The popular perception when comparing Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and Florida's Tim Tebow as passers is that Bradford is the more effective of the two throwing the ball down the field.

Thanks to some research by the Stats & Information crew at ESPN, we can illustrate that's not completely true.

If you take into account their 2008 seasons, Tebow was more productive than Bradford on passes thrown at least 15 yards down the field.

Take a look:
