Tebow a Jet. Smart move or not?

[Random Axe]

Sanchez might as well get a rear view mirror for his helmet with as much looking over his shoulder as he'll be doing. I looked it up. Sanchez is Spanish for the word Orton. The only human beings who wanted him in Denver were his fanbase and their previous coach. He's gotta be smart enough to know he's being used as a pawn here.

Tebow in the Big Apple? Remember the last time we heard a story about a Christian and an apple? Could be trouble. Poetically, his career is about to be born again.

And how about the Broncos? During the recruitment phase, Manning provided Denver with a disc containing all his medical information. Sadly it was the one from between his fifth and sixth vertebrae. I really hope this works out for him cause I genuinely like him. You can't help but notice the dynamics, though. The Broncos went from a guy who had the nerve not to throw the ball to a guy who doesn't have the nerves to throw the ball.

Couldn't bear to read the entire thread. Where are all you experts come Mego league FF season. lol

Not a Jets fan, but I'm curious to see if they can make the Wildcat work. Tebow is 6'3" and about 240. We know he can run with the ball, and we know he can pass. I'd like to see if he can block & catch, and then they'd be able to line him up anywhere - including tight end.

Wow now i just read this.
Jets officials are strongly encouraging new recruit Tim Tebow to live in New Jersey to keep him as far away as possible from the temptations of New York's nightlife, a source close to the team has said.
Um because tebow is a known wildman party dude? Jets need to get a grip.

six months from now Tebow will shoot himself in the leg after an altercation at a NY nightclub, involving 2 known drug dealers and his crack addicted "date".
As he is dragged away by police, bystanders will hear him yelling in a drunken slur - "$@&% you Manning! You ruined everything!"

Theres nothing I like about the Jets.They should have sent him to Jacksonville,they would have raked in the money off of his jersey sales.

I read something that stated That Jacksonville has the Absolute Worse Merchandise Sales in the NFL. Even when Like Coughlin was there ..., and they were Not a Real Bad Team... Fans just don't buy thier Stuff. I'm sure some cash woulda been made off a T-Bow Jersey ...., But Times that by like Infinity ..., and thats What a Jet-Bow Jersey is gonna sell.

Why would a Giant or Jet want to live in New York City anyway? They play in New Jersey.

No matter what kind of heart he has or competitive nature the question is what is he going to do on a team that just invested in another quarterback? He's not even going to be the starter and if they only use him to run the wildcat, it won't work. The wildcat is only successful if the QB is a threat to throw the ball. Every time Tebow steps on the field, the other team is gonna know he's gonna run it. It just doesn't make any sense why the Jets would take him and way Tebow picked to play there. If the Jets didn't just give Sanchez the contract extension, you could see the logic of them going in a different direction but now they have two guys for one position and no team wins when there isn't one definitive quaterback.

In my opinion what it comes down to is the Jets are ****ed the Giants won the SB and got all the media attention. They wanted to do something to trump the Giants and figured Tebow Time was it. I agree with you - I don't think it will work strictly because Tebow isn't a good passing QB. He's a one-trick pony. So it was all publicity for the Jets. Rex Ryan now gets to talk about it for months on end. In the long run I think it will just be a nightmare for the Jets. For Tebow, he probably saw NY as a better way to be marketed rather than podunk Jacksonville.

Well said. He is super competitive and will always give you his best. He doesn't have the natural talent of other elite athletes, but I do think this intangible quality is something that should not be overlooked.

Tebow reminds me of Terry Bradshaw, Bradsaw had a strong arm but was erratic and took him a while to find himself and when he did boy he made the best of it.......

Also didn't hurt Bradshaw to have two guys named Lynn Swann and John Stallworth as receivers and Rocky Bleier and Franco Harris as his backs.......

And a ton of heart! Yeah, he doesn't have the skills other QBs have but you can never count him out. He'll give you the best he's got on each and every play and is a team player. Not all pro athletes can say that. I like the kid and will root for him no matter where he goes.

Who knows? Maybe this will be the wake up call Sanchez needs.

[MegoMark71]

And now it's official, he is a jet.

[MIB41]

Send in the clowns. Never mind.They're already here...

[Marvelmania]

I would only disagree on this point: Tebow is a red-zone athlete who will get it in the endzone with his legs. He does have skill in that area.
