This is for the r*cists claiming Kaep is "not good enough"

The Jacksonville Jaguars' preseason game against the Cleveland Browns also marked the return of Tim Tebow to the football field.

The former Heisman Trophy winner, who turned 34 on Saturday, celebrated his birthday and his return to the league by doing ... not much at all.

Getting just a handful of snaps, Tebow made a single appearance in the box score, being credited with one target in the fourth quarter. Tebow got his hand on a pass that was tipped at the line of scrimmage.

Tebow, who was drafted in the first round in 2010 after a record-setting career in college as the quarterback of the Florida Gators, has not appeared in a regular-season NFL game since 2012. He was last kicking around the NFL in the 2015 preseason, when he was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles. But now, after a detour through minor league baseball, he's back and trying to return to the NFL as a tight end.

The JAX coach was Tebow's college coach. He owes his career to Tebow. This isn't about merit. Marcuse Aug 2021 #3

and others have always made out that Tebow is somehow a good player. I have never been convinced. Has nothing to do with his outward show of religiosity.

JAX fans better hope that Lawrence isn’t just a long haired Tebow.

since he has little to commend him these days and is pretty old for an NFL player, especially one in a new position.
