I have been thinking about this for about 2 weeks now, and I'm sure it's been mentioned here before:

Why don't we put Cam in to run the short yardage plays since Tebow apparently can't do that very much since he is hurt. Like on that 4th and 2 play bring in Cam and let him get the necessary yardage for a first down. The guy is huge, bigger than Tebow and just as powerful. We could even bring him in on the Goal Line. Maybe Meyer doesn't trust him enough to not fumble but besides Tebow and Harvin, who the heck does he trust?? I mean seriously it has been mainly the Harvin and Tebow show all year. Sometimes you need to have a little faith. I haven't seen much faith in other players from Meyer. Yes, Moore fumbles, but do you really even have to ask why he fumbles?? RB's need the ball, that way they get in a rhythm. If you are going to give a back 4 or 5 carries a game maximum, he may fumble more than he normally would. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Moore is a natural fumbler and Cam can't be trusted to carry the ball in crucial situations, but that double reverse call, even if it worked, was stupid in my book. Of course if it worked we would be calling Meyer a genius, but still wasn't too smart. Let Cam carry the ball some. He can't be much worse at that than Tebow or Moore for that matter.

The reason Moore didnt play last yr was cuzz of his fumbling so it is natural

So let's just run Tebow to the ground so he can get a career ending injury? Point is, you can't give Tebow the ball every down. You need to involve other players. And you didn't even answer the original question.

Tim Tebow, is hurt, but he's a winner you think he's gonna go cry to urban and say i'm hurt? ofcourse not, but if they keep on running him, things could get worse so worse he could miss his sr year, like urban said before the second half started, they ask if he was gonna run tebow, urban said we're willing to do anything, but we also havta protect our QB. may not be exactly the way he said, but thats along the line of what he was saying. so yes I say run cam atleast try him.

Cam deserves a shot. I remember him making a few players , and even scoring a touchdown, earlier this year. I say put him in every now and then to spell Tebow.

He has scored TWO RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS this year. In limited opportunities near the goal line. If they trust him there why not trust him to pick up two yards. I mean after all, Tebow was hurt and not able to run much.

Newton should deffinetly get some plays for anything just to give Tebow a breather. But what we need to capitalize on is Jared Fayson. He was a HS QB so he can throw the ball. Why not put some "Wildcat" formation plays in like Arkansas did with McFadden last yr.

Newton will see time this week, especially if the Gators get up by a few scores early on Vandy. They have got to get him some reps in case something drastic happens.
