It takes a really clueless first time NFL HC to spend any public effort on a 33 year old TE convert when said coach really needs to be getting his act together for his first season. If Tebow was a proven quantity and you were bringing in a rookie QB and wanting to shelter him some from the media process then maybe this might make an inkling of sense. However nothing is going to shelter TL from what is happening this season and as you say Tebow is just a major distraction from the things Meyer and TL need to be doing this off-season.
After Spurrier made his NFL exit I told myself I'd never see another incoming NCAA HC as arrogant and in need of utter thrashing at the NFL level again, but the clouds have opened and forty golden steeds emerged pulling a giant technicolor douche applicator, and standing atop triumphantly rides Urban Meyer with Tim Tebow giving him a platonic shoulder rub. Praise.
He could be the Jax practice squad QB for the next fifteen years. Or, until they make a coaching change.
Urban Liar just trying to hook Timmy with an extra year of service time.... which results in a pension and health benefits
Interesting point, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't need the money. https://fanbuzz.com/college-football/sec/florida/tim-tebows-net-worth/
I popped over to a Jags forum and they are already battling Tebots. Won't be long before they are suggesting that Tebow start over TLaw.
Tebow is huge in Florida. Its a marketing coop. Why is everyone making a big deal about a 3rd string TE signing? One thing Tebow has proven is he can YAC yards with the ball. Would we care if we had Tebow instead of Daniel Brown?
He's actually literally never proven he can do that at any level unless you're talking about yards after contact. It's a big deal because he brings a media circus with him which is detrimental to the entire team. We witnessed that first hand here.
Tebow is on board to add some ticket sales (Jax one of the worst hometown sports venues). When Lawrence starts his ascendancy to greatness and every seat filled they will find Tebow a job at the Concession Stand
That is why he's there but Jacksonville isn't that bad. 22nd, 17th and 21st with piss poor teams from 2017-2019.
Another dopey Jaguars thing... https://sports.yahoo.com/jaguars-fo...-same-grade-as-trevor-lawrence-212532797.html
Not a fan of Tebowmania or the whole religous thing but what struck me about Tebow back then in the early 2010's was that he won. He took the 2011 Bronco's (that went 4-12 the previous year) from 1-4 to the playoffs on a 7-4 run and had a very good outing against the Steelers. He looked god awful back there and his completion percentage was atrocious even if his TD-INT rating was superior to any Jets QB we've had in a long time, yet he won. Considering the amount of forgiveness that teams give to players who've troubled the law if they can win and the constant talk we have about searching for the intagibles that make a no-nothing six round pick a GOAT or even a UDFA putting up Canton numbers, It always surprised me that the Jet's didn't try ride the pony to see if it really was just an improbable series of flukes (Fitzmagic) that would naturally course correct (Fitztragic) in time or whether for some inexplicable reason Tim Tebow was just one of those guys who wins!?!? I'd like to hand the benefit of the doubt to the Jets management and say the saw enough in practice to decide without question that he would not succede on the field (despite him having done so to that point) but this is the Brain trust that gave us Sanchez, Geno, Hack and Darnold. But here in 2021 it's probably mostly about the sales, taking the focus off Lawrence and maybe giving him and other rookies a wholesome person to be around who can certainly tell a few tales about handling yourself in a media circus.
The Broncos signed Peyton Manning after that season, knowing they had a limited ceiling with Tebow at QB.
But he failed to win a playoff game his first year unlike Tebow Obviously Peyton was a massive upgrade but iirc at the time we were starting to have some doubts about the effectiveness of Sanchez going into his 4th year so come the blow out loss to the 49ers, I was sort of expecting the change to be made. Would of saved us from the buttfumble at the very least.
Tebow didn't win, his team won in spite of him. He looked god awful because he was god awful. The Broncos got rid of him because he was hopeless; the Jets got rid of him because he was hopeless; the Patriots got rid of him because he was hopeless. See a pattern here? The only reason he was with the Jets at all was for marketing purposes and I believe that was a failure also. Being "a wholesome person" does not earn anyone a roster spot, nor should it. Tebow was actually Tannenbaum's second PR experiment gone wrong - Favre was the first, but in fairness we must question whether these decisions were his or if they were directed from above.
