If you're tired of people lobbying for Tim Tebow to be an NFL quarterback, you'd better hope the Jacksonvlle Jaguars fix their quarterback situation sooner than later. Tebow is one of Jacksonville's favorite sons, of course, and the fact that he hasn't proven to be a functional player at the position since the Denver Broncos schemed brilliantly around his mechanical liabilities in 2011 won't stop the Tebow faithful.

One of those faithful decided to make his/her feelings known in an aerial fashion by flying the banner pictured above over Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium as the Indianapolis Colts were throttling the home team.

Chelsea Gates of GatorVision TV brought this to our attention via Twitter.

Starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert, back on the field for the first time since Week 1 due to a hand injury, had already thrown two picks, including one returned for a touchdown by Colts cornerback Darius Butler, around the time this message flew over the Jags' offensive disaster. And when Tim Tebow seems to be a viable starting option, at least from a "How can it possibly be worse?" angle, your team has serious problems at the quarterback position.

He was fascinated by FO's idea to combine Bill James with Dr. Z, and wrote for the site for six years. He wrote a game-tape column called "Cover-2" for a number of years, and contributed to six editions of "Pro Football Prospectus" and the "Football Outsiders Almanac." In 2009,  Doug was invited to join Yahoo Sports' NFL team, and covered Senior Bowls, scouting combines, Super Bowls, and all sorts of other things for Yahoo Sports and the Shutdown Corner blog through June, 2013. Doug received the proverbial offer he couldn't refuse from SI.com in 2013, and that was that. Doug has also written for the Seattle Times, the Washington Post, the New York Sun, FOX Sports, ESPN.com, and ESPN The Magazine.  He also makes regular appearances on several local and national radio shows, and has hosted several podcasts over the years. He counts Dan Jenkins, Thomas Boswell, Frank Deford, Ralph Wiley, Peter King, and Bill Simmons as the writers who made him want to do this for a living. In his rare off-time, Doug can be found reading, hiking, working out, searching for new Hendrix, Who, and MC5 bootlegs, and wondering if the Mariners will ever be good again.
