Tim Tebow Supporters Run Billboard Urging Jaguars to Sign Gator Legend

The Jacksonville Jaguars were not supposed to be in the spotlight in recent days. The Jaguars, clearly the worst team in the National Football League (NFL), had a bye on Sunday and First Coast football fans were supposed to focus on the Miami-FSU game which had national implications and, while the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators have been disappointing this season, their game in Jacksonville is one of the citys annual traditions.

But the Jaguars are once again in the news as they look to start the second half of the season after stumbling out the gate to a 0-8 start. WR Justin Blackmon, one of the few bright spots of the season, was suspended yet again on Friday for violating the NFLs substance abuse policies and he wont be back for the rest of the year. And now Tim Tebow fans ran a billboard this week urging Jaguars owners Shahid Khan to sign the former Gator star.

Tebow played at Nease High School in the area and played at the University of Florida. Tebow supporters had planes flying over Everbank Field demanding the Jaguars sign the quarterback. Earlier this year, Tebow was cut by the New England Patriots after stints with the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets.

Mr. Khan, sign Tebow and we will fill the stadium. Signed, Jacksonville, read the new billboard.

Actually, while the Jaguars havent scored a touchdown at Everbank Field this year, none of the teams home games has been blacked out. The Jags head up to Tennessee on Sunday to take on the Titans this weekend before hosting the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 17.
