Quote:Khan told Gene Smith to consider making an offer for Tebow.  That's a fact.

 

It was reported that the Jaguars made an offer for Tebow, he chose the Jets.

aaaaaaand you're still talking about a player who has never played for the Jags. Good for you.

so are you

 

nice deflection though.  I proved your point was wrong, then you respond with something like this.  bravo

We shouldn't be talking about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.


His name has a taboo on it.  Anytime his name is said, one of his followers will show up shortly after proclaiming about how he won that one playoff game a few years ago.  T.J. Yates also won a playoff game but you don't see people clamoring for him.  

 

No it's all about he-who-must-not-be-named.  Years ago 'Aarry, he terrorized the land.  There weren't a jags fan who weren't afraid of us signin' im'.  He killed the Jets' chances of making the playoffs.  Since then nobody has heard much from him (because nobody watches ESPN).  I reckon he was just out there biding his time.  He'll be back, you can be sure of it.  Signing with the Eagles, who's starting Quarterback be Sam Bradford.  That ought to tell you all you need to know about Chip Kelly's eye for QB Talent.

So, to sum it up, your collegiate hero who won a playoff game rejected a better offer from the Jaguars, his hometown team, and wound up failing for the Jets, and you're still obsessing over him even though he's subsequently failed for one and potentially two teams since then. 

 

From my perspective, Khan was a brand new owner who was looking at Tebow as a possible ticket sales draw because fans were urging the team to trade for him, and he ceded to their wishes.  He urged his GM to make an offer, and unbeknownst to Gene Smith, the best move he ever made as the GM of the Jaguars was a failed deal to secure Tim Tebow. 

 

When Shad Khan got another chance to take a bite from the Tebow apple tree, he was singing a different tune.  He deferred to his football people, clearly showing that he was learning as an owner, and saw enough film on Tebow to know that all he'd do is create a controversy here and in the end, fall short of delivering on the cultish hype surrounding him.

 

Caldwell thought he'd put the Tebow mania to rest here in Jacksonville, and for the vast majority, he did.  The Tebow protesters were left without their messiah in teal, and somehow the Jaguars, despite multiple losing seasons, managed to sell more tickets every year without Tebow.

 

At some point you need to face the reality here that Tebow was a great college athlete, but he'll never be anything more than a mediocre NFL QB.  The league keeps trying to tell you this by cutting him, but the message doesn't seem to be getting through.  You keep harping on the playoff win.  John Elway was so bedazzled by that win that he refused to commit to Tebow, and when the time came, he traded him. 

 

It's okay to admire what he did as a collegiate athlete.  He earned that.  It's also okay to accept the fact that his place in the NFL is as a footnote because he won a playoff game like many other mediocre QBs.

He said Tebow did not "sniff" the roster.  He certainly did.  I'm already aware of all the circumstances you just posted.

 

I agree.  He will never be more than mediocre at best at QB.  I never really disputed that.

Well if TJ Yates was from Jacksonville and played at a high level at a local university, you might see some clamoring.

Quote:Henne, the better QB, with no circus.

Ill go with this and be done with this thread.

But, but, but if T-Below was a Jaguar we would have standing room only crowds. Too bad they would be standing in line to puke.

Guess we must have different definitions of "sniff."


Keep "sniffin" his jock if you must.

Quote:Depends.

 

Are you looking for a backup QB or a backup mascot?  Each is suited for a separate role.

 

 

That's it!!!! Hire Tebow to be the next Jaxson De'Ville. I be he'd get up on those rails and jump off. He's certainly got the strength for it. I just knew there was a role in the NFL for him.

The question shoukd be if you needed to win a game, who would you rather have at qb henne or tebow? Hmmmmmm
