Meyer: Tebow looking 'terrific' after concussion

It always amuses me how these Gata trolls listen in rapt awe of every word uttered by lil' Urbie! Wonder what they will be saying if Timbow plays on the 10th ... and ... is carried off the field again? Not my wish but why would lil' Urbie and UF even take that risk?

Does anybody really think Urban will put Timmy's health before the team? The only way he would not play against LSU is if Tebow still couldn't see straight by that time. Florida is an average team without Tebow - and would have lost to us (that's saying something). It will be interesting to see, if LSU is able to hit him hard and often in the game, will Meyer leave him in?

I hate it when any athlete in any sport suffers an injury especially when the injury is potentially life altering. Tebow's injury looked very bad. I hope he comes back 100%.

I'll never forget how quiet Neyland stadium was when Travis Henry landed on top of his head scoring a touchdown and didn't move a muscle for what seemed like an eternity. The only discernible movement in the stadium seemed to be the slow movements of the medical personnel. Travis's mother and coach Fulmer were huddled around as they got the neck brace on Travis and them moved him onto the back board for that slow ride on the cart to the ambulance.

Hopefully Tebow will be fine just as Travis turned out to be.

Thanks for the diagnosis, doctor. Now, why don't you just go crawl in bed with tebow like you usually do and give him the comfortin you usually give him? I'm sure you can make him forget his concussion and his flu and get back to his normal self real quick. Talk about a guy who needs a ..........

DC, it always amazes me how you and your troll buddies take every comment and assume it is a criticism of you, lil' Urbie, the Gatas, or anything remotely related to UF and what you believe. That must be a sad way to live.

DC it was 101 excuses Urbie. He should of just said it was a good hard played game. It was.

This is very serious. Tim Tebow needs to be given time to recover. He needs to be honest and tell those in charge he does not feel right, if that is the case.

Tuesday night I saw a story on HBO's Real Sports. Bryant Gumble had a story about a junior high school player. This athlete told those in charge he was ok, while telling some good friends on the team he was having headaches. Later he was involved in a tackle of a player, that didn't look real bad. He died making that tackle.

Tebow should be given the time. Even if it takes three to five weeks. UF has a good backup QB and coach Meyers should not rush his star.

Here is a very good article about the decision that Meyer and the UF program will be facing in 2 weeks.
As Doyle says here, this will be a true indication of what kind of a man Urban Meyer is.

Good that urban meyer is doing the tests himself, instead of some quack "doctor" or something.

Here comes lil' DCgataboy's philosophical proselytizing!

Both of lil' Urbie's excuses for poor play are true. The point is that winners don't whine and make excuses. He should have just said it was a good hard played game. It was.

Now, what's your point?

That's mighty tall talk for a team that just let a UK end blast Tebow uncontested. From what I've seen of your O line in the UT and UK games, the only one who would be blasted will be Brantley. If your pathetic coach can't protect Tebow from getting the hell beat out of him, what makes you think he can protect Brantley?

Tell me, DC - what do you think of lil urbie putting a guy out there as valuable and susceptible to abuse as Tebow, making him very vulnerable in a scheme where he is the only offense your offense can generate? That means that as a matter of course Tebow is going to get beat up. lil urbie is depending on Tebow to get all of floridas first downs on third down conversions. That got him pretty beat up vs UT. And it got him a concussion vs. UK. But it doesn't appear to me that urbie really cares about Tebow, just the wins tebow can bring him. Real classy guy to put this burden on Tebow: "Tim, we've got to have you taking a beating every week or we'll lose. Please go out there and take a concussion for me...I...mean... the team. Yeah, the team, not me."

Witch Doctor....you are the only reason I read the comments to these articles. I think we need to start a campaign to have you on the weekly Vol calls before each game on Saturday. Keep up the good work!

Good to see Tebow is feeling better, but the real measuring stick for how this concussion affects him will come 6 months to a year from now. TBI effects sometimes take awhile to manifest. Read on another article (ESPN?) that UF and other major college programs do baseline testing over the summer to measure the difference in their brain functions if they've suffered a concussion. It took awhile, but the Army started the same thing a few years back. The biggest issue for Tebow is that TBI can slow down your cognitive abilities, i.e. quick decision-making and compex problem solving. Hope it doesn't happen (I know what it's like), but it'll be interesting to see what, if any, effects it may show.

And no, trolls, I'm not predicting doom and gloom on Tebow or UF. I know what TT is going through right now and I hope he pulls through.

i'm glad to see dweebo okay. i never like seeing any player get hurt especially an injury like this one.

i still question crier for having him in the game. i'd told dweeb to take the shoulder pads off at halftime. this game was over at the start of the second quarter and i wasn't convinced that ken-lucky would have scored again. john brantly (sp?) is a capable backup and could have easily taken over the "o" in the 2nd half. dang, the trolls think he's as good as dweebo. point being, crier bout got burned for his arogance and lust to beat everyone by 80 points. fool-ly, the toothless gay-turd fans, and the trolls on this site won't question crier for obvious reasons; therefore, it's a mute point.

Timbow is 3 days out of the hospital after a concussion and lil' DrDCgataboy is quoting odds on whether he will play on 10/10! Wow!

