All-purpose, running Tim Tebow sucks/is a deity thread!

Egypt, Syria, Turkey, China, N. Korea....you want links? I can provide links.
People are killed daily for their Christian beliefs...how is that not persecution?

**EDIT** Sorry, should have read further down...saw the others already answered this.

 

What if Tebow signs to play in an Egyptian football league? Persecuted in America, so went to Egypt where he is free to express his unconventional religion and ineffective throwing form?

 

If his starting center is named Moses, he'd probably run riot on keepers.

 

Reason No. 1,475 the national media will rip on Jacksonville:

About a dozen yahoos show up at the stadium for a rally demanding the Jaguars sign Tebow. Two things:

1. The Jaguars team, coaches and front office staff weren't even there. They had long decided to stay out west after the Raiders game and practice there, since they're on the road against Seattle on Sunday. So they protested to a couple of $10 an hour ticket people and a janitor.

2. Final proof that it's not Jaguars fans demanding Tebow. It's nowhere near a decent percentage of Jaguars fans. It's a few loud, obnoxious Gators fans who clog up the message boards and talk radio lines, live in the past and refuse to admit their Boy God can't play on the NFL level and the Jaguars are under some kind of obligation to sign one more shitty player.

 

What does Alex Jones think of this?

 

Hondo, there are always dumb fans thinking and doing dumb things for every sports team on earth. But when an NFL team scores 11 points in two games, it's inviting nut jobs. The problem for the Jags isn't that these people are proposing an insane idea, it's that they might represent the only fans left. I was there this weekend. People where I was were bitching that they had to watch the Jags game instead of other NFL action.

 

If they keep sucking for another couple of weeks, it wouldn't be a bad idea. They're probably headed for blowing that thing up and starting over anyway, so they might as well use whatever gimmick they can to keep interest in this season.

But 0-2 is too soon.

 

I could have walked into a bar in Medford, Mass., in 1991 and found the same.
The problem with the Jaguars is they are not only bad, but also the worst thing an NFL team can be - achingly dull.
And have been dull to watch for a good 10 years.

 

In 1991, 3 Oct, the question in my town was where the Patriots would move, not if. Things do change, but it takes a smart owner, a good coach, and a good quarterback, not necessarily in that order. The Jags may have a smart owner, but that's as far as I'd go.

 

There are two things keeping Tebow off a NFL roster, for now...

His unwillingness to play another position.
The sideshow.

Is he a good NFL QB? No... But he's better than a lot of the guys on NFL rosters. Those guys don't bring the sideshow.

I'd love it if the Jaguars signed Tebow, because it would give people a reason to watch a team that is unwatchable, and with the possible exception of the winless Lions from a few years back, one of the worst NFL teams in the last decade.

Tebow got his chance with the Pats and couldn't make the most of it, so I'm fine with whatever happens at this point, but I do feel sorry for him from the standpoint that if Rex Ryan had been up front about not wanting anything to do with Tebow, Tebow could have gone to the Jags, instead of the Jets, when the Broncos traded him. The owner wanted him, the coach did not. That's an ongoing trend in Tebow's career.

 

Don't be silly Michael. They haven't had a blackout in four years. Those weren't their ONLY fans.

 

The people protesting aren't Jaguars fans. They're Tebow and/or Gators fans.

That said, at this point, the Jags should take fans any way they can get them.
