Merged - Tebow/Sanchez

[Sunstroke]

I have a very easy time imagining the Jaguars giving him a starting QB job.  It's like printing money.

Are we still considering the Jaguars an NFL franchise?

[MikeO]

I do too.  Even if he isn't the starting quarterback, just having him on the team is like printing money

Seriously if Tebow can't beat out Gabbert and Henne then he might be in the wrong line of work.

I mean come on. That would mean in two seasons you couldn't beat out Sanchez, McElroy, Gabbert, and Henne. At what point do you say this NFL football thing isn't for me. Time for a new career!

And do what with him? If you start him and he sucks you are going to lose money when people quit coming to the game and if you sit him, you've got the Jets year all over again with a media circus. I think Jax will look at what has happened in NY and say it's not worth it.

That is an easily-flippable statement.

Seriously, if Gabbert can't beat out Teblow then he might be in the wrong line of work.

ha ha ha,  yes Sunstroke! It does work both ways!! good one!

[Sunstroke]

Yeah, Gabbert vs Tebow is like a fight between two different kinds of shit. In one corner, you have Blaine "Steamy Pile" Gabbert, and his opponent on the undercard, Tim "Got Chunks of Corn In It" Tebow.

Gentlemen, when the bell sounds, come out sucking!

Football has nothing to do with it.  Neither does Tebow's quarterbacking abilities (or lack thereof).  Tebow would put butts in the seats because Jacksonville is his HOME TOWN.  You would see a lot of Gators fans (and Jacksonville is full of them) coming to the games just to see him and buying Tebow jerseys.  That right there is money.

Im not arguing that. If the coaches want to keep their jobs though they do have to play the best QB on the roster. And if Tebow isn't it they can't justify starting him and losing for the sake of jersey sales and ticket sales.

Who said anything about starting him?  If he continues in his current Brad Smith type role for the Jaguars, that alone will draw more fans.

If Tebow isn't the starting QB and he is just blocking on punts I'm not sure the fans will show up like you think they will.

Didn't the owner want Tebow in the first place? Seems like playing him would help their cause more than not although if he wins ugly you get the whole Denver thing without Manning to save them.

I think they will.  You don't realize the type of person he is to Jacksonville.  He could walk into any bar in that big city and not have to pay for a single round.

I think the novelty would wear off quick though if he isn't the starting QB

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Tebow will not sign as a non-QB.

Maybe, maybe not.  He and Belichick had a long meeting before the draft.  Tebow didn't meet with BB with the expectation that BB was looking to bench Brady. 

I am sure Tebow's first choice is to be a QB and given the choice would be to be the starting QB for Jacksonville rather than a FB for NE.  But he also wants to be a football player, and given the choice of being a FB and sitting home, he will be a FB.

And do what with him? If you start him and he sucks you are going to lose money when people quit coming to the game and if you sit him, you've got the Jets year all over again with a media circus. I think Jax will look at what has happened in NY and say it's not worth it.

Tebow would be filling seats for two solid years before the novelty would wear off.  The first year would be, "This team was already the worst in the league, even Tebow can only do so much."  The second year would be when people start to get tired of him.

If, by some miracle, Tebow led JAX to another of his glorious 8-8 playoff seasons, they might as well build him a statue.
