Shad Khan Would Have Drafted Tim Tebow

PrintI've gotten lots of e-mails about Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan's comments on the radio about Tim Tebow. I kind of avoided talking about it, because it's really a non-starter, but I figured I would transcribe the whole thing for you guys since there is a lot of interest in it. Here is what Khan said on WOKV Monday morning when a caller asked him about Tim Tebow:
"You know something? I think I can tell you this. I had a long chat with Wayne (Weaver) that year. Obviously the Rams drafted Sam Bradford, and I was talking to Wayne then on what they ought to do. I should have an offline conversation with you, OK? I'm going to absolutely talk your ear off. Some of the stuff might not be politically correct, but I share your sentiment. I think, when is the next time Jacksonville is going to have an athlete like Tim Tebow? Coming from being raised in Illinois, I couldn't see Red Grange playing for anybody other than the Bears or Dick Butkus playing for anybody other than the Bears. I don't want to get into 20/20 hindsight, and God help us, the draft record has not been the best with the Jaguars."
The host of the show then asked Khan if he would have drafted Tim Tebow. "100 percent I would have. Absolutely," Khan said. "The first Jaguars game I came to was in '10, we played Denver here. There were a lot more Tebow jerseys in the Jaguars stands than the teal jerseys for any player, let's face it. You hate to get into 20/20 hindsight and finger pointing, but certainly if I had anything to do with it. We probably won't have a chance like that again."
To me, it's not really a big deal. Khan said he'd have drafted Tebow, but everyone assumes this means he would have taken Tebow with the 10th overall pick, but he never specifies that. It's possible Khan meant the 10th overall pick, but it's also possible Khan meant just in general. Some have also pointed out this could just be a PR move by Khan to extend the "olive branch" to the legion of spurned Florida Gators fans who "would have" bought tickets.
Oddly enough, when Khan was in talks with the St. Louis Rams he went to their personnel people after talking with Wayne Weaver, to get a second opinion on Tebow. What did they tell him?
Wayne gave me very logical, very clinical answers on reasons why he wouldn't do it. I went back to the Rams, their player personnel folks, I said, you've got to tell me, if you were Jacksonville, would you be drafting Tim Tebow? They said absolutely not. It was like they were reading from the same script Wayne had read from.
I said, there comes a time where emotion trumps rationality and this, if I was an owner, would be one of those moments for me.
Really to me, the bigger picture here a subtle shot at the Jaguars draft failures. In my personal opinion, that may mean general manager Gene Smith's seat is already rather warm and if rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert doesn't improve significantly in his second season, it could get rather hot.

And then we would be stuck with a failed experiment!

this is the year those picks in 2009 need to flourish
Monroe, Britton, Knighton, Cox, and Thomas need to be getting in the conversation for top tier mention.
Alualu needs to step it up as well.
If you really think about it, if you weren’t a Jags fan, you’d probably only know about 4 picks from the last 3 years for what they’ve done as pros.

I am not really upset with Genes picks.
I think a team needs a deep roster to make annual runs as a contender. The backups obviously aren’t the stars, but they need to be patches who can fill in in a pinch when the inevitable injuries hit. An NFL team only needs 3-4 stars. The rest of the guys need to be efficient at what they do. Right now we have a lot of solid guys, but only 1 star. If we can bag a 2 or 3 more stars via the draft and/or free agency we will be a top team.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
Also during the probowl voting , when people were witing who would they make the pro bowl Monroe was mentioned a few times Also Tyson Alualu is probably the second best player on are defense and was playing on a injured leg all season. Cox is good and Knighton is good. Thomas does not need to be all that great he was a fourth round pick he just needs to be OK. We do need to see more of Britton though
well, for starters, I think Pro Bowl is a farce.
But, none of our picks from the past 3 years have been what I would call stars and impact players. Maybe Knighton. I think the other guys I mentioned can get there. From my vantage point, Gene has done a solid job of collecting “jars on the shelf” through the draft. Now we need impact guys.

a guy who teams have to gameplan for on a regular basis. We currently have 1 consistent star.
good enough answer?
Or would you prefer, a player with a bitchin’ touchdown dance or long beautiful hair who played for an SEC school or PAC 10 school.

I do enjoy a good celebratory TD dance, though.

