Collin Klein is better than Tim Tebow

[Pete]

While many people like to point out the similarities between Tim and Collin (both home schooled, both know WWJD, both at the top of the list for greatest quarterbacks in college football history), I think it's worth pointing out a couple of key differences.

First, Collin is bigger.  Tim left Florida at 6'3" 236 llbs.  Collin 6'5" 230llbs, and with a year left, he'll be even bigger (superior weight room work ethic).

Second, Collin is faster.  Tim was timed just under 4.7 in the 40.  Collin runs it in 4.6.

Third, Collin plays a much more difficult schedule.  The SEC East is basically the Big 12 North.  Our current "round robin" schedule truly display's Collin's superior talent.

Fourth, Collin is smarter.  Tim scored a 22 on the wonderlick, and the average for NFL quarterbacks is 24, his major was in Family, Youth and Community Sciences, so you can throw his GPA out the window (worthless degree that grades based on attendance).  Collin is all big 12 academic team, and his major is Finance. 


Pretty cut and dry...Collin is better than Tim Tebow in every way possible.

Your average Collinite would point out that Tim was surrounded by better talent and has a coach who would break any rule written.

[Dugout DickStone]

Also, Collin has battled horrid injuries while Tim played injury free.

[EMAWgasm]

Also, and most importantly, Klein is way better looking.  Work hard or work it.  Klein does both, he's a "dual threat".

This is a legit talking point when looking at their roster.

Pete, are you telling me there are people out there who think Tebow is better than Klein?

One knock against Klein:  he MIGHT be a hemophiliac.

But he bleeds right where Jesus bled during the crucifixion. Tebow takes one on the chin again.

Obviously, with as much as we have been on national television this year, most people have observed Collin's superiority first hand. 

However, there are those in places like Colorado or Nebraska where they stopped watching Big 12 football (it's tough for them to acknowledge what they have lost, so I don't blame them).  Honestly, I think it's just ignorance.  If they had all the facts, they would "get it."

I know a Tebow fan who said he was waiting until CK wins a conf title or gets to a big bowl before he will grudgingly admit it.

Well, this works out perfect. 

[sys]

well developed, well supported argument.  good ol' kstate education rearing its beautiful head.

[Dingo]

And while Collin is not ashamed to discuss his faith, he doesn't have to be an attention whore by "Tebowing" after every touchdown.

That said, I still like Tim ... but I like Colling better.

Just goes to show that your friend has been brainwashed by the mainstream, Florida-loving, liberal sportsmedia.

Collin Klein would have already received the Heisman this year if the media didn't hate us and try to hurt us all the time.

Word is that there are folks from the Downtown Athletic Club in town for the game this weekend.

Love the Cotton Bowl being on a Friday night, as the second to last game of the year.  A wonderful stage on which to finally show the country that Collin is way, way better than Tebow.

I'd have to imagine this will be the game that convinces Jerry to draft Klein. I just hope Klein goes the Andrew Luck route and waits 1 more year.

[EMAWzified]

Don't forget CK did it in the Big 12, while Tebow succeeded in SEC pillow fights.

Exactly. 4-5 TDs and 400 yards of total offense will look pretty darn good as a Cotton Bowl stat line.

Yep.  It's no secret that Jerry Jones LOVES CK.  I'd look for him to replace Romo by mid-season next year, ala Tebow with the Broncos this year.

It's a good thing we have Sams.

Klein will never play a down in the NFL

Klein will never play a down in the NFL

Like Mallett? Unlike Freeman?

[Pete]

At the beginning of next year, you are correct.  He'll have to sit and learn behind a veteran before he takes over....just like Tebow.  Don't worry, though.  He's has the character to keep working hard and not be deterred.
