Jacksonville Lawyer buys Tebow ads.... (2 Viewers)

[B-Deep]

The White House wanted nothing to do with a petition aimed at compelling the Jacksonville Jaguars to hire Tim Tebow. But Jacksonville-area TV and radio stations will have no quarrels with cashing checks used to purchase advertisements arising from the same plea.

Orlando-based lawyer John Morgan has developed an ad aimed at cajoling Jaguars owner Shahid Khan into signing Tebow.

The spot has been posted by the Orlando Sentinel.

“I’m John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan, and I wanna talk Tebow for one minute. Here’s the evidence. Tim Tebow played on two national championship teams. He won the Heisman as the best college player in the country and was drafted in the first round by the Denver Broncos. Somebody knew somethin’. And after he got his only chance to start, the Broncos were 1-4 and he led them to the AFC playoffs, and beat Pittsburgh.

“The Jaguars are 27-42 in the last five years, one of the worst records in NFL history. And more in store for this year. We can’t even fill an entire end zone.

“Tebow is one of us. He has class, character, and he’s a winner. Let’s win, Mr. Khan. Once upon a time, so-called experts probably doubted your potential, and now look at you.

“Give our guy a shot. I’ll even buy that box your tried to sell me. Remember this: You can’t TiVo Tebow. Let’s do this Mr. Khan. For the people. Let’s win.”

Khan would likely be inclined to give it a try, but he has entrusted the football operation to a General Manager who has made it clear that none of the clocks in Jacksonville ever will be set to Tebow Time.

Instead, the Jaguars will go forward with Blaine Gabbert, Chad Henne, Matt Scott, and Jordan Rodgers at quarterback.When looking at it that way, maybe Morgan has a point.

It comes down to Blaine or Tebow... I will take my chances with Tebow and a packed stadium for a year and then be in position to draft the #1 QB available in next years draft.

[DeaLerZ]

yea it really is pretty crazy that a team doesn't have the balls to take a chance on Tebow... the guy has all of the intangibles, but just needs to improve on his accuracy... he might have one of the craziest fan bases behind him that I have ever seen.. but how is that bad for a GM trying to fill the seats?? especially if he has the capability of taking a team to the playoffs in his basically his rookie year... and his numbers were not horrible either, nor did he turn the ball over a lot i think the owners of these teams are afraid Tebow will be bigger than they are because he essentially already is.. have you ever heard of a player having a petition sent to the white house by his fans to get the team to sign him?? and no i am not a Tebow fan or anything.. but the guy has done nothing wrong to anyone, is fun to watch... and at the very least deserves a second chance

Henne and Gabbert are both better NFL QB's than Tebow. The Jags don't have the kind of defense to pull off what the Bronco's did with him.

its a recipe for disaster.

If Tebow comes in and guides your team to the worst record in the NFL, I don't think he will have the amount of supports you think he will, even in Jacksonville.

The bigger issue, and what Jacksonville is probably afraid of, is that he takes a 2-14 team and improves them to 7-9.

That's exactly it I think...everyone agrees he isn't a great qb and isn't going to be some sort of long term franchise qb. So he comes in, brings the circus, maybe wins a few games and then you have to cut him...you just have to.

So all these people saying sign him because he will fill the seats for one year...what's the point. If i am the gm i am looking long term. I'm not looking at one year...if someone isn't gonig to take you to the superbowl why add him to the mix??? Especially becaue i think everyone on here seems to recognize that jax would draft a top qb next year and have to cut tebow anyway.

 

[offdee]

He just needs to agree to the position change already, and have an under the table agreement of some sort to never speak of wanting to play QB and his future and passion is now at TE or FB.

Add a great leadership presence to the locker room, able to get him on the field for a handful of plays a game (as a TE or FB/H-Back), get the crowd hyped and sell some tickets.

is anyone on their roster going to take them to the superbowl?

7-9 and selling out seems like a lot of upside for this team

and if he is 3-13 cutting him will be no big deal, it is only a "problem" if :gasp: they win games

he's been cut by 2 other teams, they survived

if he is your backup then yeah, he is a distraction. If he is your starter you see what he can do and if the answer is nothing you draft a QB early and at least have some revenue coming in

And jerseys and probably quite a bit of other merchandise that might not get sold otherwise. I understand teams not wanting the distraction but if I am a team that is bad enough but still wants to have a packed crowd and still wants to have TV interest, taking a shot at him seems like a no brainer.

If I were a Canadian team I would take him in a heartbeat just with the hope that his fan base garnered some additional TV interest.

Henne and Gabbert are both better NFL QB's than Tebow. The Jags don't have the kind of defense to pull off what the Bronco's did with him.

Broncos defense was 24th in the NFL after Tebow took over. Jacksonville was 29th last year. Not a huge difference.

I don't see what the harm is in bringing this guy in for a year. The Jags QB of 2014 is not currently on their roster anyhow. Would you rather go 5-11 with empty seats and a team no one ever talks about or go 5-11 with lots of tickets sold and tons of media buzz? If they suck this year, then you don't re-sign him and bring in a 1st round rookie.

