Tebow a Jet. Smart move or not?

[MIB41]

Tebow will serve as inspiration for Sanchez to play with more consistency. But I don't consider Tebow a serious threat to Sanchez. Tebow can't shine Sanchez' shoes.

Hells No! The first time Sanchez throws a pic their fickle fan base will call for Tebow to step in. Sanchez already has a confidence problem and he doesn't do so well under pressure. Really it doesn't matter because everything the Jets seem to do goes wrong anyway.

From a completely different perspective, I really hope not. Sports radio around here already spends enough time on the Jets (and Tebow) as it is and I certainly don't need to hear about either one more than I already do.

For a team that has its share of distraction, dysfunction and controversy, the Jets just doubled it all.

Today is a definitely a good day to watch Around the Horn and Pardon The Interruption!

I am a lifelong Jets fan, so controversial moves is not new territory. I like Tebow as a person and player; he was great with Denver. If Tebow can succeed anywhere it is with a team that fancies the run, and well... that is the Jets. With all of the locker room turmoil from last year I wonder how Tim will take to his new environment. If Tim can help calm the locker room and improve the run through wildcat or whatever means possible then I believe he can succeed as a Jet. Besides, Sanchez needs pushed hard if he is ever going to develop and Tebow does not know the meaning of taking it easy; he is a competitor plain and simple.

Between this and Manning throwing for the Broncos, it is going to make for an exciting NFL season!

Are Sanchez and Tebow going to compete for the starting job, or is Tebow expected to be a QB2 for them?

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.

Good point! I would agree with you there.

[Megospidey]

Any team Tebow goes to is not for his skill, but the attention and revenue! Lets face it, Tebows attitude and positiveness brings the fans to the seats!

This is GOLD for any team!

I think it's a smart move. It is definitely placing Sanchez on notice. Tebow might not be your typical NFL QB, but one thing that seems to resonate over and over is that he is a leader and works super hard at continually improving his performance.

I agree. The media will have to be very careful in their criticism of him because of his "good guy" status. Mark Sanchez got lazy because he had no competition. You have now been served Mr. Sanchez.

[megomania]

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.

The problem with that is Jacksonville has to want him and obviously they don't since they also passed on him in the draft. Could be he's just not that good of a pro-style QB. Not everyone is in the position to want to tailor their offense around him. And that's what you have to do.

Good move it'll motivate Sanchez and Tebow will either make it or break under the Media here......Jersey sales will hit the roof

I like the kid so I root for him......except when my Giants pound him in the dirt....

[MIB41]

Well it makes their starter look brilliant now...

I liked Tebow but now i must hate him cause he is now the enemy. I can't freakin stand the Jets.

[Kotter]

Instant QB controversy? Didn't the Jets just resign Sanchez to an extention?
