But he isn't a locker room cancer

You're on the roster for that reason, do your job.

Even if it is the Jets, they've done nothing wrong here.

Agree. He is being paid to do what he is asked to do. Of course people will side with "Cant blame tebow" excuses.

Belichick would have suspended Tebow for conduct detrimental to the team. Ryan probably made Tebow a captain for the Chargers' game.

Calling all rump-swab apologists.

This can't possibly be true, he is a great person, a hard worker and would do anything to help the team win.........right?

Is it wise for a player without a position and soon to be out of a job to be acting like a spoiled brat?

What a fraud.

He is a good dude that doesn't mean he should continue taking that crap from this team. Good for him and it's about damn time.

They didn't introduce him to the team without any officials from the organization.
Coach kept referring to him as a football player from the first day and offered no real support.
He gained weight, played punt returner, tight end whatever they wanted and kept his mouth shut.
Anonymous quotes from the lockeroom badmouthing him.
Then despite the worst quarterback play I have ever seen he gets passed over for the starting position and he's supposed to run the Wildcard to help the 3rd string QB when he wasn't even given a shot?
Everyone knows Tebow went there cause he thought he'd get a shot. He didn't go to the Jets to just run the Wildcat and play punt protector for them. They destroyed whatever good image and value he had prior to him getting there.

I hope he raised his middle finger too.

I'll bet he used that middle finger to sign his paycheck, also. He gets paid to play. So, when he doesn't play he wants to and when he's directed to, he refuses. Which is it?

Football players play football. If reported as true, Tebow clearly thinks he's bigger than the team. It shouldn't surprise anyone apart from the Tebow apologists.

Well first everyone needs to keep in mind that these are just more "sources".

Quote:

In the postgame news conference, Tebow was asked who told him he wouldn't be playing in the Wildcat and Tebow responded, "It just kind of happens."

Ryan said during his news conference that they wanted to use Kerley because of the element of surprise. Afterward Ryan, through a team spokesman, said it was a "coach's decision" when asked specifically if Tebow had opted out.

But even if true, you need to look at the bigger picture. Football players are also working for a living and their value is important. And this team pretty much destroyed that without him really doing anything at all.

He is a quarterback and wants to play quarterback. He was sold a bill of goods. He only agreed to doing everything that was asked of him because he was promised a shot. He fulfilled his end of the bargain. They didn't. Screw the Jets.
