It’s probably too much to ask NFL fans and the media to not treat the long-anticipated signing of Tim Tebow by the Jaguars on Thursday as either a monumental development or a gigantic waste of time.
Just accept it for what it is: Urban Meyer tinkering with his 90-man roster and seeing if the teacher’s pet can contribute to the Jaguars in any way after a nine-year exile from playing in a meaningful football game.
Maybe this experiment lasts just a few weeks into training camp before the Jaguars conclude the former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Florida under Meyer isn’t cut out to play tight end, or likely any kind of hybrid role.
