I love how few here ever just say, “I disagree with the analyst on their opinion of Tebow.”

It’s always, “He sucks!”, “That %&* doesn’t know *&^”, “Esiason is a %^*$* loser!!”, “Screw you!!”

It’s like a bunch of high school kids. You know, it isn’t illegal to have an intelligent and civil discussion about sports. Some of you act like Esiason just knocked up your sister.

Boomer sounds off as though Tebow is just a pup, someone needs to remind the old geezer that Tebow is quite capable of leading his pack if necessary.

Also as a Jets fan I realized a long time ago that this organization places the “entertainment” factor above all else, we go get Brett Favre, we have the loudest coach, trade for Tebow who IS the most famous player in the league…..this list goes on…..the more you talk about the Jets the more Woody Johnson smiles…….

As a Jets fan I respect Boomer for being a former Jet but I think he’s way off-base on this one. While Tebow isn’t the best QB ever, he IS a valuable asset for any team, to say he should be canned is just ignorant

Classy response.

I wonder… as between the three people involved in this conversation — QB’s Tebow and Sanchez, and broadcaster Esiason, which one is most likely to actually improve his skills and get better at his job?

I think maybe it’s worth keeping Tebow around for a year or two.

What always gets lost in this Tebow stuff is the truth – statistically he did have one of the worst seasons of any qb in NFL history last year. Shouldn’t that be part of the discussion?

As for the winner crap, look that up too. Denver was 8-8 last year (9-9 overall) and backed into the playoffs on a 4-game losing streak.

I see boomers point. it’s not the person, it’s the hype around the person, and it’s new york with a qb Sanchez that has yet to prove that he is truly a franchise qb. if you take away the hype i love having a guy like tebow on the team. it’s exciting and the fact that he can’t throw but can still be an a winning qb is amazing in it’s self. it’s kind of like what ghandi said about jesus. i like your player i just don’t like your player’s fans.

I don’t understand the tebow hate. The guy obviously isn’t the worst QB in the history of the nfl or he wouldn’t have lead his team to a playoff win. The man is a winner and that is a fact. Wouldn’t u rather have a winner on your team than somebody that puts of good stats but never wins? Quit hating on tebow because the world could use some more men like him.

I watched them tear a building down;
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a mighty heave and lusty yell,
They swung a beam and a side wall fell.

I said to the foremen, “Are these men as skilled
As the men you’d hire if you had to build?”
He gave a laugh and said, “No indeed!
Just a common laborer is all I need.
And I can wreck in a day of two
What it took the builder a year to do.”

And I thought to myself as I went my way,
“Just which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with skill and care
Building others up by the rule and square,
Or am I a wrecker as I walk the town
Content with the labor of tearing down?”

Some of you are so hypocritical. You criticize Esiason for making comments about Tebow, saying he wasn’t that good in the NFL (playoff and pro bowl QB btw), saying he is jealous and all kind of other nonsense. How many of you have played in the NFL or been GM or coach to give the opinions you have?

I guess Boomer was never a good college QB cause he never won the Heisman and Championship.

Go back to Cincinnati Norman

It must really suck to be a Steeler fan when a QB who: “played some of the worst football that any quarterback has ever played in the history of the game,” beats you in the playoffs.

Tebow is a great kid! He has took this (being traded to the Jests) all in stride I wish him the best cause his heart and soul is in the right place! You got to give him that!

I do want to see a rematch of the playoffs though!

we all know Tebow isn’t a great qb, but the reason he is a winner is because he motivates his teammates like none other.

He may end up being a great qb someday, but I have a feeling whatever team he is on, whether he starts or not, will be a successful team.

I have been a jets fan for 30 years. Tebow can’t be as bad as boomer was. Boomer has a high opinion of himself

Right, shut up! He must b good bc Flutie couldn’t play in this league, Moon….ect.
He has shown he can win football games, and will get another chance.
Is this another Merril Hoge. Who was a marginal player on every level and seems bitter and unhappy.
Commentary is one thing, hating not needed!
And I am a Patriots fan. Hope he does well somewhere else.

@blancodiablo–re Nease High School, you are correct that the rule was in place and that Nease didn’t make the rule….my point was that he WAS recruited by them as a home schooled student. (therefore his claims were not true)…and I totally agree that Urban Meyer did him no good, and may be the reason he is not a great QB.

Heres the thing I see. For all you that are dismissing the criticism because Esiason doesn’t have a SB ring I have to ask where’s yours? Esiason and Tebow have the same amount of SB rings last time I checked. Yes you can bring up Tebow’s accomplishments in college but as we have all seen, college football success doesn’t translate into NFL success. Perhaps instead of the standard internet muscle flexing that goes on here on PFT maybe someone can actual come up with an actual legit reason why Tebow shouldn’t be cut instead of just attacking Esiason. I won’t hold my breath though.

I am not a Jets fan or a Tebow fan, but I saw the Jets practice two Sunday’s ago. Didn’t see too much wrong with his arm. Accuracy was good, but not great. Strong arm and he has definitely worked on improving his technique. Did not witness that weird donkey leg kick with his throws. As I said, not a fan of Tebow, but the guy seems to continuously overcome adversity.

i am glad someone finally pointed out that Boomer was a MVP. That alone makes him a better than average player……and something that Tebow should try to do before his name can be even mentioned in the same sentence as Boomer

Tebow is a football player people…he is a WINNER. He is all class and not some scumbag getting arrested. He will be a winner in the NFL as he will do whatever it takes to win. He just happens to play in the media capital of the world and is a breathe of fresh air in a sport that is me me me. Maybe he can teach Cromartie about being their for his kids or Revis how to honor a contract…or teach Rex that you do not have to be a bigmouth to be heard…Amen

If the name on the back of his jersey was “Smith” or “Jones” or some other nondescript fellow, no one would disagree with Boomer. Tim is many things, but an NFL QB ain’t one of ‘em.
