In one post, you perfectly encapsulated why there is little to no substantive football discussion of Tebow.  None of the reasons you or anyone else support him have anything to do with substantive football reasons.

I wasn't attempting to give football reasons.  Look back through the thread if you like.  I have been skeptical of his ability to convert to TE and make the team.  But I haven't been angry that his old college coach gave him an opportunity.  It will all work itself out by the end of the month and I will be content either way.  

Is Ben Ellefson a significantly better player today than Tebow?  Maybe; maybe not.  Can anyone make a real case the last guy to make the roster is of any more real quality than a practice squad guy or a free agent?  No.  And if the Jags were to trade for Ertz, one or both of those guys would be gone.  I don't see us keeping 5 TEs rather than another OL or WR.  But that's just me.

I can make a case that Tyler Davis and Ben Ellefson are ten years younger than Tebow.  And that is indeed a factor when deciding roster depth. 

^ Just nitpicking your post there. 

You're right - it will work itself out. I'm just skeptical about moving on from a prospect like Oliver before getting him into camp and seeing him work only to go sign a wing and a prayer reclamation project.  And my beef on that is with Urban Meyer, not Tim Tebow.
