Fans Urge Jaguars To Sign Tebow

[Auggie]

A group of Jacksonville Jaguars fans held a rally Monday in the EverBank Field parking lot that began at 3:16 p.m. ET to encourage the team to sign free-agent quarterback Tim Tebow, a former Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Florida.

The rally was scheduled to last three hours and 16 minutes. The starting time of the rally and the planned duration are nods to a bible verse, John 3:16, which Tebow had inscribed on his eye black for the 2009 BCS title game.

James Stewart, a 56-year-old Jacksonville native and Jaguars fan who is one of the event's organizers, said about 20 people participated in the rally, while 30 media members covered the event. The group now also has a volunteer to make signs and bumper stickers and have someone to handle Twitter in an attempt to publicize its Tebow campaign.

"The Jaguars' season is really in the tank," Stewart said. "They don't have a lot of promise. There's not a lot to watch. We're consumers and the Jaguars are a product, and there's a lot of room for improvement. Tebow we think would be value added if he were to be signed and given an opportunity at quarterback.

The funniest part of this may be that 20 people participated in an event that 30 media people covered.

1. Don't they suck bad enough already?

These fans are truly masochistic.

2. They'll sell more merchandise if they do...

That was Denver's goal with Timmeh from the start.

3. The 2014 draft is going to be deep in quarterbacks ...

they should lose as many games as they can and take the most NFL-ready one.

7. As many as they can?

Wouldn't that be all of them?

4. It's not as though they could get worse.

5. Well, they've got nothing to lose.

At least Timmy was actually able to beat the Raiders 2 seasons ago. But Henne was a joke yesterday.

6. Alternate title "20 Jacksonville fans unsatisfied with team's level of incompetence".

Yes, there's a lot of improvement, but the team could still be worse. Stewart looks to be making that happen.

John 3:16
For God so loved the Jaguars that he gave his one and only Son, who couldn't throw or read defenses, that whoever believes in him shall not perish in the playoffs but have an eternal #1 pick.

8. Better alt title "Jaguars have 20 fans!"
