Jags Sign Tebow
 

Jaguars signed TE Tim Tebow to a one-year contract.

The deal isn't 'official' just yet but will be in the next week or so. Tebow, 33, hasn't played in a regular-season game in nine years and will be attempting to change positions once he does make it to camp. It's another wacky (albeit fun) move that brings Meyer's tenure into question after the organization also added a first-round running back and drafted multiple injured players. There is no competition among Jacksonville's tight ends if Tebow does somehow sneak onto the 53-man roster.

LOL. Pretty much what everybody told him to do when he came out.

But I bet he doesn’t see the field and is a “locker room guy” ala vrable under pissoli.

My buddy had Tebow and Dave Chapelle at his hotel at the same time.

Tebow was, by far, the larger PITA.

lmao

Money grab. He's old and they want to suddenly play a receiver role? Effing stupid as ****.

Sounds like ‘put butts in seats’ signing.

Here we go... wait for it, the outcry about Kap will be loud.

Was Kap trying a comeback as a TE?

No, but there will be something made of white privs I’m sure.

Good for him.

It hadn't occurred to me, but yeah. The victimhood industry should be on top of the situation in short order.

You're not wrong.

The worst NFL QB I've ever seen. Made Cassel look like Dan Marino.

The dumbass could have been in the league this whole time if he hadn’t insisted on playing QB.. Whats different now Tim?? $$$$

NFL back to being good with guys kneeling

I remember one of the games against the Chiefs where he missed every pass he attempted. Except 2 passes to Eric Decker which beat us.

Kelce or Tebow?

His games in Denver were frustratingly mind numbing.

Well it takes away a bunch of the media off of Trevor Lawrence that is for sure.

**** i was at that shit show. Somehow we lost to a guy who was like 2/17 and 120 yards passing.

Tebow somehow still managed to win a playoff game. Which really doesn't compute.

Urban Meyer is looking more and more like the next Steve Spurrier-type college to NFL failure.

Even the presence of Trevor Lawrence won’t prevent it.

I'm a University of Florida fan and a New York Mets fan.

I'll never understand people's real dislike for the guy. He was an amazing college QB who was never going to amount to anything in the NFL in that position but stuck to his guns to try to live out his dream. He eventually pivoted to baseball after years of not playing and developed into a serviceable minor leaguer.

He probably sees an opportunity to get one last chance to play in the NFL with his college head coach. Why not go for it?

If the guy were all about the money, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have spent the last several years riding the bus as a minor league baseball player in his spare time.

The fact that Teblow (and many in the media) portray him as Jesus Christ tends to rub people the wrong way.

I think this was the game?

Says he was 2 of 8 for 69 yards. 56 of that on 1 pass to Decker which won the game.

Thanks to one prayer of a pass, and a Pittsburgh secondary caught in mid-circlejerk at the worst possible moment.

Same # of playoff wins as Lamar Jackson.

Because he proudly wears his religion on his sleeve.

I detest religion but even I can see the guy is at least genuine about it.

You ever notice how on football forums there is always one guy who is rabid fan of the fourth string rb and wants to argue with everyone on the board that the team would win the SB if only Johnny ****stick got the ball more? Well, imagine if that player had 30 million fans just like that.

This move should put the Jaguars over the top

Plenty of players are openly religious, but Teblow portrays himself as the savior, Jesus Christ.

Jaguars are going to be garbage. Why not try another gimmick?

Has any player had a longer absence from the league and returned? Let alone a different position. It would be a miracle.

selling tickets.

Finished your sentence for you Dane.

Jaguars just wanted their own in house prayer guy instead of having to outsource prayers from the local pastor.

Well to be fair, they haven't been the same since Jack Easterby left town. ROFL

Jags sign JAG to sell tix, jerseys...

Paul Finebaum Show has been interesting today. Tebow brings them out of the wood work.

I know, that was terrible.

But not as bad as Pittsburgh getting beat by one overtime Tebow completion...in the ****ing PLAYOFFS.

Add in the fact that he's gay, and it would be quite a story. LMAO

Ah, so THAT'S why Trim Treebow roomed with Aaron Hernandez for the road games...

The one game that Tebow didn't look outright terrible. Still only completed 10 passes... I think listening to the crew review the highlights was the best part.

LOL, Jags are dumb.

QB1

I like the entertainment factor lol he’s prob gonna get cut before season starts but I wanna see him try to truck a DB

They will probably have gadget plays where Tebow throws. TE pass will become a thing.

