Uche Nwaneri and Mark Brunell Sound Off on You Know Who
by Adam Stites on Feb 4, 2010 12:27 AM EST
in Meta-Jacksonville Jaguars
Email
PrintNo not Voldemort, a certain QB at a certain college near Jacksonville by the name of Tim Tebow. Earlier today Uche Nwaneri posted his opinion of Tebow on the Jaguars.com message board:
"5. He cant throw. PERIOD.
"4. He cant read any coverage other than probably cover 2 or man cov. PERIOD (the only cov. in college lol).
"3. the QB wildcat WILL NOT WORK IN THIS LEAGUE. PERIOD.
"2. He doesnt know how to take a snap from center, nor is he even comfortable enough to.
"1. HE CANT THROW. and thats really something you either have or not, never seen a qb who couldnt ever throw, just all of a sudden be able to throw just because hes now in the NFL."
Mark Brunell, the former Jaguars QB who will be handling holding duties in the Super Bowl for the Saints, had a different opinion than that of Nwaneri.
"If they want him on the field and they think he can contribute, I think [the Jaguars] should [draft him]," Brunell said at Super Bowl media day. "I think he's going to be a good football player. I think he'll do well at this level."
"But I don't think Timmy wants to go to Jacksonville if they're drafting him just to sell tickets. He wants to compete and play. So if they want a good football player, absolutely [draft him]."
"I really respect Tim because he's taken his faith, taken who he is and he's making a difference. He's a great role model for a lot of young people and a great leader. Who he is is more important than what he does. He's a great kid."

Another interesting tidbit from Uche's time at the Jaguars.com message board
“as of right now, I will be moving to either lg, or center. Vince is moving to the right side.”
“But I must say to everyone here, its not a player issue here in jax right now. Man for man I promise you the jaguars are an upper echelon team player for player. We are young and very talented. Its simply CONSISTENCY.”
“I dont think that dave has thrown us under the bus, there were times when he had a legitimate point, in the seattle game, we were owned at the T spots, gene and ebon played tough no doubt, but it just wasnt a good day. against miami, i had one MA the whole game, which turned out to seal the win for mia, i went to the wrong man on our QB draw, which was goin to be wide open for dave, and the guy i was spose to block ended up sacking dave. it happens. this is a complicated game and human error will rear its ugly head. but i dont recall ever feeling like we were thrown under the bus. I know this because everyone on our team knows that we dont put other people out there like that, mainly because sure enough everyone will have that kind of day from time to time. In a perfect world, he would have all day to pass, but the fact is, you dont so get the ball out on time or throw it away. if there is one thing that will make your line look really bad, its if the qb holds the ball, there were times when that was the case, and there were times when we needed to hold up better. bottom line is that it will be something that we will work to minimize in 2010 as much as possible.”
“so when i tell you that nobody is happy about how we ended you know im telling the truth. alot of guys made comments about how we cant ever let an opportunity like this slip again, and alot of guys are making efforts to improve and evolve. for instance, we all know reggie nelson struggled late in the year. well u know what, i was at the stadium on monday at 730am, and reggie was in the defensive meeting room in a suit, watching film, talking with coaches, doing everything right in order to be better and not allow those same mistakes he made repeat themselves. To me, that earns alot of respect because it isnt even 3 weeks into our offseason and hes doing things NOW not LATER.”

Didn't I call it?
I knew Uche and Manuwai should’ve switched sides. I hate that it took so long for it to happen. But I guess they needed to stick with something to get some sort of continuity.
Who knew Uche would be so full of great info?
It's about their
strengths and weaknesses. In reality I really wanted Maurice Williams to be on the left side, but he got hurt and couldn’t pass his physical. I believe he even switched momentarily with Manuwai before he got hurt.
However the significance is that Manuwai is more of a run blocker than pass blocker which is good on the right side. It also goes well with his phonebooth ability/great punch. And Uche is significantly better at run blocking vs pass pro, but he’s still better than Manuwai. Uche is also more of a finisher which is important when playing in space because you are more likely playing the one on one.
That awseme that Uche is on the MB
and that makes me think twice about letting Reggie go, if he wants to learn… let him.
Thanks for the memories Fred
he was there early last year too.....
i hope this year it will actually make him better

