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. https://www.nbcsports.com/edge/footb...nville-jaguars |

Jordan wasn't a good baseball player either. But by the time he left the sport he was actually serviceable. That's a hell of an achievement. We're not talking bo Jackson or deion here who had natural talent and experience in the sport. |

Jordan played one year of minor league ball and was shit the entire time, he wasn’t serviceable at all. |

Jordan finished his career hitting. 250 in the Arizona fall league. Tebow hit .273 in AA. Again these are not natural baseball players. These are athletes from other sports who wanted to prove they can play a different sport. What are you expecting from players who took 5 - 10 years off of baseball then decided to play with some of the world's best? You're not comparing them to major leaguers are you? Of course they aren't but who in the world expected them to be?

Urban Meyer is already ****ing up. This like when Steve Spurrier signed a bunch of his old gator players during his Washington days.
Lot of reports out there that the players are not happy with this and they should be pissed. No way they don't cut him during camp. |

If no player or front office person in Jacksonville will put their name on this supposed gripe, then it is just another example of a non-story taking up time on sports talk programs.
There are 32 NFL teams and teams can have 90 players when training camp starts and for a couple weeks into training camp. That is 2,880 players. If Tebow is being evaluated fairly when he is practicing, then this is nothing but a bunch of nonsense being talked about. |

How stupid do you have to be to not realize that your own NFL team did not do the thing you are blaming Jacksonville for? |

It is even more stupid, K has shown very little that he really wants to work his way back into the league, screwed up his NFL tryout, refused to play in minor league because he wanted to be paid too much, etc, etc. Getting paid as the victim is worth so much more for him anyway.

Kurt Warner was reviled for a time - both he and his wife - for their religion and the associated political views. Only Drew Brees on your list has faced almost no backlash and that's not surprising because he's not nearly as vocal as the other two, and not even close to being as outspoken as Tebow. |

I'm not a religious person and if you are that's fine. But there's also a large portion of people that don't enjoy having it shoved in their face every 5 seconds. I fall into that category, if you take every opportunity to tell me how cool Jesus is that's gonna get on my nerves. |

Which takes me back to my original comment:
I find it ironic and funny that people get so disjointed about something they're absolutely convinced is a fairy tale. |
