think Fitz would have better passing numbers if he had just one NFL caliber receiver around him? Multiple that by 3-4 NFL players around him that played multiple seasons and made actual impacts on NFL offenses, and you still don?t think Fitz would have better numbers. Hell Michael Henig would have been considered for all SEC teams, with the talent Florida had when Tebow was there. The ridiculous part is thinking they aren?t even comparable, when one QB had as close to an nfl roster around them as any team we have seen in Recent years. Bama usually has NFL defensive talent, but those Florida teams had NFL starters on both sides of the ball.
Give Fitz one or two of those passing targets and he has numbers close to Tebow in the passing game. Those guys would not play multiple NFL seasons, dropping passes like our receivers have the last 3 years.
ETA. Who thinks Tebow?s passing mechanics were better than Fitz? Tebow?s shit mechanics were covered up by all of those NFL receiving targets. SMMFH at some of these comments lacking the ability to project each QB on the other team with the talent on those Florida teams vs these MSU teams.
Yes give fitz nfl receivers and his passing numbers would go up.....but as stated before then Fitz's rushing numbers go down . And the one thing Fitz has done better than tebow in.....well he wouldn't be better at that anymore
Under no circumstance would Fitz have total numbers comparable to tebow. Not even if he played on those Florida teams.
This really is an dumb thread. Very very dumb
I'll give Fitz this... He's tough as nails... and when he get beyond the LOS, he has decent speed...
But he's a taller, larger/heavier, slower, physically weaker, less accurate passing version of Jalen Hurts...
Not buying that Fitz is slower and weaker than Hurts. Everything else you said is correct though. Hurts got benched though because he couldn't stay in the pocket longer than half a second. He may have improved since then but I honestly wouldn't know because I'm not watching Bama games past the 1st quarter.
Hurts is a power lifter/nutso gym rat.... The disparity in strength is not an arguable comparison...
However, Fitz might be faster than Hurts beyond 50 yards... At the 40, Hurts is prolly ~.2-.3 seconds faster....
And you're def correct that Hurts has improved some and still runs way too soon... Although limited in plays, he's statistically top 10ish in passing in the country...
I'll buy Hurts is stronger due the power lifting aspect.
Speedwise ... It would've been a good race before Fitz hurt his ankle. He had explosive speed before that. Never saw him caught from behind before this year. He seems to have lost a step and is running more cautiously now too in the open field.
I think it's comparable on the accuracy too. Hurts has had receivers like Ridley and in 2016, a mucho better Oline too. Hurts generally has always had all day to throw, hasn't had all the dropped passes, and when he completes a pass his receivers are wide-ass open. Fitz hardly ever has a receiver wide-ass open. In fact, when any Bama QB completes a pass the receivers are wide-ass open and never drop the ball either.
But of course, being a Bammer the only player than can be better than Hurts is another Bammer.
Fitz didn't cost as much to recruit and get to come to MSU either. If we spent as much on recruits as Bama, or even OM, we'd lose 50 schollies and be on probation for 10 years.
