[ausbacker]

That's in 2014, after his current Jets contract expires.

=============================================

I didn't say it *will* happen. Just that *if* it happens, you're gonna be pissed.

 

[shmessy]

Just for the record I am a Christian

I've seen it first hand - What you think is going to happen and what IS going to happen are 2 very different things.

The Tebow Circus is upon you and it doesn't die down - it builds and builds and builds

Just wait till the Tebow fans start showing up

Sonny, this isn't our first rodeo.

This is the largest fan forum of the New. England. Patriots.

This isn't some slap**** team we're talking about.

Did you not read what was written? Who cares if he won a game against a very depleted Steelers' defense?

We are discussing his play. Not his team's play. And his play is very, very bad.

He scored 32 NFL TDs before showing up to the Jets , he cant be all that bad , specifically when he was #1 in TD efficiency in the red zone in 2011 , also was the main reason Denver went form 24th in rushing to 1st in a 5 game span.

I find that his detractors tend to exaggerate how bad he is. Hes not a good passing QB but he is a heck of a football player.

I like the signing - he is a football player...

Does Tebow have practice squad eligibility? (I am kind of serious think he would be great on the PS to start the season)

But that's a big issue I have with him. He has vocally come out saying that he only wants to play QB. He's not good enough to consistently play QB in the NFL.


From what I've read, he will be playing another position though, but what good will that do? He can't catch the football any better than our 3rd or 4th TE. We haven't used a FB consistently in years. It's just an unnecessary signing.

A lot of emotion involved in a nothing move of an end of the roster spot. I fail to see anything dire coming from this. He either fits in and contributes or gets released. No crazy management making predictions.
For Tebow it is all positive, it gives him a chance to try another position without the press causing a frenzy or watching every move. It keeps him out of the spotlight from the very same press, no interviews, no ESPN down the street looking for news.
It's a win/win if this works out. And if it doesn't who cares.

OMG LOL you have got to be kidding me. I'm starting to wonder about this team. he will never see the field as a qb,. nothing to se here.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but in his full year with DEN his completion % was 46.5%. Lowest in the league by almost 5 points. He was NOT a good QB by any measure. His team was a success in spite of his performance not because of it.

The "in spite of his performance" statement you made is wildly inaccurate. Denver was 7-24 in the previous 31 games before Tebow became starter (worst in the NFL during that span)and they went 8-5 the rest of the way.

The 7-1 streak had as much to do with Tebow only turning the ball over a few times as it had to do with the defense rallying..."rallying" being the key word as Champ Bailey and Von MIller both said Tebow energized and rallied the team .

I'll take champ baley and Von Miller's words over yours.

Re: Here's all WE NEED to know about the Tebow signing...

This is the worst day in the history of the franchise

Apparently you weren't around when Bobby Grier was running the team into the ground with his idiotic personnel decisions. We have nothing invested in Tebow so if he doesn't produce he is gone. What is your problem with that.

To me, this is it, in a nutshell.

The real reason why Weklah left...

If Teblow makes it here, then I hope that he can play better than Ocho Stinko did.

I'm sure that BB will stifle the media.

Because of the embarrassment I feel being a fan of a team with tebow on it

Against the dumbest defensive alignment in modern playoff history. Man-0 against any QB lining up in the NFL is dumb.

I think folks on both sides need some perspective. He isn't a joke and he isn't a good QB. But he is a talented athlete and a good football player.

That record was more a result of Kyle Orton sucking than Tebow Excelling

 

[Gunnails]

Granted, I don't know much.

I was surprised the Jets after benching Sanchez brought in third string Elroy rather then Tebow, I did not like that, felt Tebow almost deserved the start.

The story goes that Tebow plays well when the game is on the line or just during game time period. Rumor is that he is just awful in practice, and thus the Jets reluctance to use him in live games.
