Some Tim Tebow fans have filed a White House petition asking President Barack Obama to aid the unemployed quarterback in landing a job. Cult-like fans of the recently waived New Jets signal caller are requesting that Obama personally call Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell and demand that he sign the 25-year-old to his hometown team.
According the Orlando Sentinel, the actual petition reads: “Jacksonville Jaguars fans want the team to sign recently released QB Tim Tebow. However, rookie general manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars David Caldwell is blocking this from happening. If the Jaguars sign & START Tebow, home games will be sold out, sales will spike, the team will win and the fans will be happy. Mr. Caldwell is ignoring lots of facts about the misunderstood Tim Tebow while in Denver: Passer rating of 125.6 is highest ever in Broncos postseason history. Most yards per completion (31.6) in NFL playoff history.100.5 QB rating is best ever for a Broncos QB in his first start. Third most passing yards in a game by a Bronco rookie QB. (308, in his 2nd start), First 15+ point comeback in the final 3 minutes of an NFL game since the merger,7 game winning drives in just 16 games!”
All the Tebow support comes despite growing speculation that the former Florida Gators Heisman winner’s days of playing the position at such lofty levels are clearly behind him.
Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon even went on record late last week in asserting he feels Tebow doesn’t pass well enough to even play the position in the Canadian Football League. Moon starred in the CFL, winning five straight Grey Cup titles, before returning to the NFL and playing another 17 seasons enroute to Canton.
Currently, Tebow’s NFL career completion percentage is just 47.9 percent, among the lowest in the league.
