Nobody would argue this is a do or die year for JC.

Unless I'm mistaken, JC has already "earned" the starting spot, so he starts, of course. But, should Campbell flounder like I expect he will, then don't waste yet more time "bringing him along", especially if we're still in contention at that point. Collins would naturally get the nod. If we're out of contention, then Chase should get as much playing time as possible. (Yes, I think if Thursday's match up ends as I suspect, Colt gets the boot.)

And then there's that guy named Tebow, I believe, who should be around next April - maybe we can "throw" the next 16 games and invite him to play - wouldn't THAT be splendid??? :-)

He more than likely won't play QB in the NFL

Well, I agree he may be a bit cumbersome for the small forward position :-) - are you suggesting tight end?

I think he will be either a TE or a pass catching full back. I do, however, think that the return of the single wing (wild cat) may find him a spot on an NFL roster as a "Quarterback." He could end up being a lot like Pat White, drafted to play run the wild cat/emergency qb spot and find a way to prove himself.

My biggest problem with him isn't that he can't throw. He's not overly accurate, but that's not as much of a headache as his need to be a power runner. Guys are bigger in the NFL and that's a good way to get injured if you're not big enough to take the kind of beating that would be required of a power back. I'm afraid if someone selects Tebow to play Q, they'll spend much of their time wondering how his throwing shoulder gave out so early.

Not to be argumentative, but I'm not sure "power running" is a necessity at the QB position; his rushing numbers aren't too shabby (after 3 years, 475 attempts - 2,037 yards - 43 TD's). And at 6'3", 245, he's not exactly a welterweight. I think he can take a hit or two....

Tebow has NO CHANCE at being an NFL QB. None. He'd be a good guy to have on your team though. He could be a utility player and help out on teams, h-back, TE and maybe some wildcat.

Kerwin Bell, Rex Grossman, Bob Hewko, Doug Johnson, Eric Kresser, Shane Matthews, Jesse Palmer, John Reaves, Kay Stephenson, Danny Wuerffel, and Steve Spurrier are all former UF QBs that played in the NFL.

I get your point.

But there's always a first time....

Was Jesse Palmer the dude on the bachelor a few years back? lol...I dont watch that show, I swear...

yeah, I'm not a big JC fan, but I was enamored with his play on Friday (I'm extemely impressionable)...albeit in a preseason environment.

I wanted them to trade for Cutler...but giving up the two first rounders woulve mortgaged our future...we desperately need o line help in the first round next year. And Orakpo looks like a building block for our franchise.

Definitely wouldnt have moved up for Sanchez, although I think he has more potential than JC....

Shit, we've won our super bowls with average/below average qbs. Its all line play.

But with that being said I do think Campbell is one of the low tier qbs in the league....I hope he proves me wrong this year.

Other than qb we have the skill players to make some noise...but their window of opportunity is slipping...before we have to tear down and rebuild..