The biggest "risk" is that they go 7-9 or 8-8, just good enough for the fans to want to hold on to Tebow. But really, this Jags team has no business going 8-8 so if they do that then maybe there's more to this Tebow thing than just blind luck.

They have brought in a complete new set of football people and the owner is letting the football people make decisions to build a team THEIR WAY.

The biggest risk is you set a precedent of an owner overriding a young GM and bringing in somebody he wants. You have a young GM and a first-time head coach. Neither wants Tebow on his resume.

Two-part question for you:

- what do you think the Jaguars' attendance was last year(when they went 2-14 a year after going 5-11)?

- How many blackouts do you think the Jaguars had last year? Year before?

The Jaguars' 2012 home attendance numbers rank 21st in the league in both average number of people attended and average percentage of the stadium filled.

i believe the percentage does not include tarped off seats

 

[B-Deep]

and no blackouts since the year they had 4

 

[B-Deep]

Lets see the owners take on their attendance:

For some home games the Jaguars are blacked out on local television in Jacksonville because they haven’t sold out their stadium, and other times the blackout is lifted because the game is designated a sellout. But even those “sellouts” are played in a stadium that’s far from full.

New Jaguars owner Shad Khan has ambitions for the franchise to reach the point when a sold out stadium means a full stadium.

Presently, the Jaguars put tarps over almost 10,000 seats at EverBank Field and say the official capacity is about 67,000. Without the tarps, the capacity is nearly 77,000. And for major events like the annual Georgia-Florida game, EverBank Field uses additional bleachers and seats 84,000. The Jaguars have a long way to go before they’re drawing the kinds of crowds that Georgia and Florida draw, but Khan says that’s the goal.

Asked by Sports Business Journal if he wants to get rid of the tarps, Khan said, “Absolutely.”

“To me, every day I look at the tarps it is like underachieving, and I can’t wait to be able to do that,” Khan said.

There’s an argument to be made that the tarps aren’t really a sign of a problem in Jacksonville: Even with the tarps, the Jaguars regularly have more fans at EverBank Field than, for instance, the Bears have at Soldier Field. But Khan is an ambitious man, and he doesn’t want to accept any excuses for the Jaguars’ attendance record. He wants a fan in every seat.

So why aren't people calling on 11 other teams to sign Tebow in order to sell tickets?

People get so hung up on the tarps. Even with the tarps, the capacity is right in the middle of NFL stadiums (around 67,000). They had two games where they untarped two sections last year.

They averaged 7,500 more fans than the Dolphins and almost 10,000 more than the Bucs.

But all you hear is the national media talk about is the Jags attendance problems.

I think they had determined that the long term health of the team is more important than bringing in a one year circus to town who will sell some jerseys but not much else...I think that is a very valid stance anyway you cut.

Sure you could try him out but there is very little incentive to go after him.

Khan/Caldwell/Gus want to build the brand and develop a winning franchise. Winning is what sells tickes.

it also probably plays in that the jags are among the most unpopular national teams

as i recall they are in the bottom 2 or 3 most years in merchandise sales

if they are concerned about winning too much this season, then yeah, stand pat

Not really shocking that a losign team in the smallest metro market is last in merchandise sales.

Again, a winning team drives merchandise sales. Merchandise sales is why he opted for the London gig. Jaguars have exclusive marketing in London.

yeah

Tebow is a gimic but London is about building for the future

the point is the smallest metro market and the smallest merchandise sales do not make it a particulalry attractive place for an owner to keep a team

there's not a real cost to seeing if Tebow gives you a bump, unless you have predetermined he cannot play QB and he leads the team to 8-8 and you don;t have the stones to replace him anyway.

If the jags fans are who you want, not tebow fans long term, then replace him and who cares. At least you got a year out of him. The downside to Tebow is the jags win too much this year, that's counter to the only goal being to win.

if he is 3-13 can his ### an no jags fans care

Hypothetical:

What if you knew that bring Tebow in would increase your attendance from 21st to like 15th. Same for merchandise...from the bottom 2 or 3 to say 20th and won like 4-5 games...

Is he still not worth it even if its for one season?

Tebow hurts your long-term chance of winning because some Tebowites are never satisfied.

You can't just bring him in. They wouldn't stand for it if he didn't start.

If he starts and stinks, you can't bench him because that just isn't fair.

If he's benched, you can't cut him because that's just not fair either.

They're set up for a last chance with Gabbert this year with a better o-line and maybe a couple mroe weapons. If he stinks, they get a shot at Clowney or whoever is the hot QB next year.

wouldn't those same tebowites be pissed you did not try him?

are you saying their strong fanbase now is so fragile that cutting or benching tebow would harm them?

if so what will 2-14 with gabbert do?

I'm done. It ain't happening. Move on.

I'll wager the jets attendance does not take a major tebow hit this year, and look what he brought them by never playing

Totally agree. Love him, hate him or don't care about him he makes a TON of sense for the Jags for various reasons in the thread, IMHO.

I'm not saying it will or will not happen and I dont care either way but it would make sense.

IF they feel they are on the edge of contending then i agree, don't mess with the distraction. I just don;t see them as at that point.
