WVUFootball29 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Start eating. There is little doubt now that he will go fairly early in the draft. Only because he'll sell tickets. I can't picture any other team in the league picturing this kid as a number 1 pick.

WVUFootball29 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I'm not sure he should be a #1 pick, but I am fairly certain he will be. EDIT: That should read "1st round pick" know what you meant. I was referring to him as the possible first pick for a team. Like I said, the only team I think that would pull the trigger on him would be Jacksonville.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 know what you meant. I was referring to him as the possible first pick for a team. Like I said, the only team I think that would pull the trigger on him would be Jacksonville. He has been talked about as a 1st round pick for quite a while. John Clayton said he expected him to go in the middle of the 1st a couple weeks ago. If Jax takes him, he could go a little higher than that, but whatever team takes him it will no doubt be with their 1st pick.
Phlegm Alley Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 There is no doubt that Tebow is a 1st round pick. Tebow is going to be a fine football player IMHO. It may not be entirely at QB, but he just won't accept failure as an option.
olivier in france Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hey thanks for chiming in a total nonsensical way. MY comparison was between Buffalo and Jacksonville. Anybody with an IQ over 30 would choose Jacksonville all day, every day, if given the choice. Unless, of course, they couldn't bear to leave WNY because of their need to be close to Bills. i'm not from WNY and i'd chose Buffalo anyday with or without the Bills!
John in Jax Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 i'm not from WNY and i'd chose Buffalo anyday with or without the Bills! Look, I appreciate everyone sticking up for Buffalo and WNY, and giving their own personal opinion, and I understand it.....but in the last 10 years, there's NOT ONE "Best Places to Live" or "Best Cities Rated" that has Buffalo rated higher than Jax, or even Buffalo higher than ANYWHERE in Florida. Reality sucks sometimes, but as they say, "it is what it is."
BillsWatch Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Reality sucks sometimes, but as they say, "it is what it is." Sort of like Jacksonville so Jacksonville must be very close to reality. I have worked in Jacksonville and found small towns in midwest more interesting than Jacksonville. I'd choose Buffalo any day rather than Jacksonville.
Alaska Darin Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Look, I appreciate everyone sticking up for Buffalo and WNY, and giving their own personal opinion, and I understand it.....but in the last 10 years, there's NOT ONE "Best Places to Live" or "Best Cities Rated" that has Buffalo rated higher than Jax, or even Buffalo higher than ANYWHERE in Florida. Well there's the measure I look for. Top 10 lists.
Magox Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 What is it with people from Jacksonville on this board? It's as if they move down south, plant themselves near a college town and suddenly become a penis with a suntan.

The Dean Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Just out of curiosity have you lived anywhere else? While you didn't ask me, I have lived in Niagara Falls (a real hell-hole now), Buffalo, Boston, San Francisco, LA, Huntington (Long Island), Milwaukee (for a short time) and now St. Augustine. There are some very nice places to live down here. Jacksonville just doesn't happen to be one of them. There are decent neighborhoods, to be sure, but let's not pretend J-Vills is a bustling metropolis or that there is so much to do there. It's a hick-town. A place where a chain restaurant is considered a fine eating establishment. St Augustine is nice, Ponte Vedra is nice...but Jacksonville? Puhleeze. But tell me, other than "go to the beach" or golf, what is there to do on a Sunday afternoon that you can't do in WNY once the weather changes? In Buffalo you can go skiing, or enjoy other winter activities. You can go a number of Casinos in the USA and Canada. And, Toronto (a real big city) is just a drive away. Where do you go on Sunday that makes it so difficult to go to an NFL game? And Magox, Jacksonville isn't a college town. They may like college football, but there is no large college of any consequence in Jacksonville. Buffalo is a far better college town.
Ramius Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Jacksonville is a garbage heap that happens to sit next to the ocean. Not too unlike new jersey. Both places are infested with inbred trailer trash. The notion that there's anything to do in jacksonville is highly comical. Jacksonville likes to think it's a "big city" but it really isnt. The only reason the metropolitan numbers are so high is because the "city limits" of jacksonville cover a huge area. On I-10 driving into Jax, you hit the "city limits" 22 miles outside of downtown. So basically a little crap hole city decided to include all of the surrounding trailer parks as part of the "metropolitan area." John in jax is likely posting from his trailer, sitting there with his can of natty light combing his mullet and hoping the jags draft tebow so he can have something else to wear on a night out instead of his Dale Earnhardt Jr shirt and his cutoff jean shorts.
Lv-Bills Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 That's what I think is funny about this thread. People act as if football isn't fun. Maybe it's not fun to you, but that doesn't mean other don't enjoy it. If watching/going to football games is a chore, then you're not a fan(atic). And at that point, who cares? I know, right? LOL. I golf here in VA and there are some fabulous courses. I visit family. I also go for rides on nice days. These three things seem to be mentioned in this thread several different times. LOL. NONE of those things compare to going to the Ralph to see a live football game. My mom lives one block from the beach, with a crows nest on top of her house, and she goes to a smoky bar and watches the Bills in VA Beach every Sunday. You can still spend time with your family. Your friends. You almost always make some new friends. This crap cracks me up. The beach is there allllllll year. The Bills games are 16 glorious Sundays a year. It's awesome. I can't wait to drive up tomorrow for the game Sunday. Imagine that.....I could go to the beach this weekend at my moms.....or to a Bills game. I'm heading north. Funny thing is, my mom wishes she could also join my wife and I at the game.

Reality sucks sometimes, but as they say, "it is what it is." I grew up in Pittsburgh and am now a Bills season ticket holder. I have no allegiance to the Buffalo area other than me somehow becoming a Bills fan. I now live in VA. I'm about as impartial as you can get. I have never ONCE in my life thought about going to Jacksonville for any reason........ever. If it wasn't for the Jags, I wouldn't even know much about Jax, if at all really. Now Buffalo, with Niagara Falls lurking around the corner, and Canada right there.....and most of all, a city that cares about it's team....I'd take it anyday of the week. With the casino's, Toronto, the Bills, and the food, I'd take Buffalo any day of the week. ANY day.

Well done, Ramius. And it's not just the second glass of Sauvignon Blanc talking. That was pretty good. "Paper Moon" - Nat King Cole

Like you I ahve lived in many different places and have been fortunate enough to see a bit of the world. In my early 20's I could not wait to get out of upstate NY. Now I am of the belief that it may not be such a bad palce to return to. Don't get me wrong, Buffalo is not a world class city but I can travel.

It has neighborhoods, not just developments. I'll take a city like Buffalo, Pittsburgh or Milwaukee over Jacksonville, any day.
The Senator Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Buffalo has real character. True - just not as many, since you moved out.
