Tim Tebow has received all kinds of scrutiny because of his footwork and his attributes as a quarterback. During his Senior Bowl practices in Mobile, Alabama, his chances of success as a successful NFL quarterback decreased tremendously. A while back, rumors spread about Tebow being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars for an increase in attendance at the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. Just recently, a Jacksonville Jaguar player has been criticizing Tebow and he doesn’t seem too welcomed in Jacksonville anymore.

While at a local bank in Jacksonville, Offensive lineman Uche Nwaneri was asked about Tebow joining the team. Nwaneri posted the top 5 reasons why Tebow is not a good quarterback on the Jaguar website. On his list which was reported by Yahoo.com, he said, “1. He can’t throw, PERIOD. 2. He can’t read any coverage other than probably cover 2 or man.
3. The QB Wildcat WILL NOT WORK IN THIS LEAGUE. PERIOD. 4. He doesn’t know how to take a snap from center.
5. HE CAN’T THROW, and that’s really something you either have or not.”

Although, it appears as if filling the seats in the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium is more important than the skill of a player at this point for the Jaguars. Whether or not Tebow is warmly welcomed in Jacksonville by his possible future teammates, Tebow may very well be drafted to Jaguars, still. If he is brought into the Jaguars’ program, you can guarantee there will be many Jag, Gator, and other sports fans and enthusiasts filling the stadium to watch the award and national championship winning quarterback test his skills behind his unfriendly linemen in 2010.
