Football Jets & Tebow - Page 4

Mile High Mania · 11-14-2012, 08:12 PM

So, if there is another thread on this one - sorry, didn't see it.

I think everyone expected all this to happen at some point, I'm surprised it's taken so long to be honest. Here's the thing - why trade for Tebow if you're not going to use him more than a few gimmick plays a game?

Tebow is a solid guy - great teammate and he will always give you 100%. Can you say that about Sanchez? Sure, some guys on the team don't like him - you really think they all believe in Sanchez? He just throws a bit prettier and his stats are a bit better... they're still losing.

The Jets are 3-6 ... Sanchez is barely above 50% completion with about 1900 yards, 10 TDs and 9 INTs.

Last year, Tebow passed for about 1700 yds - 12 TDs / 6 INTs - passed under 50%, but ran for another 660 yds and 6 TDs. Denver was 7-4 with him... they won a playoff game. No, it wasn't "all due to Tebow", but the kid makes things happen. Sanchez does not.

If you compare Sanchez's 9 games this year to Tebow's 11 games last year ... what's really different? As a QB - both stat lines look like puke, but Tebow adds another dimension and production on the ground and they won.

Everyone has known that Sanchez is no good --- sure, he has a place in the NFL, but it's as a backup. The Jets have injury issues and nothing to work with on offense. Sanchez was mediocre with good talent around him, now they stink.

Why not put Tebow in more ... why not let him start a game? The Jets aren't going anywhere... put him in and try to fix your QB spot in the offseason, neither is a long-term fix.

Split the QB duty, get creative... doing the same ol' thing isn't working.

Is Tebow a great passing QB? No, but he can be effective - we all saw that last year. Can lightning strike twice with him? I doubt it, but who knows - why not try. Losing sucks, so if they keep losing - what is really lost by making the switch? Sanchez isn't going to turn things around - their team is miserable.

I say... go with Tebow, why not? See if he can do something... you really just never know.

I want to have Tim Tebow's child.

Everyone has known that Sanchez is no good ---

I guess the Jets didn't know because they just inked him to a 5 year deal!

They gave him a $58M extension, right? Money well spent... I don't even think Sanchez can bring to a team what a guy like Orton can bring to a team.

Sanchez is only going to be 'good' with great talent. He's not a leader... he's not a guy to put a team on his back and say "I got it". He's just not, he was surrounded by insane talent at USC and now he's struggling.

Good luck with all that.

I know this, a team and a city rallied around him last year and the team improved. Why not try it again?

That may have been the biggest fraud of a season in NFL history. The guy's a joke of a QB, but that may indeed be better than Sanchez.

In any other year where the planets don't align, what would the Donks be doing at QB right now? I'll betcha Tebow would be a part of that plan whatever it is.

The Great Assweiler would be ripping the league a new one in their minds.

I think the Broncos and their staff got about as much and as far as they could out of Tebew last season. Last year was his ceiling. Why do you think they got rid of him after he won a playoff game? Who does that?

Anyhow, its doubtful if any NFL team is ever going to go "All in" with Tebow at this point.

Those morons thought he was a franchise QB

I don't disagree... simply saying, Sanchez is a failure - you have another QB sitting there and while he may not be much better, why not try something else?

This, hell Rex didn't even want Tebow. Most believe it was an order by Woody Johnson to sell the stupid PSLs and the most expensive ****ing tickets in the nfl. It didn't work, the players on the team don't like either qb and with the way our trainwreck season is going some of the other starters may tank on purpose if Tebow is brought in

And @mortreport reports it's "a virtual certainty" that Tim Tebow will play in 2013 for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
