<p>When Florida coach Urban Meyer looks at quarterback Chris Leak's career and his performance in a new offense last season, he only finds one significant shortcoming.</p><p>"The only just criticism of Chris right now in my opinion is he hasn't won a championship," Meyer said Friday at Southeastern Conference media days.</p><p>Leak drew heat from media and fans last season while adapting to Meyer's offense, despite posting a career-high in completion percentage and a career-low in interceptions.</p><p>It wasn't a seamless transition for a school noted for Steve Spurrer-style offenses and a coach known for his prolific offenses. Leak's passing numbers went down, he was sacked 32 times in 12 games, and didn't always look comfortable in Meyer's spread-option offense.</p><p>But Meyer notes it can't all be pinned on Leak. Injuries to receivers Andre Caldwell, Dallas Baker and Jemalle Cornelius limited the passing game at times.</p><p>All three are back this season.</p><p>The Gators did finish strong offensively, scoring 34 points against Florida State and 31 against Iowa in the Outback Bowl. They won both games.</p><p>"You're always going to have some tough times playing an SEC schedule and trying to learn the offense on the go," Leak said. "I think our coaches and my teammates did a great job of just staying focused on the right things. The coaches made the adjustments for us. The players made the necessary adjustments."</p><p>Leak's 8,271 passing yards ranks third among active major college quarterbacks, behind only Notre Dame's Brady Quinn and Houston's Kevin Kolb. He's fourth on Florida's alltime charts.</p><p>Meyer said the legacies of Leak and the three Florida passers above him are not measured by yards.</p><p>"The reason Rex Grossman, Shane Matthews and Danny Wuerffel were great quarterbacks is because they've got a ring that says they're the best, not because they threw for a number of yards," Meyer said. "Chris's job is to go win the championship. The best thing going is that Chris agrees with that. That's all that matters, is find a way to win that championship."</p><p>If that's Leak's first priority this season, No. 2 according to Meyer might be to help mentor freshman Tim Tebow, a Parade All-American who is already second on the depth chart after enrolling early and going through spring practices.</p><p>"There's a very good relationship between Chris and Tim," Meyer said. "We've made that very clear to him over and over again that his responsibility is to develop the backup quarterback."</p>