Interesting stuff
I appreciate Mark; and I hope he gets his ring on Sunday. And I understand his take on TT; but right now I’m more of with UCHE Nwaneri on this one…

I guess I’ll repeat myself. All I ever want to see on draft day are picks of the BAP at the time. I have to trust that Gene and company have done their homework, which I feel they do thoroughly. If Tebow is the BAP when they pick, in whatever round, then get him. If he’s not, then get another guy that will be worthy of our team.
Sean Jax Beach Bum
I agree with BAP 99% of the time
but I really feel that TT is such a polarizing player that he would add a level of distraction that the team just doesn’t need.
He could throw 10 INT’s in pre-season and his fans would still be clamoring for him to start and blaming the OL, WR’s coaches… for his problems.
At least we know
Who will be at the front of the ass-kissing line when we draft him. Uche, step right up.
Vae Victis!
Sorry
There were a lot more easy opportunities below. But I stand by it, 10 to 1 Uche is a Jag and TT isn’t for next season. By the way, what would it take to get you to the general bowl man? Any chance you move down? Anyone willing to go in to support the upgrade? I’ll put a few bucks toward it!

You'll have to clear it with the boss (my wife)
I feel lucky to have a seat at all. We’re paying for our first home, the debt involved in renovating an old house, and the expense of one child with plans to start trying for a second after April. Life is expensive, but great! I think as I catch up with debt, finish school, and move up in pay grade…I’ll be able to move into the general bowl again. I was originally in section 216 before we got pregnant.
I don’t see why Uche wouldn’t be a part of the team even if they draft Tim. He was simply expressing an opinion. There’s nothing wrong with that. You know me, I’m just poking at the wound.
I like section 436, by the way. It’s a bargain!
Vae Victis!
Lower Bowl
The lower bowl helps to lift the blackout, but unfortunately the upper deck doesn’t count. It’s only a $480 ticket on the sides. 244 is great, there’s some 15 year holders in front of me. Just trying to get one more seat to count toward lifting the blackout, no big deal.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
by DownTownJax on Feb 4, 2010 4:46 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Pretty sure
It’s a strange setup, but club seats and upper deck seats don’t count for the blackout. That’s the only reason I would ask anyone to upgrade.

That can't be true
Otherwise, why would they tarp the sections at the top of the stadium?

Hmmmm
You know, that’s a good point…. I’m confused now. Maybe the upper deck does count toward the general bowl…

by DownTownJax on Feb 4, 2010 5:23 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Thanks
The only reason I was willing to sacrifice the cost of a ticket I couldn’t afford was to support my Jags. I’d hate to think it was a wasted effort.
Vae Victis!
If you already have your tickets
try not to find out till next year. lol
Pretend they do help until then. haha
I am pretty sure upper deck helps against the blackout
We have 2 tickets in the lower part of 435, and the folks in the ticket booth implied that they helped against the blackout….it is part of the general bowl. In fact, the tickets in the lower part of 435 cost more than the tickets in 244, not that it matters….just trying to show that I think they count.
The only seats that don't count for the blackout number are the club seats.
In Gene We Trust.

Glad to see Uche so candid
Also glad to hear that Reggie is putting in time to improve, which sets him apart from other first round busts, like Matt Jones and Reggie Williams.
I still think
we should look to trade Nelson. I mean yeah that’s great he’s watching film which will help him be in the right place at the right time or whatever, but even if he is where he needs to be, is watching film going to help him wrap up and tackle, or is he just going to put his shoulder down and let the guy bounce off him again or look to punch the ball out?
It's never too late to live your life, the time is now, it's yours and mine.
Well it's not like he's physically not capable of tackling
Maybe learning the game better and developing the mental aspect will lead to him tackling more soundly and not trying to punch the ball out.

