  1. While I certainly appreciate Fred Jackson, the fact is he will be paid a minimum of nearly $1.4 MILLION dollars for 3 years work after coming from a D-III school, arena ball and NFL Europe. I'd offer more like a million a year and a million SB which is a huge raise and gives him some security. Buckhalter made $1M this year and he would be paid more than other change of pace guys like MJD, JJ Arrington, Jerious Norwood etc.

     

    Guys like Lynch, McFadden and AP are currently earning $2.5 M.

  2. As a Gator fan, I find this talk interesting but premature. Tebow ought to return to UF and hire a NFL tutor to improve his release and footwork. Both JP and RJ had the size and athleticism but not the intangibles that Tebow brings. It's unlikely he will be an all pro QB at the next level but his production is unquestioned.

     

    Given our needs at backup QB, HB, FB and TE, I would take a chance on him in the 3rd round. Being on the field for 10-15 snaps per game would be solid production from a 3rd round pick. Of course, DJ is too conservative to use him effectively so the point is moot.

     

    He will likely win another Heisman and NC next year and the conversation will be the same.

  3. So did Ken Dorsey, Danny Wuerfield, Charlie Ward, Andre Ware, Ryan Leaf, and tons of other QB's in the college ranks the last 20 years...well, all except Trent Edwards who couldnt even win a game his senior year at Stanford...geezus

     

    So what's your point? You compare him to two of the all time biggest top ten busts at QB ( both top 10 picks) , a 7th round pick, a Heisman trophy winner who was so horrible he had to play 10 years in the NBA just to make a living and our last two QB's who were losers in college.

     

    Tebow in the 3rd? Short yardage- check. Wildcat-check. Are we weak at TE/HB/FB? Check. #3 QB-check. After starting at LB as a freshman in HS, Tebow could probably play backup SAM as well.

     

    Just maybe the 2 time Mr. FL football, Heisman trophy winner could be an asset. DAWG.

  4. This reminds me of the Steve Spurrier days at Florida. Remember the QB's he created that were drafted in his "Fun 'N Gun".

     

    How did all those QB's work?

     

    Not very well, as you know. I would love to hear about the Alabama QB sucess stories during the same time frame.

  5. Gas rationing, unrest in the Middle East, high mileage foreign cars. I recognized these issues as a fifth grader in the 70's.

     

    I have no sympathy for the Big 3. When Henry Ford introduced the Model T, all the good blacksmiths kept their jobs. The crappy ones had to learn a new trade.

  6. Since the draft, there's not that many holes in the roster anymore. I doubt we could get enough real value out of trading any of these guys. Sure, we could use an All Pro but Evans is the only one worthy and that would leave us with a gaping hole at #1 WR.

     

    Roscoe is replacable with Reed and McKelvin on the roster. However, I wouldn't trade a game changer for a flip tackle.

  7. I'm all for it. He's going to sign for much less than his current contract. JP becomes trade bait when someone gets injured in training camp giving us another draft pick or replacing the one we use to get Brett. TE would be ok with it. He's a smart guy and there's little humiliation being replaced by a future HOF'er. Just the value of Favre mentoring Trent might make this seem reasonable.

     

    IF:

    Favre signs, Stroud is solid, Ko comes back strong, Hardy contributes and no major injuries. We are playoff bound. Fo' Real!
