In an effort to keep Heisman winner Tim Tebow healthy, Gator coach Urban Meyer has said publicly that they will utilize more of a two-quarterback system next fall. In 2007, the Gators used backup QB Cam Cameron very seldom… if Tebow would have suffered a major injury then the Gators would have been absolutely screwed. I think what Meyer is doing here is grooming a backup quarterback to replace Tebow if he gets hurt, and also have a quarterback ready to step into the system in 2009 should Tebow leave for the NFL after his junior season.

I know a lot of Gator fans were a bit confused or upset when they heard about Meyer using two quarterbacks, but really it’s not a bad thing at all. Tebow is still the best player on the team and a Heisman Trophy winner. In 2008 we can just expect him to take a couple of plays off every now and then to help keep him healthy and fresh. If Cameron is the quarterback utilized in the two-qb system, I think we can also expect Tebow to run the ball a lot less. Cameron is a very big and strong QB who is more the capable of picking up the tough yards.

Remember, the point of it all is to preserve Tebow and keep him on the field all season. He gives the Gators the best chance at winning.