What.......
What are those mugs, shirts and buttons really for…..that is classic…..but to be honest, I am with Uche 100%. I cannot think of any reason outside of ticket sales to even consider Tebow. I do not see him as a BAP at any time during the draft, and the ticket sale benefit will be short lived when he one, does not play right away, and two, when he does play he is ineffective. I agree with Brunell that he is an outstanding person, and a good role model. I will even say he is an outstanding athlete, but I do not think he is an NFL football player!
Maybe......
Maybe Marks comments were a paid endorsement brought on by his current legal situation! I am just kidding, and I realize that was a bad joke…..just could no resist!
Uche also said "He doesn't want to come out to pre-game warm-ups to an empty stadium."
I just hope the Tebow lovers don’t get all upset at Uche and not buy tickets….. I really think Uche wants David to be our guy….Maybe not the best way to go about it. This made the featured articles section on Yahoo!‘s homepage. It’s huge!!!!!!!!
frankDUBZ aka Frank Silba
He protects David
Garrard is his man to protect, he probably gets tired of hearing all the negatives about David and also hearing the near deification of Tebow’s college performace. I like Uche a lot, I see where he’s coming from, and I totally respect what he did. Is it a smart move? Probably not, but he made his opinion clear with several points to back it up. It’s way better than “he sucks.” I like this more than all of the " he’s going to need some work, but he’s got great intangibles" bs. Brunell took the easy way out.

If they get upset and don't by tickets then my assumptions would be correct.
They are Gator fans and not Jaguar fans.
eh
the fact is we don’t know. there have been QBs and other players that were “can’t miss” prospects who didn’t pan out. there are QBs and other players that had “fatal flaws” who ended up being great. no one at this point knows what will happen with Tebow. maybe he isn’t able to change his throwing significantly, and he never amounts to anything. maybe he develops into an all-timer. all this love/hate stuff is annoying. give it time.
lol
all u people talk about this like u can change it he is gunna be there if the players dont like him well no crap theyr not gunna do well. get over it its a game play it and use what u have. if u dont like the tim then go to another team or what ever u get paid to play not to like or diss like someone couse he gets more media then u. grow up and play the game.

Sad!!
It’s the negativity of players like DOUCHE Nwaneri that causes the empty seats for the Jaguar program. Let’s compare the dynamic abilities of Tebow next to DOUCHE Nwaneri and see who inspires a program and teammates. Jealousy is such an ugly trait. And what Douche really meant was, it’s not that he can’t throw. It’s that he won’t throw to his sorry, negative, overrated ass.
Wow!
We have fans that can see into the future and didn’t buy season tickets last year because Uche said this recently? Amazing! We should ask them some lotto numbers to play!

I logged in
just because your post was that overly ridiculous… and ignorant.
First, Nwaneri wasn’t being negative. He was stating an opinion. Just like you state your opinion when you speak of the greatness of Tim Tebo while his ballsack is in your mouth.
Second, who the hell is jealous of Tim Tebow? Yeah, he has accolades, he’s a “great guy”, whatever. Truth is, the dudes kind of a dork. Does it matter if he’s a dork? No, but it’s MY opinion.
Third, dumbass, why would Tim Tebo ever throw to an offensive lineman anyway?
Seriously, I wish Tim Tebow the best, but he’s the next Jemarcus Russell or worse. That’s my opinion. The guys a good person. He’s a model citizen. If he’s drafted by the Jags, I better be wrong about how I think he will do in the NFL. However, if any other team drafts him, and I hope they do, I’m going to expect a huge amount of media hype with very little positive end results.
By the way-VERY IMPORTANT!!!

