14, 2012, was the last NFL game Tebow was ever allowed to start. No shame losing that badly to Brady and Belichick. That miraculous run ended just six days after Tebow threw for 316 yards in that playoff win, with the Broncos having to travel on a short week to New England, where Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and the 13-3 Patriots waited, coming off a bye. In 2011, Tebow led the NFL in QBR in the last five minutes of games. In those 12 games, Tebow accomplished the greatest sustained run of clutch late-game playmaking by any quarterback ever. In Tebow’s second season, he got thrown into a 1-4 dumpster fire and somehow lifted the Broncos to an AFC West championship and an overtime playoff victory over Ben Roethlisberger’s Steelers. Tebow was a first-round pick - taken 25th overall by a highly respected offensive mind, Josh McDaniels, who had coached and called plays for Tom Brady. Tim Tebow becoming a Jacksonville Jaguar would only be the latest example.Tebow, pictured accepting the 2007 Heisman Trophy with Florida coach Urban Meyer, was one of the most decorated quarterbacks in college football history. And that’s NFL teams sometimes just make stupid moves that make no sense. Nonetheless, when it becomes official, it reminds us of one thing. So there’s a chance this whole deal falls through. The Jaguars have yet to officially ink Tebow. However, he’s proven he can play the position at a high level. Is he the best Tight End available? Not necessarily. Tebow receiving another chance in the NFL at this stage is a slap in the face to those guys.
And it’s because of that bond that Tebow can leapfrog so many more deserving players than him. They’ve won national titles together, and Meyer also coached Tebow to winning the Heisman Trophy in 2007. Meyer coached Tebow at the University of Florida. It’s Tebow’s former college coach, Urban Meyer. Well, who is the coach of the Jaguars? That’s right! While Tebow hasn’t played an NFL snap since 2012, he’s never played an NFL snap as a tight end. And that’s who you know matters more than how good you are. Secondly, Tebow potentially signing with the Jaguars proves one thing. And it had nothing to do with skill, but because people didn’t like their attitudes or stance on social injustice issues. Yet, he gets another shot while guys like Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, and even Colin Kaepernick found themselves out of the league prematurely. Tim Tebow has proven he’s not a good NFL player. While it’s not a discussion I plan to engage in, it’s hard to ignore. Firstly, Tebow getting another shot opens the discussion about privilege. And there are so many things alarming about it. Heck, these numbers scream scrub, regardless of the level of football played. Again, by league standards, that’d make him a bonafide scrub. If you conversed with someone about Tebow and heard those numbers, it’s safe to surmise you’d wonder which season Tebow tallied those totals. He threw for 2,422 yards, 17 touchdowns, 12 rushing touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Outside of a stroke of extreme luck in the 2011 NFL playoffs, Tebow has had no success in the NFL. You can think of any non-sexy adjective to describe Tebow’s NFL career, and it’s applicable. Tebow was borderline trash, by league standards.
Tebow didn’t touch the field with those teams for one reason and one reason only. And this was after signing deals with the New England Patriots (2012) and Philadelphia Eagles (2015), respectively. After all, as mentioned above, Tebow’s last NFL snap was in 2012.
When news broke of Tebow’s interest in playing for the Jaguars, I didn’t think much of it. The NFL Network is reporting that the Jacksonville Jaguars plan to sign Tebow to a one-year deal. However, at the age of 33, Tebow is close to an NFL return.Īnd this time, he’ll be playing tight end. Then, as a member of the New York Jets, Tebow played in one snap during a 28-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills. His last appearance was on December 30th, 2012. Tim Tebow hasn’t taken an NFL snap in nearly nine years.
