There is much talk and belief down here in Orlando sport radio that if Jax took Tebow, they'd sell out season tix in a minute. There is a belief that Gator fans would just follow him so to speak; Saturdays in G'ville, Sundays in J'ville.

While that may happen, you have to look at the possibility of him not becoming an NFL QB. If we were to draft him and it doesn't work out then we'd have wasted another 1st RD. pick, we'd still be losing, and fans would be bitching about the playcalling or how the team isn't using Tebow right. In the end it would ultimately do a ton of harm and any increase in ticket sales would die off.

On the other hand, if it worked out and Tebow played well as an NFL QB it would be awesome. The perfect situation.

No one knows for sure though how Tebow is going to do. We've had too many busts in the 1st RD. these past years. I just don't think we take the gamble again on Tebow. Unless we pick the BAP which happens to be someone else in the 1st RD. and he's still there for our next pick.