I wouldn't worry about that
I read on one site where the reporter said four GMs said they’d draft Tebow in the first round.
I’m betting Gene Smith isn’t one of them.
So we’ll definitely not get Tebow, because he won’t be there in the second round when it’s our turn to pick, … and GMs never lie.
no wonder
First of all hey COOCHIE…..learn to run your plays and be more mobil before you start smashing other people. You have NO QB now..yes I said it…he is horrible. The best addition the Jags could make is to add Tebow. He is with out a doubt a great athlete and he is a proven leader. Simply putting him on the field does two things…..1…Raises the intensity of the players and the game and it WILL open holes in the defense because you have to consider Tebow a threat to run the ball….2……Gets the fans pumped up and imto the game and we all know how a load stadium can effect the game
as far as him throwing the ball……he can throw as good as any QB out there……If you cant catch it thats your problem……Ol-yeah…you said the Wild cat “will not work at this level” . The Miami Dolphins beat you with it.
Miami
Miami ran a total of 0 plays out of the wildcat when they beat us. You are wrong.

You know, I'm going to speak out for the first time in a while
Zoltan, you know, I miss the site, but I almost don’t like how it’s grown. I thought about writing a fanpost last night, just an opinion based article on my perspective. Call me old-fashioned, but I liked this site so much better before the glitz and the glamour. I know growth is important for respect and recognition in a broader sense—the interview by RCR with JDR was epic—but I can’t help but wish that the site was back to how it used to be. I still get on from time to time. I love my Jags still. But, with changes in life also come changes in routine. My time’s been largely occupied with more pressing priorities, but I’m going to try to make it on the site more often.
With that said, I hope I covered all of my points (I’m at work and concentrating is a little difficult) and don’t sound ignorant like some of the Gator fans who see the world through blue and orange.
I’ve missed you too my friend on the other side of the world. Life’s been pretty busy. I’ll try to catch up with all of the draft prospects. One of my recent endeavors includes my first novel. I just finished it (it’s 257 pages currently) and am now going back through for the first edit. It’s taken up a significant portion of the free time. Hope you’re doing well!
Well I have another site to look around to you

I almost feel dirty for being a Florida fan thanks to ill-informed rants like this. First of all, aside from his belief that Tebow has no chance to improve, his assessment is pretty close to reality. Second, I really doubt Nwaneri is going to read what you’ve written, and if he does, I doubt he would give a shit. Lastly, please, go easy on the all caps, it makes you sound like a cheerleader, and learn when to use ellipses, you sound like an asthmatic. An asthmatic cheerleader…imagine that.

About Uche Nwaneri and Mark Burnell
You folks and the Jacksonville Jaguars are not exactly winners, are they? Tim Tebow has proved that he is a winner. Some people talk the talk and do nothing when it comes to backing it up. Others like Tebow win and win and win. Even if he did nothing but sell tickets for a couple years until he becomes the best of the best, it would be more then you folks did last year…playing to an empty stadium is no fun, especially for the owner. Maybe he should rethink keeping you folks. You talk the talk but don’t walk the walk….he walks the walk and lets others talk the talk…talk alone is cheap….
Was there a point?
I didn’t see anything other than the stadium isn’t sold out so Tim Tebow is a winner.

Most NFL QB's are not
good evaluators of college QB’s that win. They will always say the winning QB can do it in the NFL. He’s a winner. Why even have a scouting department with that kind of mentality?
Most guys in the NFL never say anything bad about any other player. It was amazing to see a player as honest and candid as Nwaneri.
Don't know why
it’s such a crime to be honest. People are praised every day for being honest. That is unless you are an NFL player.
He wasn’t bashing him. He made an observation and voiced it.

