  1. Is there enough rope in the Garden State for Tebow to hang himself with ? If he comes to Jacksonville , the St Johns’ River won’t be the only thing that stinks more so, than an unshaven Frenchman who hasn’t bathed in six months . Because Tebow will stink up the joint in Jacksonville far worse than Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne combined .

    • Winning is a great deodorant, isn’t that what they say. The Jags will win more than two games with Tebow as their starter, regardless of how ugly it would look.

      I could see the Jags with 5-6 wins with Tebow as the starter, which is better than two with Gabbert and Henne.

  2. Splash on as much Old Spice and Paco Rabanne to negate the odor from the St Johns River and Everbank Field , because next season there’s no way in hell that the Jags will be able to contend with the Colts , Texans or Titans . This season within the AFC South was enough proof of that for the Jags .

    And even with the upcoming draft (2013)</a< , I still don't think that they will improve to the point where you could say they're a team on the rise . GM Gene Smith is on his way out and Mike Mularkey is feeling slightly jittery as Ken Whishenhunt was sighted with team owner Shahid Khan .

    Jaguars’ draft history and their free agents .
