March 21, 201214 yr It would take a whole lot of something wrong/bad for me to root against anyone. With Tebow I don't think he has Pro QB skills and all the God stuff rubs me the wrong way but rubbing me the wrong way and rooting against someone are not even in the same ballpark. He doesn't have the Pro QB skills that you want, but he fits in the ground 'n pound philosophy and he isn't that far behind Mark Sanchez as people believe. Sanchez has not improved. Tebow starting at QB making $2mill/year compared to Sanchez and you get less interceptions...I don't know if that isn't worth giving up the ten completion percentage points you get.
March 21, 201214 yr Man, this just extends the craziness. Wish he would have been traded to someplace where he could just sit back, learn from a top of the line QB, and continue improving his skills.
March 21, 201214 yr I am a Jets fan... and a Tebow fan... I just don't think the two go together. I am not crazy about this move although I admit it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't think Sanchez is the answer in NY, and I certainly don't think Tebow is his replacement. Rex will have to utilize Tebow in just the right way for this to work, as I don't see Tebow as a full time starting QB in the NFL, he just doesn't have the skill set for it. Like the posters above have said, he is a situational QB and he is effective in the ground and pound offense. Time will tell, indeed.
March 21, 201214 yr Remember how Tebow increased interest in the Denver Broncos among people who did not care about the team prior to Tebowmania? And all of the Bronco merchandise that sold with Tebow's name on it? The Jets just guaranteed increased sales of their merchandise, plus a broader fan base (& TV ratings). Not a bad investment for a 4th round pick.
March 21, 201214 yr Rex needs to talk to Mark Sanchez and let him know two things: 1. Tebow is NOT your backup. Drew Stanton is. Tebow is going to be on the field in situations that dictate it, like Wlidcat or goal line. You can't be threatened by that. It is like having a third receiver or a pass rush specialist or a nickel corner. Tebow has a defined role for this team. 2. This is your offense and your team. If you do not want to hear folks screaming for Tebow to play, you take this thing by the throat and take control of this team. Play hard and play well and you will not have an issue with Tebow.
March 21, 201214 yr @NotBillWalton: Today a 16 year old girl and a pro football player shared an elevator in NY. One is a virgin. The other is March Sanchez' girlfriend

March 21, 201214 yr Jacksonville made the real mistake. Their frachise would be most talked about in sports if they would've landed Tebow. Not to mention, their stadium would be filled every game. As for the Jets, why in the world would they get Tebow? Craziness. That would be short term for Jax, only winning will keep the seats filled. IMO they have a better young prospect at QB on their roster. The Jets lockerroom was out of control at the end of the year, is this a going to help???

Our opinions of Tebow's QB skills aside your post makes my initial point that this will cause a controversy on what I already consider a dysfunctional team.

March 22, 201214 yr Apparently Tebow will get to pick which team he is traded to. I see him going home to Jacksonville.
March 22, 201214 yr Pete Prisco says the Jags told Tebow he's be their #3 QB and that is why he chose the Jets.
March 22, 201214 yr Not a bad move. They want to get back to the ground and pound, which also helps out their defense. There is no better guy to have if you want to have a running offense. I wouldn't be suprised to see them basically make it a two QB system. Have a lot of series with Tebow running it as QB, and then when they have to pass or get down in games Sanchez starts. Obviously Sanchez will start the year, but if he struggles I could see it going down like that.
