"fake" fans for a "fake" team

The Bucs have a great stadium, though.

I remember that, seems like I saw it on TV three or four years ago.

Believe me, NFL is a sport on the rise over here - a lot of Brits are extraordinarily passionate about it. Wembley will be sold out for both the games in 2013 yet again, without doubt. British people regardless of ethnic or religious background would welcome a franchise if it comes to that.

Will they sing non-stop throughout Jags games ?

Tebow may not be the answer in J-ville. However, his PRO record is FAR FAR FAR BETTER than 2-14 which is the record of this year's J-ville QB's. One CANNOT ARGUE that.
Tebow took a team that was 1-4 last year. During his time as starter, he brought a team from the worst in NFC West to the NFC West Champs with a 7-4 record as starter. Was his passing pretty? No. But, did he bring his team to the playoffs? Yes. How many QBs in the NFL get their teams to the playoffs any year? Exactly 12. Tebow is 1/12 to make the playoffs. How many QBs played in the first round of the playoffs last year? 8 QBs played in the first round of the playoffs last year. How many left after the first game? 4 QBs lost in the first round. Was Tebow one of the losers? No. He won his first round playoff game. That means that his Playoff record is 1-1.
How many playoff games have Gabbert or Henne won? ZERO - 0!!!!

Alex Smith is 1-1 in the playoffs as well, and NO BODY really thinks A. Smith is a great QB.

Tebow was 7-4 regular season last year and 1-1 playoffs for a record of 8-5.
Tebow has 3 other starts and was 1-2.
Total reg. season record 8-6 playoff 1-1. Full record - 9-7. That is a winning record. What have the other guys done?

I fail to believe that there are 32 QBs in the NFL that can do better than Tebow. Just my opinion, and we all know what opinions are worth - but that is mine.

It doesn't get much wear and tear. Good for resale value.

Rex Ryan made it clear that Tim is under contract to the New York Jets. It's a heckuva situation for Timmy. He may have to retire from the NFL to regain his freedom. After having a run in with Rex Ryan, I don't see Timmy in a Jets uniform ever again.

Maybe it is off to the CFL? It worked for Warren Moon and Doug Flutie.

Whatever, it's easy to be a "real" fan in front of your tv with nothing invested.

Plus, it's easy.

Passing on Tim in the draft, signing bust after bust, (kicker anyone), drafting Blaine Suck Fest. An easier obviously shorter list would be what have the Jags done right?

It's ok if you feel sorry for me. I couldn't really imagine living anywhere else.

Jacksonville will not have a team for to much longer maybe one more year if that

Do you really think I'd be that adamant arguing with you if I wasn't a season ticket holder? I'll let you think long and hard about this one...

g8rfan22 · 01-10-2013, 06:39 PM

Jags aren't going anywhere..There are other teams who have been just as bad for just as long.

Don't take it too hard please..I still have relatives in Jax, and my wife grew up there. This whole thing with Tebow has me emotional.. I'm just lashing out, kinda like Chris Rainey I guess...

We'll just agree to disagree on Tebow but the other problems are on the previous administration/ownership.
