I don't want to be in the position of defending Tebow.  Was he a good NFL qb?  No.  Was he ever the answer for the Jags at qb1, 2, or 3?  No. (But was he really worse than anyone we've had since Garrard?  Except maybe Minshew.)  Is he going to be the answer at TE?  No.  Could he be a contributor?  Very doubtful.  But the difference between me and the half dozen or so of you who keep whipping this dead horse is that I don't begrudge him one last shot at the NFL and it apparently galls you.  It doesn't bother me in the least that he's getting a shot (maybe) based on his relationship with Urban.

I do not care what fans of other teams think.  I do not care what the national sports media think.  Do not want their approval and do not need their respect.  We'll get respect when the Jaguars win on a consistent basis, when they rip victories away from the teams from the vaunted media megamarkets.  Why any of you would care to have the approval of fans and talking heads who know no more than you do (and in some cases less) from NY, Cleveland, Washington, Philadelphia, and LA, etc., is beyond me.  By and large, those cities' teams have been big piles of steaming mediocrity for a very long time.  (Except: Giants window during the Coughlin/Manning years.  Eagles good team for about 3 years under Pedersen.) But, hey, enjoy your Festivus while I'm enjoying all the good, new players and coaching staff we got.

What a hot take, LOL. Hm, wouldn't Tim be a starter on a bad team then? THE JETS, as you phrase it. Dude couldn't crack the starting lineup 8 years ago, on a terrible Jets team. Who cares what the players even think... Can he play? NO

You don't do reading comprehension, eh?  Did I anywhere say that Tebow was good?  No.  I said he was better than McElroy.  McElroy was a complete scrub who was behind Tebow on the Jets depth chart.  He never had 1/10th of the NFL career Tebow did.  That's what makes it so rich that some grab on to his comments to validate their current Tebow outrage.

All my comments in the thread have one main point:  the potential signing of Tebow to a camp contract is unremarkable and not worthy of the indignation of many who have commented.  He will not make the final roster.