I’d have more fun laughing at how bad Tebow was if the Chiefs weren’t somehow worse during the same time.

I also like that Tebow has won the AFC West more recently than Philip Rivers.

“... you take the lateral and as the unblocked QB breaks free on the left side, you launch the pass and hit him squarely in the ankles.”

That sort of gadget play?

Ah yes, the glorious 2011 season when 8-8 earned you first place in the AFCW

And then there was the time when Tebow hurt himself throwing a pass five yards over the head of a wide open receiver who was three yards downfield. After a close review of the tape, it was designated as a non-football injury.

This is a "put asses in the seats" sign. He will get a couple gadget plays and that would be about it I'm guessing.

Had he taken the Patriots (iirc?) offer to try out for TE way back when, he might've actually made something of himself in that spot

Instead he stuck to his ignorant "I'm a QB", and now he's just too damn old to learn a new position and have any kind of success with it

Too late, Tim

Tebow is a good guy, I doubt he would make the team but would be cool if he did. I don't know why, but I always wanted to see him play. He even won a playoff game with Denver for goodness sakes. He would be called crazy by a lot of people now though

**** Kap.

I agree he's a good guy, thought he should've jumped at the chance NE offered back then... he was just the kind of big, athletic, intelligent guy who likely could've been a dynamic TE

But now at 33? well ok, we'll see lol...

He’s connected bruh. How else would you explain the 3:16 game?

No question about it... sure has generated a lot of butthurt though.

The Kap shit is all over right now. People doing exactly as predicted.

I don't know why, but I think Tebow works at TE. Jacksonville doesn't have shit at the position, their most experienced guy is James O'Shaughnessy. It's laughable. Tebow is not coming in and going to become Travis Kelce. He'' he's not going to be a Hayden Hurst either. But can he come in and give you more than James O'Shaughnessy? Yes.

Ignoring the backlash from vastly unearned media attention angle, the reason I don’t like him is because he seems like a bit of a showboat.

He should have transitioned to TE like 1-2 years into his NFL, if not immediately. But he wanted to play QB and flamed out. He then embarked on a effort-filled but quixotic quest to mold himself into a MLB player.

In short, he seems like an attention seeking dumbass.

I'm self aware enough to know I hate the media not Tebow.

He obviously infuriates the anti-religion folks. It's funny how some have said "the media props him up....", but I would venture a guess to say he gets more attacking media than propping media (again, the anti-religion folks).

I'm not a super-religious guy by any means, but I do find it ironic that Tebow rubs people the wrong way for that, but yet prefer to cheer on the Rae Carruths, Ray Lewises, Rothlesbergers, and Lawrence Phillipses of the world each sunday who've done some pretty shitty things in their life.

Unearned media attention?

The guy was arguably one of the best college FB players of all time.

Treebow also won a playoff game more recently than Rivers, iirc. Rivers hasn't won since the 2007 postseason??

He was also one of the worst NFL starting QBs of all time, but seemed to get extra leeway because he was all Jesus-y.

I haven't kept up since he's been out of the league. Is he still a virgin?

Did you watch the Tyler Palko start?

Nah Palko was worse.

Damn beat me to it!

ROFL

That had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Leeway from fans, not NFL front offices. He has a weird "fan club" to this day, and it isn't just because he was good in college.

He started due to injury, correct?

Let's see -- college standout that never lived up to the hype in the NFL, so he takes his cash and heads off for a baseball gig. Plays 4 seasons of mostly low level minor league ball, career BA of .222. Sure, place your bet on the Jags being SB champs today.

I mean you could technically say that, but the truth of the matter is that he started because Haley was giving a giant hairy middle finger to Pioli.

Regardless, we never had things go that way for us pre Mahomes.

Tebow is not NFL talent. He just isn't and he's only being brought in to be a locker room guy.

Extremely well put; I think Tebow is a great guy and a model citizen.

The fact that any time his name comes up in any capacity the media starts drooling regarding ratings just gets old very quickly.

I actually feel bad for the kid because he's just such a media cash cow and it's really not his fault.

It does however get annoying when he's projected to be a potential backup tight end flooding every medium in sports reporting

He started because Haley, who was all but asking to get fired gave the big FU to Pioli by starting him since Pioli was obsessed with Cassel and refused to actually bring in competition for him.

Maybe did this for ticket sales.

Tebow is a legend in that area.
