Tim Tebow is the talk of the NFL since taking the helm at quarterback
for the Broncos he has lead them to 7 wins and only 1 loss. In the
process they have seized control of their division by beating the
Raiders, Chiefs, Chargers and by winning in spectacular fashion over the Bears.
In the process every aspect of his game has been scrutinized-his
throwing motion has been criticized by all the supposed experts,
his 3d down conversion percentage has been mentioned as a weakness
by the team president , Bronco great John Elway , and his completion
percentage has been less than 50%.
These are some of the statistics experts use to determine how
effective a QB is. But let's look at a number that REALLY matters
to NFL honchos-bucks!
Denver has the 5th best attendance and are averaging 74,714
butts in the seats per game. Let's compare that to oh let's say
Tebows home town team the Jacksonville Jaguars who are 26th in
attendance and average 62,173 fans per game. If you consider
that the average NFL ticket is $77 the Broncos are making $ 965657
per game more than the Jags.
Bronco ticket prices on the secondary market have increased
exponentially and presently the Broncos are ranked 5th in the
NFL in that category while the Jags are sinking and are ranked 30th
out of 32 teams. According to the website "Seatgeek" the average
Jaguar ticket price for the upcoming Titan game is $47 and only worth 47%
of face value while Bronco tickets have soared to $211 and the face
value of the ticket is up 235% for the upcoming Patriot game.
The bottom line is that Tim Tebow is making the Broncos
management look like geniuses. The Jaguars however..... Well the
Jags missed an extremely rare business opportunity that, most likely,
will never come their way again.
At least not in Jacksonville.
(way to go Mr. Weaver)
