National media reactions: Jaguars cut Tim Tebow
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ experiment with Tim Tebow has come to an end.
The former quarterback-turned-tight end was cut on Tuesday. Per usual, another headline surrounding him rippled across the national media landscape.
Here are some of those national reactions to Tebow being released:

Tim Tebow's career is really just a live action version of the Air Bud movie series … but if Air Bud was bad at all the sports

The Jaguars have cut Tim Tebow. Even in defeat, Tebow remains 100% classy. https://t.co/pfHjAkqLjF

Good of the Jaguars to release Tebow now so that he has plenty of time to latch on with another team

The Jaguars cut Tim Tebow because he was a better leader then Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars coudnt have a existencial threat to their future QBs fragile ego

We have to stop with this bullshit about Tebow’s work ethic is just so much better than anyone else in the league/locker room. It’s complete nonsense. https://t.co/kHythrWTFt

I’ve always liked Tebow. Pleasant fellow. Not great at his jobs. Describes a lot of us really.

The #Jaguars and coach Urban Meyer took a chance, an experiment. It didn’t work out, but a fascinating no-risk gamble. Tim Tebow now released.

Tebow getting cut isn’t a shock. It was obvious he couldn’t play tight end. Any other coach doesn’t even give him a chance.

Tim Tebow is an incredible man, but separate that from Tim Tebow the football player.
He needed to be cut by the #Jaguars, he was costing his teammates a shot at their dream.

Seeing that I was cut 8 times in my career, I will not be poking any fun at Tim Tebow.

Shocking that the Tim Tebow Jaguars charade ended the second Urban Meyer actually tried to pull it off in a game #sideshow

i know literally nothing about football, but I know enough to know that this sentence would be more exciting if it were "Tim Tebow has released jaguars" https://t.co/58HaUpJUNd
