Tebow to the Patriots

[dave]

If he's such a fucking winner why was he backing up Mark Sanchez all of last season, Tebow also quit on the Jets near the end of the season thats all I need to know about this entitled little prick.

It's just speculation on my part, admittedly, but if Tebow had been that team's starter last season, they would have had more wins.

I don't dispute for a second he's a media whore. But a franchise like Jacksonville can use that. Again, just take a chance ... design your O around Tebow for a year. If it works, great! If it doesn't, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I absolutely agree Tebow is a lot of hype ... but he's also a winner. Give him one year. I guarantee Henne/Gabbert will bore Jacksonville again this year. Tebow wouldn't have bored them.

Nobody makes decisions like this in the NFL because if it doesn't work you get shitcanned.

Based on what?

I said "speculation" ... what part of that did you not pick up on?

We're talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars here ... what do they have to lose?

Most speculation comes from some type of info or evidence.

@Obst - explain your neg rep. Say why going Tebow for one year in Jacksonville is so wrong in the current setup.

The people in the front office? Um, their jobs? You telling me you don't understand why front office employees of professional sports teams are risk averse?

It was a retarded post.

It's a brand new GM and head coach, why take a gamble like this when you first get there? Not only take a gamble, but do it with the worst QB possible just to hopefully fill some seats. How about build the team the right way which they are starting to do with Caldwell, that's what brings fans. Gabbert is still only 23 years old and this will be his third offense in three years. You give him the chance. He's the "hey if it doesn't work, we dump him and draft a QB" not Tebow. Tebow is just a circus who would distract this young team and would not do any better than what we have. And for once I agree with JimLeavy, it was a shit post.

What have the Jags done this off-season to be anything but what they currently are? Boring, 5 or 6 wins, Gabbo at QB (maybe) or Chad Henne (likely) with 25,000 empty seats a game. BORING.

 

[NAHSTE]

Count me in the camp that thinks Gabbert is fucking terrible, but Tebow is also fucking terrible. Jags GMs have every reason to stay the course and build sensibly from the ground up and have faith in the process. A one-off experimental year would be reckless and doesn't guarantee you anything long term. Tebow is probably not ever going to be a sustainable option for a team to build on for multiple years.

Jacksonville had better attendance than 12 other teams most notable the Bears,Steelers,and the Vikings.

Holy crap. You're right.

Props.

Give credit where it's deserved.

Where's Nukeleopatra? I need him to come predict Tebow will never win a SB, so I can go put $100.00 bucks down on the Patriots to win the SB right now!

Bookmarked this post for the first time Tebow lines up at QB in a goal line set.

He will come in for Brady and dive in for 6 instead of him. Please bump it when it happens to prove me right.

 

[Tailback U]

Cool post by you too TBU. All you did was spout off a bunch of things everyone already knew.

If everyone knows then why are people disagreeing with me?

 

[jeffx]

Tebow won't be a QB for the Patriots. He won't start a day at QB. When he does line up in the backfield, he won't be throwing the ball.

LOL at some of you bragging about "calling" this. Like it was some great prediction that nobody saw. He will line up at bullshit positions and contribute little to nothing.

Probably won't get much PT and I can easily see him getting released after 1 season. Trying to make news out of nothing. Let's at least wait and see if Tebow actually does anything before praising the Patriots and Belicheck for signing him. My gut says he won't do much.

Hoping they just put his ass at fullback though in goalline situations and give him dives, that's the best thing he could possibly be used for.

lol at Len hating because we have a Tim Tebow thread even though he's gonna be a 3rd stringer/spot player.

We have a Jamarcus Russell thread... a guy who has no chance of being on a teams opening 53 come september.

I'm just excited that Tebow got signed and didn't wind up going unsigned. Can't wait to see exactly how the Patriots use him.

How fitting, the pedophile roots for the priest on the field
