It'll take some major cojones for a manager to pick up Tebow and actually try to utilize him as the primary QB, because you need to overhaul the entire offensive system (and likely, utilize a defense that will cater to this style). But like you, I think it can and should be done - not necessarily by Jacksonville, but by some team. If you can sell your owner and your head coach on the plan, why not? For a destitute team with an awful offense but a decent defensive piece, this could be a pretty cool 3 year trial. Adding a weapon like Bush to the Jaguars and maybe drafting a guy like Denard Robinson to keep defenses even more off-balanced. Then stock up on defense and offensive lineman that can really move/pull, and you could run an innovative, creative offense based on flexibility and misdirection. How is a defense going to guard a QB that can run and throw, a WR that can run and catch and throw, and two running backs that can beat you inside or out. And that's not even counting Shorts or Blackmon or Lewis. Would there be kinks? You bet. But could it work? If you're a team like Arizona that literally has one offensive weapon but a good enough defense to keep them from getting a top 3 pick, why not give it a shot? Arguably, the Jaguars are in a similar position, although I think that the Jaguars have far too many weakness across the board (including defense) for this to work here. Disclosure: I am a Gator fan and would like to see Tebow succeed, but I'm not and have never been a big Tebow fan and think his potential is limited as a conventional pocket passer. I just think he has a unique skill set that NFL teams are forced to ignore because a) he's a polarizing figure and b) utilizing his skill set may require a medium-to-humongous overhaul in offensive philosophy.

Whatever probability the "Tebow Offense" would have of being successful...it would all hinge on just how dedicated the front office is to acquiring players to make this system competitive. There's no halfway point. You either build your team around Tebow or you don't. Unfortunately for Tebow fans, I don't think Caldwell is going to bite. Interesting strategy though! You've really thought this out. Xaiver, you are a braver man than I!

Tim Tebow will be dropped by the Jets more than likely. The Jaguars should trade either Chad Henne or Blaine Gabbart for a draft pick to clear up roster space for Tebow. No one has given the Tebow offense a chance. IT WORKED IN DENVER! With Tim Tebow and Willis McGahee, the Broncos led the league in rushing. Think about Tebow and MJD. Once the Jaguars pick up Tebow, they need to pick up some offensive weapons TO COMPLIMENT TEBOWS GAME. Blackmon and Cecil Shorts are solid receivers and the Jaguars could possibly pick up Danny Amendola in free agency. With the Tebow offense, obviously there will be a lot of read option plays with Tebow and Maurice Jones Drew. To compliment this, the Jaguars could sign Reggie Bush who is a free agent. This would be an unstoppable backfield. With Reggie Bush coming in and running in motion and a triple option between Tebow, Jones Drew, and Bush, this running offense would be hard to stop. Reggie Bush could also give Jones-Drew some much needed rest. After these acquisitions are made, the Jaguars need to draft all defense. Every pick, get a defensive player. We have seen the Packers do this and the Patriots do this. It actually works. Even when you pick a defensive player in the 6th round, it provides competition for training camp and your team gets better. Also, as seen in Denver, you need a good defense when you run the Tebow offense, or at least a defense that is capable of holding on until the fourth quarter. If the Jaguars draft like this this year and next year, they will make the Superbowl in 2 years guaranteed. Get someone like Jarvis Jones this year in first round and draft all defense. Do same thing next year. Obviously, Tebow will bring fans to the games, which is what the Jaguars are lacking. The worst possible scenario for this move in the franchise is you have a team just as bad as the one you had before, but more fans come to the games. I have a HUGE suggestion for the Jaguars.
