Tim Tebow's Concussion: The Day the Earth Stood Still

I don't want to get into too much about this but didn't your heart just drop when you saw Tim Tebow laying on the field almost motionless after being hit hard in last Saturday's matchup between the Gators and Kentucky. For so long, the intrigue about Tebow was his ability to take hard hits and even give them and stay in the game as if nothing happened. His nickname is Superman and I think too many people began to take it almost literally before last weekend when they saw their hero taken down and sent to the hospital with a concussion. Even if you're not a Gator fan, you must have been affected in some way. The Kryptonite play which left football fans talking illustrated that Tebow is human like the rest of us; but it also in a way helps football fans who don't neccessarily like the Gators appreciate what Tebow has done throughout his career. He is the most talented and physical Quarterback in the history of college football. With two national championships under his belt and having won the Heisman trophy his sophomore year, Timothy has given Gator fans bragging rights for the next decade. This hit on Tebow, which for Gator fans will be known as the day the earth stood still, will inevitably help him. Why? Because many who vote on the Heisman will look back and say, wow, even after a concussion Tim Tebow returned to lead his team to an undefeated season and SEC championship.
