Watching him play, I'll admit, he's a great player. He seems to be consistent, look at his stats. He doesn't throw for a lot of yards compared to a lot of other quarterbacks, generally has some pretty good rushing days for a quarterback and he gets a lot of touchdowns. It seems most of his passing touchdowns are because of the superior speed of his receivers and he gets a lot of red zone rushing touchdowns because he's got the size to take a hit. However, I think that you could take any good quarterback and put him in that system and if you call his number enough times close to the goal line, he'll put up some PS3 type TD numbers.
Tebow is not the best quarterback in the country, he's not the best offensive player in the country and there are a number of other players I would rate as more valuable to their team than Tebow is to Florida. Watching a Texas game and you'll see that everything McCoy has to do to find success for his team is 10x harder, and yet he does it better than Tebow too. If you want total touchdowns, McCoy has more of them. You like rushing yards? McCoy has more of them this year too. How about efficiency? McCoy has better accuracy and a better QB rating.
The biggest thing going for Tebow right now is the lack of top tier offensive players in the SEC compared to the Big XII. The votes are going to be split between Bradford and McCoy and Tebow will join Archie Griffin as a two time winner. My consolation is this, McCoy and Texas will be upset enough over this second snub that they will destroy Ohio State by 40 points and there will at least be a little fairness returned to the world.
On a side note, I think Harrell was snubbed, but I could see this being the same situation in part as 2006 when Brady wasn't invited just out of the risk that someone sitting on stage wouldn't finish in the top. I also thinks that this helps Bradford and McCoy so that Big XII/ western votes don't get split even more than they already will.

Though I agree that he's neither the best quarterback nor the greatest offensive player in the nation, Tebow does a great job leading a great team to victories.
Have a look at the three chicks in the photo, and how Tebow is trying to make it look like he's unaffected by his status as BMOC. Matt Leinart would have at least invited them back to his hot tub and busted out the beer bong.
