Dear Jesus, this long-suffering Lions' fan has a request

[LisaM]

Please don't let Tim Tebow go to the Lions! Invoke the Manning clause or whatever you want to call it if they want him. I will have a terrible time rooting for the Lions if he is on the team.

Please, everyone, join me in my prayer.

1. Dear Jesus as a Packer fan

Please let Teabow go to the Lions. Two words, Alex Smith.

[LisaM]

5. Who?

:rofl:

Seriously, I had to look him up!

[Auggie]

12. Those two words are kick in the ribs to this 49er fan.

Don't let Teabow come here either.

[Wetzelbill]

18. lol

Good one!

[trotsky]

2. He's a junior, isn't he?

Did he declare for the draft?

[LisaM]

6. Not yet, but he filed papers

But don't tell me that opportunist won't declare - especially after last night's game.

7. Scary. But with Millen gone I don't think the Lions would be dumb enough to take him.

He's one of those star QBs in college whose skill set isn't going to translate well to the NFL. Nor will his body hold up for a 16-game season if he's running it on every other play. I think some team would probably risk a 1st-rounder to take him, but probably not until the bottom half of the 1st round, and then probably as a project to convert him to TE.

3. Maybe Danny-boy Snyder will draft him!

:rofl:

[TZ]

8. Please no...

:puke:

[nickgutierrez]

16. Why - he doesn't seem like a Jerry Jones kind of guy to you? n/t

4. Don't worry, 1gobluedem found this:

NFL PASSES ON TEBOW, DRAFTS JESUS

Ignore that person on the right. I think she's actually a cleverly-disguised flotation device.

9. Most don't think he'll come out this year.....

The draft experts seem to think he's a 3rd round pick. If so, he may stay in school. 1st or 2nd round, IMO, one should always go.

In his 3 seasons he's only taken 16 snaps under center like they do in The NFL. There's some who think Florida will put in a fair percentage of their offense for next year with the QB working under center in order to keep him there and to practice and improve his NFL stock. Also, Florida just hired Scott, Loefler, former QB coach of Mich, who got great reviews for coaching Greise and Henne there.

Florida returns almost everyone. There are ZERO 1st and 2nd teamers on the Defense. Top 21 will be returning as most think The MLB, Spikes goes NFL.

Florida returns all but 2 or 4 starters on offense, too. So there maybe much incentive for the QB to return to.

Deadline is the 15th so we'll know in a few days.

[LisaM]

10. I'll go on record as saying I think he WILL

Since they won last night.

11. Being a Lions fan is already like being in a really bad relationship...

Maybe drafting Tebow will be just what you need to make a clean break with them. :)

[LisaM]

14. And he can go stay with Kitna in his 8000 sq. foot house

and they can do Bible study together.

[Captain Hilts]

13. I'm 'here' for you, as they say on the Lifetime Channel. nt

[LisaM]

15. Keep praying!

Honestly, requesting prayer vibes, ME? :rofl:

[mascarax]

17. My thoughts are with you (n/t)

[MrSlayer]

19. He's not going in the first round let alone first overall.

So I wouldn't worry too much.
