Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis
I Don't Want Tim Tebow
on My Team!


http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/01/27/012713-mercedes-lewis-tebow-launch-2.jpg

"The Jacksonville Jaguars only won two games last season and are in DESPERATE need of help at quarterback, but tight end Marcedes Lewis wants no part of Tim Tebow.

Tebow's future with the New York Jets is tenuous at best and most experts think the team will send him packing this offseason.

And while the GM of the Jags has already come out and said he doesn't see Tebow joining his hometown team, Lewis hammered the point home last night in Hollywood ... telling our photog, "We need a guy that's going to put us over the hump right now. Not a project."

Might time for Tim to brush up on his typing skills."

If you click on the link though you'll hear the exact words from Lewis.

[Lawdog88]

Is the point there are dumb-a$$es with opinions playing in the NFL . . . or what ?

[Jaggator]

Is the point there are dumb-a$$es with opinions playing in the NFL . . . or what ?

Yes, I have no problem with another player's opinion but he could have shown a lot more class saying no comment to the reporter or photog from TMZ..."Our GM makes those decisions."

[luciaboy]

i don't want lewis on the jags. he is an overpaid blocker that cannot catch a cold

[wci347]

Lewis has 21 touchdowns in 8 years. Hernandez who was TT's TE in college has 18 in 3 years. Who is the real project?

[gator1986]

i don't want lewis on the jags. he is an overpaid blocker that cannot catch a cold

Yea he's not even good?!? He was horrible on my fantasy team! I dropped his ass for Pitta of the ravens and he sucks too! So I guess that means Lewis is horrible!

[ETGator1]

If I were Jags management, I'd cut him immediately. Who is he to make such comments about any player in the NFL? He's a prime example of what is wrong with the Jets starting with the HC down. Jags, cut the scumbag before he creates team troubles in Jax.

[Jaggator]

i don't want lewis on the jags. he is an overpaid blocker that cannot catch a cold

Agreed. The most overpaid/overrated tight end in the NFL. Lewis certainly needs a PR course if he ever wants to endear himself to the fans in Jacksonville.

[Jstewie15]

Yeah Marcedes is overrated he's the slowest Te in nfl. He can't catch either.

[CSpantheGatorFan]

Just a dumber, more classless way of saying what the ownership is saying apparently.

[malscott]

I know this doesn't sound politically correct, but what a fkin retard! He should just quit the game all together.

[superman2318]

Cause tim would be in his face about his half ass effort he gives

[UF_HOSS]

he is one reason the Jags SUCK......lack of talent and lack of real football players......oh yea, and smart ones also......which the fore mention TE scores a 0 for 3 in those areas.

[gatorjlm]

loser comment from a loser player on a loser team/organization...nuff said

[NoahBeanBizzel]

Again, he doesn't have to want to have Tebow as the Jags' starting QB, I just don't understand why the media has to-once again-blow comments like these up. They just feed off the drama.

It's really sad. Not to say that Lewis doesn't have a right to his own opinion, I just don't get why every three months we have to hear more negative comments directed at Tim.

[Spurffelbow833]

Tim isn't going to get an even shake in any locker room until he gets a DUI, takes on a few child support payments, maybe pays for an abortion or two. He doesn't have to publicly renounce his beliefs or anything. It's all good. He can still say loud prayers into microphones. It's OK for him to talk the talk, but that walkin' the walk stuff has got to go.

[Swampmaster]

lewis---another overpaid bust on the jaguars roster, which is filled with these losers who show up just to collect their obscene salary, but do nothing when it matters.

[JohnC1908]

I've been advocating the release of Lewis for two years now. Hopefully he doesn't make it through camp. He's been worthless since getting the big contract.

[Norcaligator]

Jags should trade Lewis for Tebow. He'd fit right in with that Jets locker room.

[gator85jd]

Lewis knew his comments would make news . . . the only way he's going to make the news. He's been a bust since the day he stepped foot in Jacksonville.

