As a one year experiment, it can't fail:

1. Guaranteed higher ticket sales. Probably sell out most games.

2. If you don't have Tebow, will you make the playoffs next year? Of course not.

3. Is there a better long term choice?

4. He'll be cheap, so you can use the unspent money on a supporting cast. Can't say that if you bring in a traditional "proven" starter.

What better way to wait for the future while selling seats today?

It's a win-win for the city, and for the bean counters.

But they're just too stoopid to see it.

Like I said in another Tebow thread...JAX would be wiser to build their own through the draft than take on this project.

1. When the losses rack up(and they will because the talent pool is smaller in JAX than it was in NY and light years away from Denver) the fans won't even show up in the numbers they are now due to the lack of confidence in the ownership.

2. The Jets HAD Tebow and they didn't make the playoffs!

3. Grooming what they have now and build through the draft. It's their only way. Realistically...and both will probably be available...who would you take...Tim Tebow or Michael Vick? I mean IF you had to grab a QB off the racks...there's even some scuttle that Sanchez will be available when the season is over too!

JAX is one of those towns where if the team were to disappear it wouldn't be missed. Let's just make Cleveland and JAX go away for parity sake?

The Jets were completely negligent in managing Tebow, but you could put about half their skilled offensive players' names in place of Tebow in that statement. IMHO they squandered more talent than even the Chargers over the past few years, which is hard to admit-I live in San Diego and wanted A.J. Smith gone for a long time.

Tebow is also a capable leader and would fit in well in Phila or Tennesse.

I think this is something right out of Mike Brown's (Bengals owner) playbook. It's all about azzes in the seat. Seems to work...sorta...if you're ok with a losing team year after year. It appears Bengal fans are ok with it...or maybe they just don't have anywhere else to go and drink beer on a Sunday. 🤔

I know. The Bengals made it to the playoffs 2 years in a row, but do you really think the fans (honestly) felt they would make it past the first round? 😳

We're talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Since Mark Brunelle isn't walking through that door, the ownship should look to stay in the black.

That means fannies in the seats, and what better way then to bring in a bona-fide god for the locals. Gainsville by its lonesome could fill the stadium.

And unless you've truly got the next franchise guy behind center, why worry about a single season? You could still rebuild all the other components. Hell, focus on defense and build teams like they do in the Pacific North West.

I don't think it's a gimmick or novelty. I think it's sound business. And it's hardly "unfair" to the fans when it has no negative impact on the long term plans.

Or he could kneel before you and collect $20...

Easy.

THEY DON'T WANT HIM!

THEY KNOW HE SUCKS!

"I can't imagine a scenario where he would be a Jacksonville Jaguar," Caldwell said. A reporter, apparently dumbfounded by the directness of the response, even asked Caldwell to repeat that quote and Caldwell did.

Boom.

Well, there's THAT...

He's got years and years and years to go before he can look like that washed out Nittany Lion.

The Detroit Lions ARE the kinda team you're talking about too. The owner doesn't give a rat's hairy ass if they have a winning season or not. Butts in the seats...he doesn't care if Bears, Packers and Vikings dominate the crowds either.

How'd that model work out for playoff games?

Let's see who the Jaguars have at QB next year. If it's a long term franchise quality type of guy, then you're right. If it's a stop-gap then it's a lost opportunity.

Say Tebow went to Jville, there would be no way he would lose more games then they did this year. Say he wins 4,5, or even 6 games I guarantee they would have sold more tickets earning the team more revenue giving them more money to throw at a superstar or even keeping a young franchise QB that they pick up in this years or future drafts.

The NFL will always have the same teams contending for superbowls because there are too many followers and not enough leaders controlling these teams. Take the Patriots they had a long stretch of crappy teams then bellichick comes and runs the team different then any other team in the NFL and boom they are the team that all teams try to duplicate. Except they can't because bellichick is a leader not a follower.
