Tim Tebow- Jags new TE (merged)

Because I don't think he's being brought in because of his ability to learn how to block or catch a tight end seam route. I think he's being brought in because of what he can already do, what he's already good at. But in order for that to be worth it, he has to hold down a roster position, and be able to competently back it up if called upon to do so. (You can't be JUST a specialist). As for TLaw, Etienne, Shenault, or Robinson -- that's just a matter of "why not Player X instead of Player Y." I think Tebow is better in short yardage than all four of those names. But then, I think Tebow would be better than most players you can name in short yardage. On the other hand, many here think Tebow is not even "good" by NFL standards at short yardage, much less better than any other player on any roster. For those people, it's a bit of cognitive dissonance -- because they have to choose one of the following options, as they are the only two options: (1) Urban Meyer, new coach of the Jags, believes a player who is not even "good" could possibly help this team score, so therefore Urban Meyer is a dumb evaluator of talent; or (2) Urban Meyer is using a Jags roster spot to deliver a favor to a friend, which would be terrible. If you open your mind to the possibility "Urban Meyer legitimately believes Tebow can help the team on the field in certain situations," it opens up the possibility that you've got a good coach and a good player. And if it turns out not to be the case, trust Urban to cut Tebow. The game is a torment when you're rooting for a team but against a player, just so you can be right. When it's the other way around, it's a much more pleasant enjoyment. |
