The Jags sign Tim Tebow

[wazzu31]

Well this could actually help Lawrence. The media will be on him for sure but not as much as they will be in regards to Tebow.. Could work out (not on the field)

This is exactly why it is a great move.

Good. Super Bowl bound.

Damn right. That was a magical run Tebow had back in 2011 when he led the Broncos to that S.B. victory.

He's the most overrated/overhyped one year wonder the league has ever seen. Around my part of CO. he still gets way too much credit.

He was 7-4 as starter, only completed 46.5% of his passes, threw 6 int's & had a league leading 14 fumbles. In those two playoff games he only completed 40.4% of his passes.

That's my thinking as well

Seeing where a lot former players and media talking heads are all up in arms saying "Tebow is taking someone's roster spot".

The Jags are using 1 spot on a 90 man roster that will be trimmed to 53 by the time the season starts. He's a former NFL player who is just barely young enough to give it one last shot at the position a lot of folks said he should have tried to play in the first place.

It's Tebow, so what he does will be covered, which means we'll likely know within a week or so if he actually can play the position. If he can't play and still manages to make the 53 man roster...then it will be a problem. Not before.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

Dude, go away, ok?

Thank you.

I doubt I will see anything funnier this week than you of all people, telling somebody else to go away.

I think he'll make the roster, he doesn't deserve it though. Just wait until Meyer puts him under C and takes snaps away from Trevor. That's gonna be hilarious.

 

[nynasty]

It will help the Jags sell tickets, that I guarantee.

Dude is still immensely popular in North Florida.

I don't. I think it's too late for him. 9 years is a loooong time between snaps.

I think he'll end up being released and then retained as an assistant coach or some media relations gig with the Jags.

I'd love to see him legitimately make the team, but I wouldn't even bet vcash on him making it. lol

Didn't he grow up in Jacksonville or nearby?

 

[RaZon]

He was a 4.71 guy coming out of Florida, he has to be 4.9ish now, that just won't work as a TE.

This makes zero sense and if I;m Trevor Lawrence not happy about it. Thought Urban was a bright guy.

 

[nynasty]

Didn't he grow up in Jacksonville or nearby?

Yeah, he's from Ponte Vedra-about 10 miles south of Jax.

Urban has a man-crush on Tebow. I think he'll find a roster spot for him. Speaking of Ubran when he first got to Columbus did you know he wanted Timmy-Timmy-Timmy to give Ohio State's football team pep talks? The university said hell no, he's not a Buckeye.

 

[Center Ice]

That team never fuckin' learns... That will likely be a huge distraction for the organization and is certainly a 'rolling my eyes' moment for Lawrence who probably doesn't want to be there anyway.

God Jacksonville is retarded.

Hopefully the team is smart enough not to let the media destroy the locker room. The media is the worst.

 

[mrschaney]

I for one think this is genius! If he can stay healthy, this will work out.

I'd hope that if he can't play, Urban would be smart enough to not try to make a spot for him that he didn't earn. That wouldn't play well in the locker room.

 

[CaptainStubing]

Can he really make the roster?

 

[Debbie Does]

Could his be a ploy to sell pre-season tickets or even practice tickets? Fans would come out to see Tebow that don't care about the rest of the team.

 

[Balljim55]

a 1 year deal.

surely that contract is not guaranteed. I doubt he makes the final roster.

Absolutely. Why not?
Give the kid a chance and makemoney doing it.....