[Gatuar]

It's TMZ relax....

My dad calls Lewis "Chief Stonehands"

[dawny]

Maybe Lewis is worried that TT never played TE may take his job one day,I am tired of all the black players who have done nothing talking about TT, if a white player said the same about a black QB he would be out of this league, look a Colin at 49ers never had a chance look what he did , Wilson at Seahawks, how stupid are some of these player omaybe racial,get real,maybe TT will not make it but he did a good start in Denver,doesnt any Owner or HC in the NFL have a set of Balls.

[SkyChimp]

Marcedes Lewis as a football player isn't even worth the flesh he's printed on... Stop looking for the speck in others' eyes when you have a plank in your own eye Lewis.

[cocodrilo]

Isn't everyone in the NFL overpaid? I don't think I've ever seen him play (the Jags don't keep me glued to the TV), but I wouldn't criticize Lewis for being overpaid.

[gymgator]

Tebow has more wins as an NFL starter in half a season than the Jags have had in the last two years...but Tebow is the project?

Plenty of the criticism of Tebow are fair, but when people start with, he's awful, he's the worst, he can't throw, etc. I zone out as you just don't want to have a serious conversation.

[SkyChimp]

Lewis knew his comments would make news . . . the only way he's going to make the news. He's been a bust since the day he stepped foot in Jacksonville.

Lewis was clearly trolling the media with this. You are right!

[Gatorrick22]

Message to Lewis: It ain't your team dumba$$ - and you might not be on that team next year either. :punk:

[wygator]

One of the late night hosts joked that Camille Belle broke up with Tebow because she caught him not cheating with another woman.

[Bazza]

Sorry but I've never heard of this loser......

Who is he again?

:bored:

[Gatorphenom]

Sorry but I've never heard of this loser......

:bored:

Exactly the point my friend. Exactly.

[jaxg8r]

Common theme. Play well and sign big contract. Then mail it in. Tony Brackens revisited.

[gator85jd]

Has Marcedes ever played well? He had one season (2010, I think) where he did okay -- 10 TDs. Other than that, he's been a classic underachiever. Under Shack Harris, Gene Smith and JDR, that was okay. I hope Khan's regime flushes this turd down the toilet.

[kalaniocc]

F this guy.

[raycgator]

Alligator arms Lewis

[mikehev]

When the Jags 2nd highest profile player can only make the news by talking about Tim Tebow, that tells me the Jags really would do themselves a favor by getting Tim Tebow.

In Christ forever,
Mike
John 3:16

[Gatorrick22]

Mercedes Lewis........ runs more like a Yugo.

[VanNoord]

I don't usually laugh at people's fantasy draft picks, but Lewis inspires much merriment IF he's picked.

[1984Gator]

Says another ignorant broke soon to be "has been" without any ownership in a team at all!

Classless!

[RayGator]

No doubt the Jags should take Tebow and dump the jerk, Lewis!

[gatorr4life]

Another jag I don't like, awesome. (MJD) and I use to be a season ticket holder. I miss the slim, yet awesome years..... Brunell (lefty) and Freddie T., crushing Dan Marino... Etc.

I feel like we're the Vandy of the NFL. Lol here's to making a come
-back....! Go Jags! :( lol

[gatorev12]

Tebow has more wins as an NFL starter in half a season than the Jags have had in the last two years...but Tebow is the project?

Plenty of the criticism of Tebow are fair, but when people start with, he's awful, he's the worst, he can't throw, etc. I zone out as you just don't want to have a serious conversation.

This.

The Jags are my default hometown team and I do my best to support them (though my Gators come first)--but I have to admit, it's hard given the fact that 90% of the team's players are grade-A douchebags who think they've "made it" in the NFL simply because they're starting on one of the worst teams in the league.

The only reason Lewis is paid as much as he is--is solely due to the fact Gene Smith was easily the WORST GM in recent NFL history...not because of any skill on Lewis' part. As you said, the bigger "project" is investing in Lewis, not Tebow.

