[spuwho]

ESPN.com is reporting that Tebow going to the Jags is a virtual certainty.

Lol, I can see it now. The Jags double their win total to 4-12 with the new QB.

I seen that on NFL.com too. That was the DUMBEST and most pointless article Ive read in a long time. But listen, did yall see the story about fan violence on nfl.com yesterday and the picture on the front page was of Jaguar fans?? But the story had nothing to do with the Jaguars? I guess after several people, including myself made comments about it, they change the picture today. (sigh) the life of a Jaguar fan what can I say

he needs to just go to Canada, he probably would succeed here

You said "go to Canada", and then "succeed here"  ?

3 Downs in Canada.

I think TEBOW  is a better fit in the NFL

It's a combination of Tebow camp leaking a non-story and lazy journalism by ESPN/NFL Network. Tebow to Jacksonville is the cheapest, easiest story to "report". We don't even know who the GM will be next year. And any new GM is no going to tie himself to a mediocre QB like Tebow.

Nope, he'll definitely get him a star, top notch guy like Byron Leftwich, David Garrard, or Blaine Gabbert.

No, copper said "new" GM - not the incumbent.

Those guys have nothing to do with Tebow being mediocre. Nobody is pumping up our previous mediocre QB's. But bringing in Tebow would be like continuing to embrace being below average. The franchise is getting a rebranding under Khan. He started with the back office, hiring a team president with big business experience. He is enhancing the stadium experience. He is trying to give the team international exposure. The roster is in need of a drastic update to compete in this league. Getting an elite QB is the most important piece. Tebow is not that piece.

Tebow will fit right in here IF Khan hires a GM and coach who will install a wishbone offense and build the team around Tebow.

The next guy will be equally as average. Don't let your Tebow hate make you think "anyonebuttebow" will be better. At least if it is Tebow you get to blame the teams mediocre performance on him. I think at this point people are afraid to see him succeed so they don't look stupid. Any team that will build an offence around him will be 1000% better than this years Jags (which sadly isn't that hard anyway).

Wasn't Blaine part of that re-branding anyway?

I think he would make a fine underwear model. Nice glutes.

The next guy may not be average. That's the whole idea. We need to find the next Russell Wilson or Andy Dalton instead of embracing the mediocre Tebow because he was good in college and is from Jacksonville. Hopefully the next GM doesn't buy into some Barnumesque philosophy.

Can't even escape the Tebow worshipers on here.

Tebow was a GREAT college football player. However, success in college doesn't always translate over to the NFL. I don't think it's smart to 'build a team' around a non-traditional QB. WR's want a real QB that's going to give them an opportunity to show their skill sets and RB's aren't going to want a QB that's taking away rushing attempts from them. He has horrible mechanics as a QB and it's obvious that as much as he tries to work on those mechanics to fix that, it's not going to change. He's had roughly 3 years to change it at this point. So unless Tebow is willing to come in and be something other than a QB, I think it's a bad idea. No one gets shuffled to (potentially) 3 teams in their first 3 years in the NFL because they are a great franchise-level athlete that's worthy of building a team around. God knows Broncos fans are glad they dumped Tebow for Manning AND was lucky enough to fool some team into actually giving something to them for Tebow.

Not to mention that Khan stated in the off season that it was the first and final time he would meddle with the GM process. If anything, he would leave the decision up to the new GM. Nobody in this league see's tebow as a QB, except for his fan. I have nothing against him personally and wouldnt care if he was on the roster, just not at QB. And what is this "all he does is win". Denver used the hell out of him and thanks to Denver defense keeping the games winniable, Of Tebow could run in for a last minute TD and win the game. Oh yeah and what happened to him in the play-off's against Patriots when they got blew out??  If all he does is win, what happen that night?  Even our bad Jags team almost canned the Partiots Sunday.