False.
Joe Gibbs said repeatedly ( back in the day) that creating a game plan to stop LT was one of the hardest things he had to do in coaching.
Eric Mangini today on ESPN talked about how every team has a game plan for “elite” players. He was discussing WRs, and said that as a coach you always create a game plan to shut down those players – the ones that produce despite those game plans are truly " elite".
Teams game planned against MoJo all yea. They put in 8 and 9 man fronts to stop him.
Saying teams dont plan against one player is ridiculous.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
who?
do teams pass away from Cox? Run away from Knighton and Alualu? Do they fear Monroe? Do Lewis or Thomas get double coverage?

I bet more teams are going to start throwing away from Cox because when healthy he shut some wid rexievers down like Kenny Britt and Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith when he was covering them. Oh yeah and I doubt many teams want to run up the middle of are D line because they wont get many yards. Im pretty sure some DEs rather line up on the other side so they wont have to deal withMonroe. Akso why do you keep mentioning Lewis and M-80 I know that had bad years and I have said nothing about them
I mention them, because, well, by salary they ARE GETTING PAID TO BE STAR PERFORMERS!!!
Why are you even trying to go tit for tat with me. You know I’m right.

I disagree
Mathis is savvy. It’s a trait that comes with experience. However, obviously the ceiling is higher for Cox. He can be a good one, but I’m not sure he’s ready to be one of those supposed “shutdown” corners.

Alualu was definetely the worst starter on our defense, but that isn’t technically a bad thing, because our defense was really good.
Anyone interested in making money easy and quick on the interne, let me know through twitter or facebook(preferably facebook).

DUDE ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Tyson is are second best defensive player on the team and definitly the best D lineman
Mincey had 8.5 sacks, 57 tackles, 4 forced fumbles, and an INT.
I’d say that was a better year than Alualu.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
not this year
it was a collective effort. Lowery, Landry and yes, even Mathis were more consistent than Alualu.
Alualu played hurt and probably should have shut it down but I give him credit, he didn’t.

to go through that list and see which picks have proven worthy of first round status from that draft.

Of the first rounders taken in 2010 (eliminating Alualu and Tebow for purposes of perceived bias)
I’d say maybe 10-12 could be classified as worthy of first round status.
Bradford

Berry
Okung

Earl Thomas

dude, why are you trolling me?
I was talking to Rhett. He is basing his info off a site that listed Alualu as the worst defensive tackle. Tyson had some really good games, but near the end of the year, it was very clear he was playing on 1 leg and had no push.

They don't have film
I’ve spoken with several of them and they rewatch the games by rewatching the television broadcasts from their homes. That means that they’re judging safeties even though they might only see them once every three plays.
Like I said, their opinions are worth noting because they’re some pretty smart guys, but they’re just opinions. Not special ones.
Follow me on Twitter
im referring more to the stats they take
i dont put hardly any weight into their grades of players because those are like you said, just opinions and are really subjective
but the stats they take are some of the best on the web that ive seen so if i see a guy like tyson is at the bottom of the league as far as stops and pressures i put quite a bit of weight into that

thanks
I truly believe his level of play was not up to par primarily due to injury, but we had so many guys on IR, I guess his injury was deemed not season ending, or perhaps he has a lot of pride. I kind of admire a kid that will go out there and battle and not bellyache or make excuses to the media for his poor play.
Hopefully it is an injury that can be fixed with rest and not surgery.

You’re already are stuck with a failed experiment… Blaine Gabbert.
You wouldn’t find a GM in the NFL that would trade Tebow for Blaine right now.
Next time you guys are winning playoff games (or within earshot of the playoffs), you let me know if any part of that feels like a failed experiment.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you (including you Elway).
And there were NOT more Tebow jerseys than Jaguars.

He said
“than the teal jerseys for any player”
So more Tebow than say MJD or Garrard or Taylor etc…
Not sure that makes it true, but it’s what he said.
While that may be true...
It still makes it sound like there were more Tebow fans in the stands. That day was a moral victory for the fans and the organization.

From an evil business perspective
This is a pretty smart thing for Khan to say. If the radical gator fans were brought back in the fold, even if temporary and for wrong reasons, it would increase the “fanbase”. Its an intriguing move

Maybe he needs to get some time under his belt in the NFL before we make statements like that. It is a business and drafting Tim would have brought 10 or 12 thousand Gator fans into the fold. However, when the team started losing because they changed their offense (like Denver did) and and the league figured out the gimmick (like it has) or Tebow got hurt (which he will if he keeps carrying the ball 30 times a game) everyone would be crying bust and attendance would be set back to the stone ages like the progress of the franchise when you miss on a QB.

It wouldn’t have brought anywhere close to 10,000 Gator fans into the fold. It’d have brought maybe 1,000 season tickets, if that. They did market studies on it.