Honestly, the Jags' front office deserves all the ridicule they get for not embracing Tebow as a part of their roster. If there's ONE thing that would energize and create a buzz about the fanbase, it'd be to get Tebow on the team. How many church-going Christians who have little to no connection to the NFL, but have suddenly become interested solely due to Tebow have shelled out $$ to buy Broncos--and Jets gear? How much of that pie could have been going to the Jaguars' instead?? When they desperately needed it?!

[gatorr4life]

Well said, rev. Preach! No,seriously... Well said.

[elrongator]

I found it hilarious that a guy literally on my fantasy football do not ever pick up for any reason list comes out and trashes Tebow.
Hey Marcedes, you suck and your mother obviously can't spell....it's Mercedes.
What a dumb ass.

[gatormoe1]

"Might time for Tebow to brush up on his typing skills"

Oh the irony.

[Spurffelbow833]

One of the late night hosts joked that Camille Belle broke up with Tebow because she caught him not cheating with another woman.

It's probably true.

[Spurffelbow833]

It's a girl's name anyway.

[Go2gtr]

Meat head...dead from the neck up.

[cocodrilo]

Hey Marcedes, you suck and your mother obviously can't spell....it's Mercedes.


I've often wondered why doctors or nurses or whoever records birth info at hospitals don't point out to a parent the correct spelling of the newborn's name (e.g. it's Mercedes not Marcedes, Isaiah not Isiah, Antoine not Antwan), in case the parent might want to know and for the good of the child. Does anyone know?

It must be a pain to go through life having to give people your name and having to "correct" them when they spell it correctly.

Seems to me like such advice would be a matter of courtesy. But apparently instead of being helped out, a newborn's parent is simply asked, "How do you want it spelled?" If the parent says "Correctly," then the doctor or nurse writes down the name as "Correctly" (if he or she can spell it).

[largartos]

Who? Never heard of him. Must be a wannabe. What an idiot!

[Go2gtr]

I though misspelling of names was intentional in some cases. Like a statement of not conforming to white society's norms. Probly a Too Hot type of comment, but no harm intended.

[Eggy21]

You guys are overreacting even more than the media would. Lewis, weather an idiot or not has the right to his opinion, if he doesn't want Tebow on his team, he can say that, it's his right. I'm sure he's not the only one, I think some other Jaguar said something similar a couple years ago. Plus lets be real, is Tebow even going to help them at all, besides in ticket and merchandise sales? No. That team is more than a QB away.

[tilly]

Cut him some slack ....

If you had a girly name and mediocre stats you'd be grumpy too.

[LimeyGator]

No story here. He's entitled to his opinion.

I hope Timmy proves him wrong.

[cocodrilo]

I though misspelling of names was intentional in some cases. Like a statement of not conforming to white society's norms.

That has occurred to me, but I fail to see how intentionally misspelling, for example, a biblical Hebrew name (Isaiah) is not conforming to white society's norms.

[ajjaxgator]

Thanks for sharing your bile, ML. Verbal droppings from the HIGHEST PAID (9mil) Jag. I could effin shoot Clean Gene.

[GeauxGators05]

Lewis is a nobody and who cares what he thinks? Really....does his opinion matter to anyone except maybe his Mama's? The Jags may well be the worst team in Pro football and I hope Tebow doesn't get stuck in that dumpster fire anyway...

[geauxgator1]

You guys are overreacting even more than the media would. Lewis, weather an idiot or not has the right to his opinion, if he doesn't want Tebow on his team, he can say that, it's his right.

Sure it's his right. And we have the right to "overreact" as you suggest a lot of us are doing. I think he's a total a$$clown trying to get some attention. Imo getting Tebow would go along way to getting the Jags back on track, getting some positive energy into the franchise. Let's be real as you like to say, whatever they've been doing has been a total disaster. Cutting Marcedes or whatever his name is, would be another step in the right direction.
