Lol, cheers bud.
And yes, they're doing well. In fact, decided to get into New England summer spirt and have a lobster boil....

What's the big deal with this?
If he is good enough, he makes the roster. If not, no harm no foul. They don't lose a scholarship, just a contract they felt was worth the shot. My cousin did this 3 or 4 years after he last played. He never made another roster but teams kept bringing him back because he had been good. He had knee surgery and never got over it.
I don't see the downside of bringing him in. First, he has run Urban's offense so what better resource for Trevor to have then someone who has been there and done that. Second, can any of you name the starting tight end for the Jaguars last year without Googling it? I know I couldn't. Answer - Tyler Eifert, who the Jaguars did not resign. James O'Shaughnessey is second team tight end. They drafted a TE in the 5th round from Ohio State who played for Urban and signed Chris Manhertz this offseason. Both of these guys are blocking tight ends. Tebow, potentially, offers an offensive option that Manhertz and the OSU kid do not. The other TE's on the roster are Ben Ellefson and Tyler Davis—both who were rookies last year who caught a combined one reception. Third, it puts butts in the seats and sells tickets/merchandise.
I don't think there is a downside - but I don't really believe there is an upside either. I live in the Jacksonville TV market and I tried to become a fan when I first moved here in 2000 - but they are a horribly run organization. If Tebow ends up contributing at TE, it is a comment more about the lack of talent on the roster and they will not improve on their 1-15 record from last year. And that is not meant as a knock on Tebow. I would have loved to have been athletic enough at 34 (or any age for that matter) to attempt something this crazy. But, if you took away the name and said "the Jags starting TE is a 34 year old former QB who has been out of the NFL for 9 years and never played the position before" - you would laugh your ass off and say "yep, sounds about right for the shitty Jags".
No way Urban Meyer cuts Tebow
He probably could have had a really good NFL career if he was willing to switch positions when he came out of college. He probably still have a few good years. His body is not worn out. I like him and hope he does well.
Urban's got more to worry about than Tebow ... I'm not convinced he can win in the NFL.... John Robinson, Steve Spurrier, and Nick Saban couldn't make the transition and they were pretty good coaches. There are some that have had limited success like Pete Carrol or Jimmy Johnson but a good collegiate career just doesn't always translate well.
Well, they got 1 of 2 right. A TE that is a QB and a QB that's a TE.
