John Brantley

Brantley will attempt to fill the shoes of one of the most-accomplished college players of all-time in Tim Tebow, but the comparisons of the two end at "starting quarterback for the Gators." Tebow was an average college passer and an exceptional runner from the quarterback position, but Brantley is nearly the opposite. He doesn't have great running ability, but he's got a much stronger arm than his predecessor and can get the ball down the field. This clashes a little bit with Urban Meyer's offensive scheme, but Brantley will still be successful with just a few tweaks. Additionally, he won't enter the season completely green after seeing action in six games last season and eight the year before. Brantley won't put up the rushing totals that Tebow did, but his ability to move the ball through the air, and the talent on the Florida roster, should allow him to approach 30 touchdowns in his first year as a starter.
