But it will have people talking about it and drive more interest in the team. Even if he is cut they'll talk about it throughout the season how they were willing to bring him in and kick the tires. Yeah I guess so. There is many that do like him and will eat it up. Agree he likely won't make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is polarizing and it has people talking about the team, including you. You chose to click on a thread about Tim Tebow and express your opinion about him. That's one kind of interest that he is already driving. The original post I quoted was about watching Jags games. I'm less inclined to watch a Jags game if Tebow makes the roster. My negative interest would lead me to watch something else. Just like I never watch games with Tom Brady when he'snot playing the Bills. I was less inclined to watch the Super Bowl because he was there. 6 minutes ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: So, I won't be too quick untarping seats? 🤔 Lol, nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the AFC championship here when the Titans beat the Jags, and they fell apart after that as an organization, so I am hoping an Ohio guy like Urban brings some success back ( just not against the Bills) to the Jags and Jax and his history as a winner points to a good chance of that. I get he has left places after winning, but if you read his book he does go into life choices and some regrets he has that played a roll in those things. Hey, not many NFL head coaches stick anywhere for long as it’s the nature of the NFL. . It’s not college, but it’s football, organization and team building , and I wouldn’t bet against a known winner like Urban making a good impact. Even our own beloved HOF coach lost 4 SB’s and eventually flamed out, so this league chews up everyone in the end, but I bet Jax won’t continue to be drafting in the top 5 every year under Urban. so I just don’t see Urban flaming out as he never has before. I would also bet he has more success in the league than Saban had.

YoloinOhio Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 A likely scenario is he is a culture builder during TC and then gets cut or he makes the team in a Lee Smith type role where he’s more of a “locker room leader” who is mostly inactive on game day. He is next door neighbor to Urban, seems like they are kind of doing each other a favor here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tebow was not attempting to be controversial, at least I don't think he was. He was definitely bringing attention to himself, and there were a good number of people who were furious with him. The anti-religion groups were saying that Tebow was trying to indoctrinate everyone with his religious beliefs. Yet I never saw him do such a thing. Let's also remember that Ray Lewis in his final season was outspoken about being born again and praising Jesus after every victory, but no one said a word about his actions.

I don't hate him personally, but just don't trust people like him. I don't think Kaep was attempting to be controversial, as he quietly knelt a few games before someone made an issue of it. If he wanted controversy, he would have spoke up before his first time kneeling. I'm sure he understood that it likely would be controversial, but not sure he was looking for it. I don't remember the Ray Lewis deal, but I disliked him since he was involved in that murder in Atlanta and helped cover it up.
