I think that Tebow would work out - one way or another. The lower his salary - the more likely they could find a place for him on the team.
I don't know if Tebow would beat out an NFL QB or not. I think he would have to play to draw fans though.
Jaguars may have to make a deal with him like - we'll bring you on as a QB - but in case you don't make it as the starting QB - are you willing to play WR, RB, FB, TE, or whatever to get on the field? Keep Tebow as the 2nd or 3rd string QB - but in the meantime play him in the slot, as wildcat QB, etc.
I don't really follow the NFL enough to know how "dual threat" QBs do. I guess Michael Vick was doing well before the dog incident. How is the guy from Texas (Vince Young?) doing? I thought that Alex Smith (Utah and ex Urban Meyer QB) failed in NFL.

Ya know.. I agree... but.. if Tebow doesnt live up to expectations...
they may end up losing money on him.
