Rumors are for the stupid believers who don’t understand NFL ecomonics & staffer team realities. Tebow will be a Jaguar down the road, just not now!

The very day that the Jets announced that they signed Tebow, I said that the Jaguars are headed to L.A. The reason why is because if you wanted to sell tickets and jerseys in Middle Florida, you sign Tebow. That’s elementary!

But if you want to keep the Jaguars down enough to warrant leaving, you stay as far away from Tebow as possible. And that’s what they are doing. Tim Tebow is Mr. Football in Florida. When the Miami Dolphins take time out to recognize your incredible contribution to football in the state of Florida- while you are walking around in the opposing team’s uniform- and the crowd goes wild… uh, you are walking football money in Florida.

And you walk away from that to prop up Blaine Gabbert? You want to leave.

Isn’t the Jets personal punt protector on pace to allow a record number of blocked punts this year? Maybe they will give the Jags Tebow AND a couple of draft picks just to get rid of him!

While the logic of the Jags not wanting him so they can comfortably move to LA seems to make sense, it falls apart when you consider Tebow is really bad and they probably just don’t want him.

I also notice a pattern of Jags to LA conspiracy theorists being fans of the Raiders, who might themselves be moving down south.

Jax could try and get him now because his value has had to of dropped since the beginning of the season… Maybe?

Sounds like the news team on Anchorman. Looks like, WHAMMY! Someone got into the vodka and made up a big one for the evening news.

IF the Jets could get something for Tebow they should take it. Hard to imagine he has any trade value at all.

If its not a story about tarps, blackouts, Los Angeles, or London, it’s a Tebow trade rumor.

I liked it better when the national media ignored my Jags…

I’d rather the Jags trade MJD to the Jets for picks. Jacksonville needs a new GM and build through the draft.

The Jags have Blaine and even the most unintelligent casual fan can see the progress he’s making. Now OL give the man time to drop back and scan and WRs catch the ball! That goes for you also Marcedes “Two left hands” Lewis.

The Jets probably started this rumor. They obviously don’t know how to use him. His play for the most part is limited to punt team.

This sounds like wishful thinking on the jests part. They are a mess with cap problems, bad karma, crummy contracts and two QBs on the roster that are laughable.

Way to go jets! Keep up the good work-
signed- the AFC East

If they did trade for Tebow, it would mean they’re staying in Jacksonville.

I believe this is a massive Kahn job though and the team will be moving soon.

Hes not good enough to overtake the 30th ranked QB whose been awful for the better part of 4 years…but he’s too good to consider trading for help down the road for a laughing stock franchise? Makes sense.

I wish they would just come out and say “He is here to sell tickets” and stop insulting our intelligence.

This is the primary trade that should happen for the entirety of the NFL. But they won’t do it because the owner in Jax wants to move the Jags to LA.
