I mean I get it, Tebow sucks ass, but wishing a career-ending injury on a guy is a pretty spicy bit of vitriol, especially considering his NFL career is virtually a nothingburger seasoned with unwarranted media interest.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I don't particularly want or need to see Tim Tebow involved with professional football ever again. Without clicking any links, this feels more akin to Brock Lesnar signing with the Minnesota Vikings than it does a legitimate football move. Also, hasn't Tebow been out of the NFL for like a decade? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Tebow: the original kneeler.... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 In fairness, sadly, college basketball players somehow latch on as tight ends with no experience (see: Antonio Gates), so Tebow may still find a way to back into another job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Comet Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Tim Tebow seems like a nice enough guy. Not particularly talented above the college level but I really don’t get the vitriol nor people acting like he’s some Evangelical Jackie Robinson.

Sure, this is just more of a trial than anything and nothing is given, but I would have rather seen the opportunity go to someone else. I am certain that there are plenty of undrafted players that they could have signed that would have make more of an impact. I saw, I came, I left.

Seadragon76 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It's a feel good story, but have Tebow at TE probably isn't going to end well for both sides. Tebow hasn't been a TE ever in his career and the Jaguars are so downtrodden that any attention is good for them. I just don't see how this works out.

He’d probably try out Aaron Hernandez if he could get in touch with a necromancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The signing makes sense, though. I appreciate what Tebow did on the football field for Florida but I don't particularly care about him beyond that, so ignore my signature on this one. He had no business being on a minor league baseball roster but given that there's 300-or-so spots in an MLB organization, it's not like he was taking the spot of somebody who was ever going to sniff the NY Mets roster. TE is the position everybody was saying he should have been playing in the NFL to begin with, he seems to keep himself in playing condition, nobody's ever questioned his work ethic, and he's a low-risk possibility to slide into a Taysom Hill role -- which is what he should have done from the get-go. If it works, Jacksonville gets a gadget player teams have to consider when they're game planning, draws interest from UF fans throughout the state, and has somebody to bunk with anybody on the team that may be a psychopath in training camp. If it doesn't, Jacksonville loses nothing. I like the move. Hope it works for him and we get to see at least a glimmer of what he could have been in the NFL were he not so stubborn about playing QB.

Until you get the Uber religious crowd going “why aren’t they playing Tebow, it must be the league repressing Christian values” that has happened at every team he’s played for until he’s cut. The only positive is it will take pressure off of Lawrence, but even that will only last until he struggles and the same crowd plus gators fans clamoring for Tebow to replace him at QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I'm a Broncos fan so I know what you're talking about. I know there's still people out there who pretend he wasn't a terrible NFL QB but by now I'd like to think there's not many who think he should be an NFL QB.