Do these images of Charles Manson appear to you often? I imagine Tebow felt like the Manson gang must have killed him when that UK lineman hit him at full speed flush in the upper chest after the poorly coached offensive lineman allowed him through untouched.

Kiffin doesn't ask McNeil or Brown to play, plays them because they want to and doctors say its ok if they do. Kiffin also doesn't build his entire offense or defense around them and place them deliberately in the line of fire, asking them to give him third down conversions when he's risking their pro careers to try to keep that up over a whole season. Kiffin also doesn't play either of them because he has to have them to win.

Meyer can obviously coach, but he's obviously also willing to risk Tebow's future for his ambitions. Maybe, if what I'm saying isn't true, he'll start leaning on his O line coach to do a better job of protecting him from crushing, uncontested bull rush hits. That's assuming he cares.

As far as leaving him alone, the problem is he won't leave me alone. His trolls like you keep pushing him in my face on Tennessee boards, and he keeps calling our recruits incessantly and repeatedly every time one of them shows up on our campus for a visit. So maybe since you and he are so tight you can tell him to leave us alone with his classless B.S.

He shouldn't, but may God help him if he does. Already we have a powerful precedent in the opposite direction, two years ago, when Oregon's Mike Bellotti hid behind the best guesses of doctors and the grit of his quarterback when he let Dennis Dixon play against Arizona with a torn ACL. Bellotti let Oregon's national title aspirations get the better of him, and when Dixon crumpled to the turf against Arizona with a blown-out knee -- hit by nobody -- Bellotti should have been fired on the spot.

That's where Meyer is today. He's Mike Bellotti, and Tebow is Dennis Dixon. Only, a head injury is much scarier than a torn ACL

The diference here is that Meyer KNOWS that Tebow is seriously hurt and as the head coach he should protect his players first!

So Kiffin allowing Bryce Brown to play and practice after suffering a concussion in fall camp is alright though? lol!

It is amazin' that "Dr" Urbane has pronounced Tebow fit and ready.

While in his office chewing his nails down to the quick.

Hmmm, at LSU with a raw QB. Could be trouble brewing.

Docs will present health case opinions to lil' Urbie. Lil' Urbie will make the final call.

Reuters reported that there was wild cheering in several jungle villages in the Philippines.

We'll remember that you said that, and that needlessly running up a score on a conference rival is something that you approve of. Of course, since you're a gator, that goes with the territory, right?

As far as it being our responsibility to look for answers from OUR coach as to why we got a score run up on us: You'll notice we now have a new coach. And you couldn't run up the score on him in his first - weakest - year, now could you?

You didn't address the part about the coach running to the microphone to gleefully rub it in with some publicly delivered trash and smack talk. And doing it with a smug smirk on his face. But that's all part of loving the gators, isn't it?

gator nation and gator coaches reamin what they've always been - classless trash.

Duly noted that we have your permission to run up the score if we can and you won't whine about it. Fine and dandy.

But, once again, you did not address the other side of this coin: the trash-mouthing steve spurrier legacy of the florida program. Why are you not addressing it? Your program has a history of this kind of trashy behavior, going back to spurrier. I don't want to see the score run up on florida ONLY because you've done it to us, but Mainly because of the deliberate attempts of spurrier to verbally bully and humiliate his conference rivals after he ran up the score on them to humiliate them further. That is your program's legacy. That's a score that's never been settled - yet.

And, of course you are wrong about Monte and the game, as usual. Monte had just as much time to prepare for your offense as your O coordinator had to prepare for Monte. correct? By just about any source you want to consult, Monte definitely got the better of your O coordinator. We did not lose the game because of our defense. We lost it because of our offense. In the coming years, that will be corrected. In the meantime, better get Brantley a nice, thick, snug fitting flak jacket for the game in Knoxville next year. He's gonna need it.

If he's never started, his leadership is unknown, and his toughness is unknown, on what basis do you make a claim that he is the third best qb in the league? Or the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, nineth, tenth, eleventh or twelfth, for that matter?

Jonathan Crompton was a five star, highly coveted recruit. Spurrier wanted him bad. When he was cutting his teeth behind Ainge we thought we had the next great qb in waiting. Just goes to show - you just never know about how many chickens you can count until they hatch. Right, gator?

See my earlier response to gatorbait65 re: Brantley.

You'll never hear this Volunteer calling any defeat at the hands of florida a "moral victory." Most of us in orange only noted that our team played a hell of a lot better than florida fans and national media said they would, and began pointing to our chances next year, and saw it as a sign that our program was headed in the right direction, given the level of competition on that day. Most in orange don't see defeats as moral anythings except defeats.

I agree that we were flat against Ohio because of the expenditure of energy against florida. but that's natural, normal for any program going against the top ranked team. Your contention that Monte or UT obsessed over florida in the offseason is laughable, given all the things that this staff got done in this offseason. Monte was studying florida films not just because florida was one of our upcoming games, but because he was completely unfamiliar with spread offenses when he took the job. And what better team to learn the spread offense from? In any case, as you say, it looks like he put the time to good use.

You are correct when you say florida is the program we are shooting at. florida is king of the hill right now, and we want to be king of the hill. simple. there's also a long standing score to settle.