I just think it's funny.
If Uche would have said this in the middle of the college football season, can you imagine how ripped to shreds by Gator homers he would be?
Now what you see is a couple random KoolAid drinking, bible beating Tebow fans sticking up for their hero calling him a “winner” and telling us how we don’t know how great he is.
I have to say, when the Gators offense took the field last year minus Percy Harvin, defensive backs weren’t exactly crapping their pants worrying about Tebow shredding them apart with his supreme passing skills.
Keep in mind the Gators rushed for 6.9 ypc average with Demps/Rainey/Moody. Any quarterback who has a running game that good (and number 1 defense) will be successful. The superior talent Tebow had around him is what made the guy a “winner”.
The good thing is, even the biggest of Tebow fans have finally realized he just doesn’t have the skills to be an NFL quarterback. It’s so obvious that it’s actually funny.
I kind of do feel sorry for the guy. He’s went from biggest hero in college football to crying on the sidelines, to hopeless as NFL QB prospect. Just hope when it’s all said and done he doesn’t have a mental breakdown and turn to drugs.
I'm not saying all hope is lost
I just think it’s a very small chance that he will succeed at QB. I hope he does well. I really truly do hope he does well. I just don’t think you can say in any round that he’s worth the risk. Even if he fixes a lot of his weaknesses he will never be a top tier passer. That’s not even a question in my mind.
He struggled throughout the year in the redzone and that’s supposed to be his bread and butter. And he hasn’t even been passing for many yards in a spread offense, having been short of the 3,000 yard mark since 2007(About as long as Garrard has had his slump). How often does a top QB with the weapons he has not rank highly in passing yards? Even Garrard had as many passing yards as Tebow in college, as a running QB too.
minority
I’m kind of a minority in this situation. I’ve grown up with Brunell as my favorite player to play the game. I got to meet him at a game in Cincinnati. I’m also a huge Gators fan too. I’ve grown up rooting for orange and blue on saturday and teal and black on sundays. It’s always been that way.
I love Tebow and Florida but i have no desire to see Tebow wearing teal this fall.Sorry Brunell. He won’t help the situation at all, and its going to be pointless to waste a draft pick, for media purposes only when we can get talent. Shoot Riley Skinner from Wake Forest would be the better QB to pick up form the Jacksonville area. I seem to be at a disagreement with most Florida fans though. O well
i think everyone is over looking the fact that
uche was “cashing checks” …he doesn’t deposit them
CASH MONEY HOMIE
Uche Is a retard!
I think Jags have a cancer among the team, Starting with Uche. What kinda of player broadcast on the internet, the fact that he might not block for their QB?? Thats just openly admitting that he isnt a team player, no matter the circumstance. Who would want that kind of guy on their team? That is a losing attitude. There’s no wonder why they keep losing. The players are selfish and are all about themselves. Dont worry about entertaining the people(FANS) who pay for the franchise, Oh yeah, and protecting the guy running the offensive.
What?
He said he’s not going to block for Tebow? I must’ve missed that. Could you point me to where he said that?

What are you smoking?
If you want any sort of cred you should at least keep your facts straight/legit. Uche never said anything of the sort. He will block for any QB behind him. As for being a cancer: What the heck are you talking about? When has he ever been a cancer? Never heard a word that unfairly criticized any teammate. Mentioned everyone has work to do and that they have the talent to be better.
Tebow
By the way, I wouldnt want Tebow to go to Jax. He needs to go somewhere he is appreciated by the other players no matter what position he falls into. He is a natural born leader, and great athlete.
Tebow
Tebow is a much better quarterback than dipshit is a right guard.
I dont know what is more shocking…that a jax player came out and said what most everybody is saying under their breath OR outloud or the fact that its not even the throwing motion or his quivering ducks that he throws…its that he cant read defenses! that says alot for the league he played in too.
if jax does pick tebow they have a short memory. remember the team who picked matt jones and it was talked about as this shocking first round pick of a qb playing reciever and how he was going to be this big star…the jags just got a steal. del rio was glowing. #18 was a daring move but a great one! taking this big gamble and how the jags were going to make this player a star even though he couldnt play qb because he was too stupid but he was BIG. well how did that turn out?
Even though you usually have nothing of value to add to BCC...
…I might actually have to agree with you
The troll accidentally made a good point.
When Colts fans start hoping the Jags take Tebow, you have to know taking Tebow is a bad idea.

