You Can't Draft Ticket Sales

While we scramble for solutions to the ticket sales drought in Jacksonville, a certain bewildered population of nearby football fans proffer the argument that drafting Tebow would be a cure all.
Well, if that theory were true, then certainly the signing of legendary Brett Favre by the Vikings, as a sure bet to propel them deep into the playoffs (which looks like it might actually be happening), would have the same effect there. And his revered status in the mid-West would cure the Vikings ticket sales woes, too. Right?
This according to PFT, speaks to the contrary:
"According to John Holler of VikingUpdate.com, 4,000 tickets remain for November 15 against Detroit, and 3,500 are unsold for the following Sunday against Seattle."
"So even with the Favre factor and a 7-1 start to the season, the Vikings will have to hustle in order to lift the local blackout for games."
You mean, one player doesn't cure ticket sales? That's right. One player, unless he buys all the remaining tickets for friends, will not cure ticket sales. The local community cures. And if Father Time isn't cramming the stadium in the town of his former rival, then it's doubtful that an out-of-position paladin can work miracles here in Jacksonville. Amen.

the most proffited pre season game ever/ the highest rated telivised pre season game ever………………….. just sayin, a play can temporarily fix ticket sells, and if they are winning and that player is doing good if the community likes that player it can work, but if that player doesnt do good, then your right back where you started if not worst.

…falls well short of a cured ticket sales problem.

I think drafting the Tebow
would be a temporary solution at best. Winning is the real cure to slumping ticket sales, except in Minnesota apparently.

you can't fill a stadium with people you ain't got...
IMO, the NFL in general is on the decline as an attended spectator sport.
Ponder this
If we had to take a local player, why not take Christian Ponder outta FSU? He would at least have a chance to succeed given his skill set and our personnel.
OOOHHH! That's a slap in the face of the Gator Faithful! But I like it!
Duuuuvvvvallllllll!!!!!....Damn, I miss Paul Spicer!
As a Gator faithful,
I like Ponder, and I definitely think he could succeed as an NFL quarterback, even on the Jaguars.

rather have one of my trifecta
Tony Pike, Dan Lefevour, or Tim Hiller
as long as one of them is available in the 3rd at our draft spot, then pull the trigger.
