Shows how delusional Urban is.

 

[Boise4Life]

I wish he was good enough. Love the dude and everything he's about. Loved watching him play too.

He's not in the NFL because he refuses to play any other position than QB and nobody wants him as a QB. If he would play another position he would be probably be in the NFL.

Making sense... On a 'SportsHoopla board, no less.

My mom doesn't understand why i'm not in the NFL. She thinks I throw a football like a champ.

Another example of Urban Meyer's selective confusion.

I used to think this and then I saw a round table discussion of NFL insiders who said this was nonsense. The only two positions he could play would be tight end and fullback. They indicated that there would be 100 tight ends better than him, and there really aren't that many fullbacks in the NFL, and their careers are very short due to the banging they take mostly blocking. It made me rethink this idea that we all thought he would naturally be able to play those positions and realize how skilled NFL players truly are.

His "health and family" will suddenly become his focus again by the end of the Michigan State game.

 

[MarkOU]

I bet he thinks the same about Aaron.

Good shit man. Hilarious!

Drowning his sorrows in some pizza.

He doesn't care of he rots in the deepest, drakest dungeon as long as it absolves him of any responsibility for enabling him a serial killer.

I think he had his best opportunity with the Patriots. When that didn't pan out....his NFL career was over.

I agree 100%. Wouldn't you think that if he truly could have played some other position that he would have already? If someone told you to play TE or leave the NFL, you play TE... end of story. Besides, he has nothing to be ashamed of. He's won national championships plus started and won in the nfl. That's more than most people can say they've done.

Spot on.

I'm not trying to discredit those that play those positions, but we honestly don't know how he would've done in those positions. I don't think he would've been a starter but I believe they would've rotated him in fairly often. Also, most people seem to overlook the team leading ability he has. The main issue when he was in the NFL before is the controversy that came with him from the fans wanting to see him play, which basically took away that ability for him.

Maybe to you, but not to Tebow. I remember it coming up in discussion and Tebow blatantly saying he would only play QB and no other position. And yes, you are correct he has nothing to be ashamed. I never stated that or thought that.
