The final insult for Tim, as if it hadn't already happened.

The Jets plan to take 5 QB's into training camp, none of them named Tim Tebow and one of them named Quinn. Yet they still haven't traded or released him. Why does he put up with this crap?

[ACCecil]

I think Tim should have gone to the Jags a few years ago even if it was less money and less publicity compared to NY. Publicity? Really? I hope that didn't figure in to why he went to NY.

I know the new Jags GM said they don't have plans for Tim but I believe the owner would welcoem him and if I was Tim, or Tim's agent, I'd lobby the Jags hard 24/7 for basically a no guarantee contract just as long as he got a fair shot.

If he can't hook on with the Jags, who apparently don't want him, his option are ..............................?

Not sure.

Personally, I would like to see him win the NYJ job...

Worse case scenario: The Jets keep 4-5 QBs all the way through the preseason and he's out in the final cuts. He won't have a team to practice with and will have to fight to be on somewhere as a practice player. Would the Jets deliberately hold onto that many with deliberate intentions of making sure they don't look like doofus's in mismanaging him?

Seeing last year I have to believe yes. The NFL is a cutthroat business and the New York market is the worse.

Sounds like they're trying to kill his career to cover their ass. If he isn't worth anything as a QB why not just let him go?

996, you don't think he would even be given the chance do you? I mean I was real excited when he got here but he was not treated well at all.

[GatorLaw]

I don't think he has a choice at this point. He's presumably still under contract with the Jets and they'll have to fail to renew his contract when it terminates or release him or trade him in order for him to leave. I can't imagine they won't at least try to trade him once trades are allowed and if they can't trade him surely they'll release him. Why would they keep a guy with his cap hit on the team when Rex Ryan clearly isn't going to use him?

The NFL just needs to fold up the shop on the Jags and let the rest of the teams pick over the players. The franchise is dead, the owner and GM are dolts and the city doesn't adequately support the team.

Time to do what already should have been done.

That was not an option

Shocking that another Tebow thread instantly turned into a Jags bashing thread. Don't worry about the 31 other teams that don't want Tebow, carry on like clockwork.

[ArtVandelay]

The Jets will do whatever is best for them with no regard to Tebow. I think deep down, they know he has a chance to do well elsewhere, so that is why they haven't cut him.

Amen to that!

I can't believe some of the ignorant posters that don't have a clue what is going on in Jacksonville. Some of them don't even know that there's a new GM and new owner.

The mods had to close at least one other thread because it was both a city of Jacksonville & NFL Jacksonville Jaguars bashing thread all in one.

[manigordo]

Tim Tebow is not the first elite college QB who was not a pro QB. Just because Florida fans love him does not mean that he can make it as a pro. get over it. Somehow, if it comes to that, I think Tim will.

There is no insult here.

Cecil you are a great poster but you are assuming things that are not factual in regards to Tebow and Jax. As far as I know, no one knows whether Tebow had a choice regarding Jax vs NY. The stories contradict. I've heard different things.

And if he did have a choice- it's clear that NY had a sales pitch "Come be our Wildcat QB" while Jax's was "Our coaches don't want you but the owner might because he could sell a few tickets." Which would you have taken?

(Not at Cecil.) As far as Tebow not being an NFL QB- that's another assumption that is not a fact. Didn't Tebow throw for 316 yards vs the #1 rated defense? Didn't he score 30 pts against that same D and win a playoff game? And didn't he take a team that was 1-4 and go 8-5- with 2 of those losses being to Super Bowl bound New England? Taking a last place team to the 2nd round of the playoffs SOUNDS like an NFL QB to me.

But I guess if Merrill Hoge says he isn't an NFL QB then he's not.

First, Tim is 10x more of a leader than Vince Young and the teammates who have played with him in the NFL can attest to that. If Tim gets the Young treatment then that is all anyone can expect. But right now there seems to be a series of unfortunate events that is short circuiting his audition, even with the dramatics of 2011. If Tim falls short (see Weurffel, Danny; Spurrier, Stephen) then so be it. No one is saying he is destined for NFL greatness but we are frustrated with the goings-on in the business of the NFL.

I agree. I think people are incredibly quick to assume there is a league-wide conspiracy against Tebow.

First of all, the Jet's pretty much own Tebow right now. He doesn't decide his options, they do.

The one thing I don't understand is why the Jets aren't trying to increase Tebow's trade value. If I were them, I'd be saying he's coming into camp and competing for the job. Sounds like they will probably just release him.

The deal has been made but the actual trade can't be made yet.
