Quote:You know as well as I do that if Jameis Winston was a hometown kid with the pedigree that Tebow had in college on and off the field that Nole's fans would be obnoxiously pushing him like Gator fans did with Tebow. Let's not pretend any one fanbase has the moral high ground here.

 

No other fan base has done it like the gators did with tebow.  You can tell us what we Nole fans would do, but we haven't done it and no, I do not think Nole fans would come anywhere close to what the gator fans did.  Again, gator fans have a history of pushing florida players even before tebow.  

 

And this isn't about morals.  Just showing how arrogant the gator fan base became during their run and with tebow.  As if no other player could make the Jaguars better.  And let's also remember this went on from 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 until it finally died down this year.  4 years after he was drafted.  So no, I do not think Nole fan base would push any player like that hometown or not.
