Tim Tebow was spotted at the Falcons vs. Buccaneers game yesterday afternoon in Tampa, FL. He was seen chilling in one of the skyboxes.
Since Tebow is from Jacksonville, this makes me wonder if Timmy is a Bucs fan or a Jaguars fan? In the picture taken of Tebow at the game, he wasn’t wearing a Bucs shirt so it’s hard to say if he was just there to enjoy an afternoon of professional football or if he was there to cheer on his favorite NFL team. Hmmmm?
Maybe Tebow was there to check out the stadium and the facilities? The Bucs would love to tank it next year and grab a franchise quarterback in Tebow (assuming he leaves after his junior year). Tebow staying in the state of Florida would be the best thing for him. He’d be close to his family, UF, and all the Tebow maniac fans.
I would love to see him play for the jags. The bucs would be lame…
The Jaguars would make an excellent fit for Tebow when he jumps, for a few reasons:
1. They have many more ex-UF players than the Bucs, so Tebow would get welcomed into the fold almost immediately.
2. Unlike Nease and the Gators, the Jags have a franchise running back to take pressure off of Tebow’s running. In fact, they have two (Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor)
3. As a Jacksonville native, he would be readily welcomed by many of the same fans who cheered him at UF, similar to LeBron James in the NBA.
4. He has a great chance to create some of his own history with the organization, in contrast to the Bears, Packers, Cowboys, and some of the other older teams.
5. He can spend a year or two backing up David Garrard while learning what it takes to succeed in the pros. He wouldn’t necessarily have to do too much too soon.
The biggest drawback to being there would be that they are in the AFC South, the Colts’ division. So even though Tebow may miss the playoffs the first few years while Manning makes it, the balance of power could shift when #18 retires.
He was at the game just having fun. He was with my brother.
and hopefully by the time manning retires fred taylor will realize he’s washed up
