BuzzyBuzzard 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.”
Buzzy Says: the rumor is that the Caldwell thing was a smoke screen. There is a Guy running around Jax Selling a framed Pix of T2 in a Jaguars jersey for $25 and if the Jags dont sign Tim he will give u your money back No I didnt buy One But they look good they are in a couple of stores and at the local Flea Market ill get my camera and try to get a pix of one with the money back thing and post it next week

Thanks for posting Buzzy. I would love to see that photo too. Do you live in Jacksonville? I used to live in Fernandina Beach Florida not far from Jacksonville.
I just hope if Tim does end up on the Jags that the team does not try to sabotage him, because some of them don’t want him there like Marcedes Lewis. Hopefully if he does join the Jags it will be because the team is behind him.
Buzzy I cannot wait to see the picture if you are able to get one.
Go TEBOW!!!!!!
‘The idiot’ might want to check out exactly what team he ends up on-he’s a lousy TE.
Interesting about the photo in a Jags uniform. Right now I’m consumed by wishing Tim anywhere but the Jests. That and hoping he gets some really good advice about his next step.
The Cardinals sounds like a refreshing place to land, not least because Larry Fitzgerald is a Tebow supporter.
Same goes for Minnesota, where Percy Harvin is a supporter.
This tells me that Fitzgerald is so much wiser than Champ Bailey. Bailey wanted a championship badly, but he gave Tebow only tepid support. Little did Bailey realize that Tebow was his ticket. Too late now. Good luck to Larry Fitzgerald.
Tim & Larry Fitzgerald were “Instructors” at a Youth Football Camp in Virginia and they got a chance to spend some time together and get to know each other. Fitz is an unabashed FAN of Tim Tebow.
In last year’s NFLNetwork Top 100 Players Voting, not only was he one of the Players who voted Tim Tebow one of the “100 Best Players” in the NFL, he voted him higher than his 90-something finish. (According to some comments he made to some in AZ, much higher.) Of course, Von Miller says Tebow is maybe one of the ten best Players in the league & it didn’t help.
Brandi, do you think Fitzgerald has seen Timmy’s weight loss and how he is progressing in Arizona? The olympic guys Timmy is working out with seem to think Timmy’s passing is awesome but I don’t know how well they understand the standards for an NFL QB. I also understand he is trying to get back to his combine speed. All this indictes to me he is still QB all the way. This would also indicate to me that he is intending to request to be released so he can start trying out for teams. If he is traded he would not have to work out for other teams, would he? It looks to me like he is getting ready for try outs, as a QB or bust.
NFL Media will, once again, be behind the 8-ball on this…BUT, beginning next year, most of the rules change on how NFL Franchises operate. The CBA gave them 2 years to get ready. But so far, I’ve not seen much indication they have. But now they’re being forced to sit down and look at their budgets for next year as they get into the off-season.
OK, here’s the nutshell. The Salary Floor will be pushed up to within a few $Million of the Salary Cap. Expect to hear ALOT about that. It means Franchises like Jacksonville that have been running far below the Cap will have to spend alot more. In Jax’s case, over a third more than this year.
But what almost certainly won’t get much press is a much bigger issue. Beginning next year, for all intents & purposes, the ONLY thing Franchises will be allowed to allocate TV money to is Player Salaries. Their ability to move money around is now severely restricted. When the rush of announcements took place at the signing of the CBA it was presented simply as an Agreement that “favored large market Teams at the expense of small market ones.” Only the British are capable of such understatement. The reality is that it KILLS small market franchises. Medium market franchises will struggle to break even. Most will. But almost every year roughly a third of NFL Franchises will now lose money…UNLESS they do something to seriously raise revenues…by alot.
The impact on Franchises is going to vary. But some may take hits as big as $30 Million -Plus a Year. SO, if you’re an NFL Owner who looks at the projected balance sheet your Finance people just brought in and it’s telling you that at the end of the year you can either write a personal check for $35 Million OR bring in Tim Tebow and put money in the bank…what would you do?
You always have interesting comments (and obviously know much more about football than I do). You’re right, didn’t know small franchises can’t use TV money for anything other than player salaries. Knew than all teams have to spent 88% of cap, never thought of where the money would come from. I get the parity part but how are the small market teams expected to survive?
Tim has to have the support of the coaching staff and the staff has to be able to design intelligent plays for his skills. He should also be learning ‘pro set’ plays and reading the defenses for them. Just using Tim like the Jets did won’t sell any extra tickets.
So I hope one of these billionaires will realize that he can have magic in a bottle IF he will do his homework. So far Elways neck is stretched longer than his teeth and Woody is just a fool.
Also weighing in on Tebow this weekend was Hall of Fame coach and former broadcaster John Madden.
In an interview with the New York Times, Madden was asked if Tebow could make it as an NFL quarterback.
Madden said: “He’s a good football player. This year was a weird year. It has to be like a sabbatical. It doesn’t count. There’s a place for him. When he was playing at Denver, I was watching him and thinking this guy can play quarterback. I’d play him at quarterback. But if he can’t play quarterback, I’d find a place for him to play. I’d have him in the game. I think he’s a gamer. Someone will have a plan for him. Now with all these spread formations, pistols and empty backfields, you can make a hybrid position for him. That’s the way football is going today. I think in the end, he’s going to be successful. Whether he’ll be a successful quarterback or not, I don’t know.”
