So what; then, it's favoritism, you say.  That we can probably all agree on. I think we can also agree that coaches show favoritism all the time in picking a coaching staff, otherwise, assistant coaches would have nothing to worry about when a team appoints a new HC. And they all have thier favorite players who they would most likely attempt to acquire if given the power to do so. We have all seen this first hand both here in Jax and around the league. And what might be favoritism to some is called loyalty by others, for good or bad.

Bottom line is, will this work, especially at age 34? No idea, but if it doesn't, then Tebow should be cut in favor of the next man up. How many people thought a college QB would end up being a star WR? But that Julian Edelman ended up being pretty good.

Sure. Let's compare two totally different situations.....

Edelman never played QB in the NFL. He started out as a WR in the NFL at age 23 and he never took 8 years off but sure.... let's bring that example up.

The actual bottom line is that no one.... in any sport.... has been in this situation. No one has played one position their entire life and then stepped away for 8 years to pursue another sport and then come back to try and play a totally different position. There's a reason this has never been done before..... Because it won't work.