Nice...
So Uche, if this guy becomes your teammate what then? How about showing a little respect to the people who cut your check. It shouldn’t matter what you think of a player, you should concentrate on playing as hard as you can with any player your coaches decide to put on the field, instead on second guessing their decisions before they even make them.
Now, you’ve created an issue that shouldn’t be one. Also, what is this, I don’t want to show up to pregame to an empty stadium. Is this team about you and what you want?
I want to take my son to a game that I can enjoy and maybe at least half of them see my team win. I don’t want to see a group of disciplined millionaires do whatever they want when they want.
So, what else ya want?
You are soooo right!
Uche is worse than Vick! He should apologize for what he said about his teammate…. Wait, he’s not already a Jaguar and a lot of scouts agree with what Uche said? Send him to jail! How ungrateful!

This is a bit much. I actually somewhat agree with the poster. All he basically said was that Nwaneri shouldn’t burn bridges that he might have to cross later, and that he’s caused unnecessary drama for the people who cut his checks. I don’t see why you have to mock him like he’s some zealot like those crazy folk further up.
Understood
I concede your point, he caused unnecessary drama. Many people have done far worse (Vick)

I definitely agree with that, but I don’t see what Vick has to do with this. Also, I don’t really have a problem with what Nwaneri says, because he’s definitely entitled to his opinion. On the other hand, I don’t think the poster deserves the replies he got, because his point is also reasonable.
The idea was
Look at what Uche said and compare it to what other players did to catch heat. This was pretty mild. Looking back, the comment was more about showing respect to the management, not Tebow… Which is reasonable. It read like Tim Tebow was the one who deserved respect, but I see that was not the point. After all of the other uninformed, ridiculous posts above, it gets hard to turn it off. Sorry.

"respect to the people
who cut your check"
Wow I didn’t realize Tim Tebow cut Uche’s check every week.
I also didn’t realize someone is labeled unfocused when making a few statements on a message board during the off season.
And as far as I can tell, there are no issues in the Jaguars locker room. My guess is everyone is laughing and probably saying someone finally said it.
disciplined millionaires
Why would you not want to watch a group of disciplined millionaires, it’s the undisciplined one you need to worry about. J/K
from Paul Kuharsky, espn.com
Terence (Nashville):
Any consequences foreseen for the Jag’s OL that slammed Tebow’s QB prospects via Twitter?

Mark B. I love ya.....but...
You hold a great spot in Jags franchise….I got your autograph……but…..Are you kidding me?
“Who he is is more important than what he does”?
Are you kidding me?

Mark is right
What Mark was saying is that a person’s character – who he is – is ultimately of more importance than his performance in any game. He wasn’t referring to football, but to life – at least that’s how I understood his comment. In other words, life is more than football, and Tebow (in Mark’s opinion, and mine too) seems to have that well figured out.
As to whether we draft him, in Gene I trust!
Oh yeah
Go Saints! I would love to see Mark retire with a ring!

You are right!
“Who he is” is absolutely the most important aspect of his, and any persons life. IMO.
Please explain to me Mental, what that has to do with his bankability as an NFL QB prospect…
I think it was his viability as an NFL QB that Mark was referring to…it wasn’t an interview with “Life Achievement” magazine……
What round are the Jags drafting Tebow?
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
In the alternate reality
Like in the new Lost episodes, the Jags trade up and he’s the first overall pick and the tarps are gone until the 120,000 seat stadium is built. The tarps are cut into little pieces and mailed out to all of the season ticket holders. The other storyline involves a lot of picks that Mel Kiper hates until the end of the season. I think the show could be called “Lost Draft”

I think it should just be called “Mel Kiper’s Hair”, because that’s the only thing going through my head when I see Kiper.
I always mute him
Watch him without any sound and you will want to gouge out your eyes.

I'd assume so

I would think so.
But then again, I’m pretty liberal, but I usually end up voting Republican because I prefer conservative fiscal policies.
Technically Rex Grossman made it to the Super Bowl.........
