Voting for anyone other than Tebow at QB

….is like voting anyone other than the ’04s to the basketball all-decade team. And I stand behind that statement.

Really people actually voted for Leak or Rex?????

As a pure passer, sure Grossman has Tebow any day. I dont know why people would vote for Leak, he had nothing over Tebow.

I stand by what Skigator said. You have to be a Tebow hater to not vote him here.

I like that people voted for Leak and Grossman

I always thought Leak never got the credit he deserved (as I once drunkenly yelled at a guy ripping on him at Grog, “HE HAD THREE COORDINATORS!”). And Grossman is Sexy Rexy and the Sex Cannon. That is worth a few votes. Also, Grossman was a starting QB in the Super Bowl, and Leak was a backup for the Grey Cup winners, Montreal. (The Grey Cup MVP actually credited Leak for calming his nerves, since Leak had championship experience.) Hindsight is always 20/20 too.

Chris Leak was MVP of the BCSCG

He got his credit, I did feel a little bad when the fans were chanting Tebow. That was little messed up.

Rex Grossman will always be the better “QB”. but come on now, were talking about Tim Tebow here. lol. not voting for him is saying you would rather have them at the QB position! Wich is crazy.
