Fred Taylor, an 11-year veteran, has been released by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor, the 16th leading rusher in NFL history, was due $6 million next season so the move comes as no surprise. The decision to cut Taylor paves the way for Maurice Jones-Drew to become the full-time starter. Jones-Drew had already started to get more of the load last season due to Taylor’s injuries.

The Jaguars may consider trying to re-sign the 33-year-old running back to a lesser contract.

• How would you rate your play this season?
  “I’d say it’s up and down. I wouldn’t say I’m totally satisfied. Some games I play better than others. But overall, I’m just disappointed we haven’t won more. I think I’ve done fine. It’s definitely been up and down. But I’ve had some good games.”

The terms ‘greatness’ and ‘best all-time’ have been thrown around for many figures in politics, sports, etc. Unlike Bill Clinton or Kevin Garnett, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow not only reaches both of those platforms, he sets the bar even higher.

After the thrill of leading Florida to its second national title in three seasons, Tebow has the ultimate choice of returning for more collegiate glory or testing the waters of the NFL. Everyone knows he has the ultimate passion for the game unlike any other, but will that translate to the professional ranks? Many think not. NFL Draft “expert” Mel Kiper thinks Tebow can’t play quarterback and should focus his incredible skills as … gulp … a tight end.
