Of all the hosts on that network you single out the most professional?

my bad

nfln had it wrong all day.

I just listened to the interview with Tebow. He was never given any choice at all.

I do think had he balked at the choice they'd have gone with Jacksonville. The difference was the swap of a 7 for a 6... But that shouldn't have been an issue since Jacksonville's 4th was at 6 and the Jets was 13.

The one claiming it was his choice was his agent. He'd likely been working on this deal since Manning visited Denver. He likely talked Tebow into seeing the JETS as a better overall opportunity (since he is conveniently Rex and Sparano's agent too...) for his platform as well as potential career. They will have a package for him and he will have ample shots to force Sanchez to the bench - like every time they are losing in the 4th quarter. In Jacksonville the new owner wanted him for PR effect while the GM he retained and football people that GM assembled had been adamantly opposed and likely would not have accommodated him once he was there.

Contrary to what you hear going forward, Tebow and Sanchez both want to be starters and this is going to be a WWF death cage match behind the scenes. JETSfans being who they are will be putty in Tim's hands. Until he doesn't get them any farther than the Sanchize did. The JETS FO knew on some level they had no shot going forward so they did what desperate men always do, manufacture a scenario they can sell short term to an equally desperate constituency and an idiot owner who measures success in media relevance.

Adding Tebow will also help our locker room issues and will definitely bring us together.

Santonio Holmes just blew a gasket.

Demoted to a swabbie on the RMS Titanic.

 

[ATippett56]

The NYPost is running a poll asking who should start. Tebow leads 46% to Sanchizes 27% the rest don't like the trade. Instant QB controversy

The other 27% were too busy having a snack.

You guys laugh it up now.

We faced a JEST team with a bad QB last year. Now we have to face them with TWO bad QBs.

Rex is an off-season super bowl coach, a first ballot hall of fame guy... along with "ManGenius." And Tebow is a first ballot hall of fame QB, along with Sanchize and Pennington.... you seem to forget Chad was drafted AHEAD of TFB...

Guys I don't know about you but I am shaking in my boots right now, nay, I am Tebowing, praying for the strength to keep both eyes open through both games...

...perhaps for reasons other than fear, however.

pure facade...belying his New York entrenched hatred of all things N.E....he is the driving force behind continuous and deliberate lying in regards to his own lifelong biases re: the Patriots. I wouldn't believe him if he said the sun will rise in the east at 6am over the ocean in Cape Cod Bay.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Kind of gratified to see (so far) that NFLN hasn't started in w/comparisons of "bountygate" to "spygate," at least not that I saw.

It'll only take one disgruntled Saint to start it though.

So far they're going with the "FU, we'll make it through this, our whole city almost drowned we made it through that..."

PS, wouldn't want to play them next season. We don't, do we?

 

[TyronePoole]

don't get me wrong I'm happy this circus is gonna happen, but there's a >1% chance that this becomes the most insufferable situation of all time if Tebow succeeds. Say there's no locker room issues, Sanchez plays ok and Tebow turns into a decent FB and they have a good wildcat. It will be 24/7 Jets ballwashing and bandwagoning on an epically nauseating level never before seen.

you should be worried, tebow beat you guys 46-10 in the playoffs...oh wait....

I'm not going to jump on the "this is nonsense" bandwagon. It will turn out to be a bad move if an immature and not-so-bright Sanchez, already dubbed "The Pouter" by some in the New York Media, deals with this in his typical adolescent manner. That, to me, is the main risk of this move for the Jets.

However, while I have never been sold on the Tebow as an NFL starting QB (Elway was right), I think, if he is ready to accept the role, he could be a dangerous situational player behind another QB. He could do everything from go in as a pure FB/RB, to taking a direct snap instead of the QB, to running the option after a pitchout, to just being a decoy, to lining up at QB in a single wing (Wildcat) formation.

All he has to do is help the Jets move the chains and either score or keep the other team off the field in a few critical situations to be worth what they are paying him.

I might be wrong but I'm not going to dismiss this right away.

Based on info from Schefter, sounds to me like Jax offered a better deal.

Jacksonville offered to pay back Denver $3 million - vs. Jets $2.5 - for Tim Tebow. Plus, Jacksonville's 4th-rd pick was more valuable.

Sorry, but someone already did the same poster. Check back in the early part of this thread and you can see it.

Tebow wanted to go to the Jets.

I would love to hear an explanation for why the Broncos thought the Jets were a better deal for the franchise. I'm sure there is one but maybe it is just as simple as the Jets got there first.

Tebow wanted to go to the Jets.

I read that Tebow wanted to play for Wrex after watching Hard Knox. If things go badly rocker Fat Boy will be fired and Tebow will be stuck playing for another coach.

The Jests gave them a sixth round pick and paid most of his salary. Jacksonville would only give up a Fourth.

I think the option, Wildcat, etc. are gimmicks that the rest of the league have caught onto. The only reason Tebow had any success with the option last year was because he ran it 60 or 70 times a game. Most of the time teams shut it down. He burnt them on the times they didn't.

Just look at the Jets/Denver game. The Jets shutdown the option pretty well all game and one missed tackle and the cowardice of Cromartie allowed Tebow to get a big 30 yard TD run.

You have Tebow run the option 5-10 times a game rather than 60 times and I think the play is successful maybe one or two times at most against most teams.

There is a reason why the Wildcat was not used in the NFL and when it was introduced it was pretty much dropped in the league in about two years. The only advantage that scheme had was it was new and people didn't know how to stop it. Once teams figured it out, it was useless. The same with the option and Tebow. And I think the Pats have figured it out already.
