[KenFSU]

Anyone elses's heart sink a little bit, thinking this was a brand new thread?

Nice guy, but it would be a total trainwreck.

[JeffreyS]

Well he is bringing another Chicken option to Jax, I am not so certain about the football.

^I could have started a new thread but that was just me playing with Jags fan's emotions.

Nevertheless, it is really messed up how the Jets treated this guy.  They could have released him months ago, so he would have had decent time to try and find a new team.

[Tacachale]

^Yeah. Everything about how they've treated him sucks.

[Demosthenes]

I want nothing but the best for Tebow. He seems to be a quality person. However, he is at best, a backup QB. The Jags are just starting to repair the damage done by Gene Smith, and the weight of a Tebow/QB controversy would be crushing to whatever progress they made in the draft.

Treated him? ha! It's a business, not a social club. It was an ill-advised move in the first place. Unless I'm missing something, the Jags wanted him too, and he picked the Jets. Stupid situation from any angle you look at it.

I'm no Tebow believer but after it became clear he wasn't going to work out the Jets could have cut him at any time. No one was going to trade for him, but they held on to him anyway until after the draft for no benefit to themselves. That was a cheap move. And yes, he did pick the Jets - after they told him he'd get playtime and would compete for the QB spot, which of course never happened.

According to what I've seen written, there were a few teams looking to trade for him if he wanted to be a TE. 

[FSBA]

Tebow is such a team player he's refused to move to any other position despite seemingly everyone saying he can't be a NFL QB

[Debbie Thompson]

Wasn't Denver winning games with Tebow at QB before they dumped him for Peyton Manning?   Not that I blame Denver for picking up Manning, but still...Has Blaine Gabbert done so much better for the Jags that we'd say he could be an NFL QB but Tebow can't?  I'm not big into sports, but just wondering.  All you QB experts out there, educate me.

[FSBA]

Denver was winning games because it had the best defense in the NFL. The Broncos scored 18, 10, 38, 17, 17, 16, 35, 13, 23, 14, and 3 points with Tebow as a starter. Not exactly lighting up the scoreboard.

Also, Tebow's completion percentage was less than 50%, which is well below average for a QB.  Tebow also had the benefit of playing against some pretty bad teams in his run with the Broncos.

Not that he's necessarily going to work out, but Gabbert was in a much tougher situation than Tebow on the Broncos. The team around him has been much, much worse, and he was younger and more inexperienced to boot (he only had 3 years of college to Tebow's 4, and he didn't spend a season as a backup in the NFL). Whether he's the answer or not, it's unlikely Tebow would be.

You hit the nail on the head. The Broncos, as a team , was much better than anything we had on the field the past Two years. And they still are with Manning under center. Their defense kept the games winniable because the Tebow and the offense couldnt put up any points. Their success has to the with the team in general, and not Tebow.