The most interesting part of the interview, as Alfie points out...
is the reference to “our draft record has not been the best”. I like that. I hope he keeps everyone’s feet to the fire with regards to what they do. From Gene on down, everyone needs to be accountable. Maybe there was some complacency at 1 Stadium Drive before Khan sailed into town in his yacht.
The rest is just sports radio fodder. who gives a crap what he would’ve done. He didn’t own the team, and that time is gone.
Also, I love the fact that he says what he pleases. I hope he continues to do so. I am sick of all the cliches and platitudes and pablum we get from athletes on the reglar.

I know this is an unpopular opinion on this board...
but I would have loved the Jags drafting Tebow. I have followed this kid since high school and think it would have been awesome to see him in teal. I see all the reasons why they passed on him, the delivery ability to read defenses etc., but I would have really enjoyed watching him bring that intensity of his to EverBank. I don’t sit and moan about it, it’s over and done with, but I would have really enjoyed rooting for the hometown boy.

If Fox and McCoy did not make the call to scrap their offense to a read option, Tebow would have failed spectacularly
No different than when the Dolphins wildcatted their way to the playoffs a few years ago.

I too am a Gator fan.
I loved Tebow during his college career, but last time I checked football was a TEAM sport. I follow teams, not players. Everybody is always like, “I love Tebow because he is from Jacksonville.” Guess who else is from Jacksonville? THE JAGUARS!!!!!! and about 100 other NFL players.

I just think it would have been fun. I know the Jags are from jax… that was kinda my point. there’s no sense arguing about it and this isn’t a shot at the decision or some kind of commentary about the direction we chose, It’s just to say "that would’ve been a hell of a ride.
save your attitude i got one of my own
How much intensity can one bring to the game from the bench?
Tebow had a nice season in some respects (lower completion pct than Gabbert, btw), but it remains to be seen whether he can make it last. Most people agree it’s becoming more and more a passing league, and of all his attributes, passing talent is not among the more highly regarded. If he does well in Denver, more power to him. The Jags are just going in a different direction.

To be honest his comments probably will help him
Obviously he knows Tebow is not an option for the Jaguars. By making these remarks however he’s going to get some support from all those fans who believe that the Jaguars made a huge mistake by not getting Tebow. It’s the same way a politician will say “If I were in office when that bill was being voted on, I would have voted differently then the last guy” just to win over voters. Khan is just being a smart politician.
Editor of Redzone2Endzone
No doubt
Thats exactly what I got out of the story, and you are exactly right, we need an owner that is going to hold our personel accountable for bad picks, and will give his imput on what he thinks our team may need to be successful, I like this guy Khan, and I think our fanbase will be pleasantly surprised, by how he turns our club around. Its time we are relevant again, and its time we put these LA stories to rest with a decade of winning
This obsession people have with a 20-something year old dude is mind-boggling. Let it go already, grow up and move on.
I do like the fact that Khan is pretty much calling out Gene and this past inept Jaguar organization. Take the usual “rebuilding” company lines and shove it up your ass. After a decade of Peyton’s dominance and soon his departure it’s time to start winning right now or heads need to roll.

And that is why owners have no place in the draft war room
I think it is kind of obvious he is referring to the 10th overall pick and while financially that would have been great, in the long run it is an awful football decision to make.

really?!
I find that interesting considering the retrospective and the knowledge that tebow went in the first. I mean I am not sure it is a real story if he was saying it in general since I am not sure any Jaguar fan would have opposed Tebow if he fit value at a given pick.

When I first read the headline..

It’s the media’s general opinion of Tebow (with a very few exceptions) vs. the reality of Tim Tebow’s current skill set as it is.

I like his emotion....
and owners that have had the kind of success that he has have come to trust their instincts. I ma sure there are times in his business career that he made decisions that others were against. Of those decisions, some have panned out, and some have not. I would guess he has had more pan out than not. I think he looks at Timmy as just another one of those decisions that he would have made. Face it, we all know how tough it is to win in the NFL……it ain’t no joy ride to reach the level of success he has either! In closing, let me just say…..I AM DAMN GLAD WE DID NOT DRAFT TIM TEBOW!
I'd rather he had the decision to make in 2011 vs 2010 (after rookie wage scale kicked in)
I believe Tebow’s contract is higher than Gabbert’s.

Nah. The 25th pick in the 2010 draft wasn’t expensive.
It was really only those top 10 deals from 2004-2010 that killed salary caps. Like Derick Harvey. He made much more in his deal than Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you (including you Elway).
