If you count this \"era\" in college football as being a generation (i.e. the last 30 years) then Meyer is way off the mark. You've got Herschel, Barry Sanders, Desmond Howard, Raghib Ismail, John Elway, Doug Flutie, Bernie Kosar, and the list goes on and on of players whose jock Tebow couldn't carry with help.
If you're talking about the last fifteen years (closing the window a bit to the BCS and Boal Coalition era), you still leave out David Pollack, Danny Wuerffel, Eric Zeier, Reggie Bush, Ron Dayne, Vince Young, Charles Woodson, and Tommie Frazier, who may just be (apologies, Herschel) the most dominant offensive athlete to ever lace them up.
The fact is that the Leyer is just trying to garner national attention for \"Tebow for Heisman '08\" because he knows that he doesn't have the defense to stop us or LSU, and he might just lose to UT this year. I was screaming all last year to anyone who'd listen that Tebow's numbers were way inflated, and even GatorinGA admitted that something like 53% of Tebow's touchdowns were from 2 yards out or less, and that over 80% of them were from within ten yards of the goal line. Those are fullback numbers, Creyer, and they don't impress a man whose team sacked your pancake six times last year.
