Quote:I am not a Jacksonville Jaguars fan....yet. You probably know what i am going to say here. Tebow. Do I think he can come in and immediately fix your offense?  probably not.  If you give him some time and build the offense around his unique skill set you would put fans in those seats and might even be proud to be a Jaguar fan in a year or so. What do you have to lose?

 

What do they have to lose?  Another few years of building.  Of course Tebow won't fix the problems in Jacksonville this year.  But how do you build a team around a guy who can't throw?  Dump receivers for more tight ends for run blocking?  cuz that is about all Tebow is good for, running running running.  Maybe throw to one of the six tight ends or two to change things up. 

 

It's an awful lot of work to try and rebuild a team around some guy three teams took a good look at already and couldn't get rid of him fast enough.  Denver said no.  Jets took one look and moved him to punt protector.  The Patriots, if anyone could have found a really creative use for him, would have done so, but dumped him.  It is an exercise in futility.

 

So why bother wasting time trying to build around a guy who just doesn't have the skillset to be an NFL QB?  To sell seats because of his popularity?  Okay, but I hope you are fine with the Jags ceasing to be a football team and becoming a traveling carnival.  Cuz as soon as they sign Tebow and commit to him long term, it stops being about football and more about the side show of having a charming kid on your team that for some reason has people building shrines in his honor.

 

There isn't really anything to be excited about for this team.  This weekend seems like a good one to invest in some lube for as Vegas had the Broncos winning by 4 TDs for the first time since the 70s.  But don't kid yourself.  Tebow getting signed would make a lot of cultists happy, but the team will still suck and at the end of the day won't be any better off than they are today.  All it will accomplish is bringing yet more drama when the team tries to figure out how to pick up the pieces and move forward.

 

So the real question when it comes to Tebow is:  As a Jaguar's fan, is it more important to try to build a winner, or is it more important for Khan to sell tickets and attract fans who don't care about any aspect of the team other than Tebow?  Cuz bringing in Tebow and winning just isn't one and the same.  I lived in Denver during his time as a starter, and I can tell you that many of their fans didn't find leading the league in three and outs and seeing their punter trotting on the field 10 times per game all that exciting.   If you think it was Tebow that did the work in Denver, then you obviously didn't watch the games.  Cuz I did.
