To Play or Not to Play...

All of Gator nation held their breath as quarterback, Tim Tebow, lay motionless on the field after knocking into his own man's knee. As teammates tried to pull on his jersey, Tebow didn't flinch- prompting medical staff, and sending Urban Meyer, other coaches, players, and fans into an absolute panic. After presumably waking, Tim looked like a character straight out of Looney Tunes with the dust and question marks swirling around his head. Then... came the violent vomiting and disturbing exit in an ambulance.

The media has been sent into an absolute frenzy over this topic- conjuring controversy regarding the danger of the game, and the mental health risks it creates for the future. Lately, the main source of angst for the Gators has been the volatile "will he or won't he" regarding his play for Saturday's match-up with #4 SEC rival, LSU.

I believe I speak for most sane individuals by saying I believe there is absolute no need or reason for Tebow to risk his current or future mental capability or potential for one Saturday in college. In fact-- (Yes, I am an avid LSU Tiger, buuuuuut.....)-- I truly think the Gators should have the confidence that they could win this ESPN Game Day match-up without their starting quarterback.

Sure, they call him Superman, but we all know he's not invincible. Tebow has unmatched ability, strength, faith, leadership, and confidence, but there's no need to put his entire future in jeopardy for one W.
