Why Florida's Successful Chris Leak/Tim Tebow QB Model Probably Isn't Right for Alabama This Year

The Alabama quarterback situation remains the nation’s most fascinating offseason storyline, and you have questions…

From Blake: Are we going to have a Chris Leak/Tim Tebow type year with the Alabama QB situation?

I don’t think so, if only because the opportunity for that—if such an opportunity ever existed at all—passed last year. The two-quarterback system employed by the 2006 Florida team that won the national title is one of the few examples of a working multi-QB arrangement, but it only worked because of a very specific set of circumstances. Those circumstances don’t exist at Alabama at the moment.
