Some Jaguars are Reportedly Not ‘Thrilled’ Over Tim Tebow Signing

Timmy is back, and some aren’t pleased. After a six-year hiatus, the Jaguars plan to sign the former NFL quarterback to a one-year deal, CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones confirmed. As previously reported, Tebow will play tight end for the Jaguars. It appears some in the Jaguars organization aren’t thrilled with the signing.

They feel is doesn’t send a good message.

“When you cite the resume, when you talk about all of these things, it sounds pretty wild, and that certainly is the mindset of those in the Jaguars building. Not everybody—obviously Urban Meyer is the one behind all of this—but not everybody in the Jaguars building is thrilled with this. They don’t think that it necessarily sends the proper message to the rest of the team in the locker room and the guys trying to make this team. Urban Meyer, though, is quite the opposite. They said this can be a ‘cultural jolt’ in the locker room to kind of send a message that Urban wants.

“Now, I covered Tebow pretty extensively back in 2011 and basically lived in Denver throughout that whole experience, and what I can tell you is that Tebow’s leadership might be a little bit different in the NFL than what it was in college when Urban Meyer remembered him. So, when I talk to coaches and players in the NFL, they do look at this and say, ‘If you’re looking for somebody to change culture, it’s not necessarily a guy like Tebow, especially at this point in his career.’

“So, there’s definitely some differences of opinions within Jacksonville, but hey, Urban Meyer runs the show now. So, he’ll get the chance to show that Tebow does deserve the chance in the NFL—something obviously other people don’t necessarily think he does.”

Urban Meyer is the only coach in the league who would even give Tim a look.

Why not just hire him on the coaching staff? Wouldn’t that make much more sense.

Don’t blame anyone who’s upset over this Tebow signing buffoonery.
