Yeah, buts that’s the point. It’s not fun and games. These are professionals, that’s why it looks like a publicity stunt. I can see some of the other teams laughing already.

Look out Kittle ole Tebow is gonna one up you this week.

It’s not just fun to those guys. That’s how they eat. That’s the reason some are mad. It has nothing to do with hate. It’s an embarrassment to the trade . People think pro sports is “ fun time”. That’s only if you’re sitting on your couch watching. I assure you, to these guys it’s serious business. If he somehow plays in a real game. There will be people looking to make an example . He better be good. Cause if it’s ugly, this coach will be gone fast. Laughing stock. Unless he has no intentions of keeping him. Like I said…….. stunt

Tebow doesn't seem like a guy who plays the stunt card, we'll see.

100% agree.

Tebow was a good ballplayer, and he is in good shape. Trying out in practice and some pre-season games isn't making a mockery of the sport.

I think it's a long shot he makes the final cut.

I think it's an even longer shot that he makes the final cut, and is then part of the passing playbook. If he's 100% dedicated to playing football, and he still has the discipline to be uncomfortable, and master the position and playbook and be out there at times where he's playing with pain or vs. a better opponent, - in that dream world he could project as a backup tight end.

It's a thin line. I hear they are already making Tebow Bobbleheads for a preseason giveaway...

I see they are limited edition bobbleheads and also he is a top seller in terms of jerseys for men and women along with t-shirts and kids/youth jerseys

I normally wouldn't be thinking of the Jaguars, so, good for them.


Just don't disrespect the game if he's not up to par.

People will probably tail them this year since Lawrence and Meyer are here along with Tebow so we will see how good their investments paid off

I can't believe how bad he looked on the snaps he got trying to block. He looked totally lost, like someone who never played the game and wasn't even athletic.
