This is a really bad idea if it’s true. This is a stunningly bad idea from Urban Meyer if it’s true, and I say that as someone who hopes Tebow makes it.
Tebow’s time in the NFL as a quarterback wasn’t impressive, and he’s not nearly the athlete Taysom Hill is on the field.
If Urban Meyer plans for Tebow to be slinging passes in the NFL, then the Jaguars are in big trouble.

I had a lot of hope for Tebow in Jacksonville, but if the plan is truly for him to just be a wildcat QB, then this experiment won’t last long.
