Anyone who thinks the Jests season will go much as it did last Sunday have not been paying attention for very long. Tebow will be starting by mid-October, be benched by mid-November and back in the lineup by December just in time for Rexy’s swan-song crushing defeat.

If tebow wants to be the best, he has to hire the best. Steve young would be a perfect candidate to train tebow to become a great qb. They both are left-handed so that’ll be a hugh plus, young also ran the ball but he also knew how to throw. He should also consider the AFL, to get used to using the improved abilities to be a better QB. I still don’t see any excuses to why tebow hasn’t showed significant improvement in his third year, yeah there was the lock out but even rookies like cam, dalton and locker outplayed him.

My guesses on the “unnamed source”:

1) his agent
2) Urban Meyer

if this is actually true…. Tebow’s IQ is down around his QB rating…. he has nearly zero chance of getting a better gig than he currently has…

he should run the clock out on what he’s got…. and try to get better at being an actual throwing QB in the meantime…

‘Unnamed’ sources are unreliable sources.

No one would give Warren Moon, or John the Baptist a fair shake either… until they broke the door down.

Tebow is not an NFL QB. He’s just not. He need to tell his coaches that he will be a TE or RB or a hybrid player but not a good option at QB. Then he will play.

I apologize on behalf of Tebow. He should just accept being a backup like Kyle Orton and just collect a paycheck. He’s getting paid to play football, and he wants to play. This makes perfect sense, but somehow people are going to kill him for this. I can understand telling someone wasn’t his best move, but I kind of doubt he did it. It’s one week. He still has time to beat Sanchez. If anyone knows that it’s Tebow.

Anyone CAN ask for a trade technically, but this “good guy” image needs to stop. The reason is that if you’re going to talk about how great he is as a person he would shut up and accept his place.

Character should not be determined by how nice you sound in conversations, how religious you are, or the decision to not curse. It should be determined by how much you can tolerate because if you don’t get the starting job when you do not deserve and, additionally, can’t stand it that is a sign of insecurity. When that happens it could hurt a lot of relationships that you are a part of.

While I respect Tim Tebow for his many attributes as a player and a human being the one thing that does not earn much respect is his inability to throw a football at the level required in the NFL. Not since the days of Joe Kapp have fans witnessed such a rag arm behind center.

this guy is never going to start again unless pushed into action because of an injury / illness to the current starter. Hes s gimmick, nothing more.

What a joke Teblow was Sunday for the Jets. He showed us his “Lamecat” offense gaining 11 yards on 5 rushes, a whopping 2.2 yard per carry average. Just goes to show how grossly overrated and overhyped Teblow is.

If Teblow wants to be a starter then he needs to go to the Lingerie League, that way his throwing like a girl won’t be so noticeable.

The Tebow circus and cultists will be the roaming nomads of the NFL going from team to team and eventually Tebow will wash out and move on to the next team.

Even I don’t believe for a second that Tebow has that in his contract. That would mean that the Jets braintrust ( thats an oxymoron) planned to make Tebow the starting QB all along.This is Sanchez’s make/break season.

I really can’t think of any teams that would be interested in Tebow as a starting QB next year as has been suggested the Browns which under the new ownership will have a new HC in place next season looking for a franchise QB with a top 5 draft pick.Maybe Jax if the Jaquars have another lousy season and Gabbert doesn’t progress to sell tickets.

I hate how everyone in the media says Sanchez is going to be benched in October like it’s a sure thing. Ok, what if the Jets are undefeated all the way through October? Just saying….

The dolphins are awful, Tebow is terrible. If he asks for a trade then send him there.

Any player “could” ask for a trade at any time. Why is this news?

Shocking, does he know what this will do to his image? Timmy is suppose to be a perfect role model and teammate. This sounds selfish to me. Why not beat out the starter in practice or work on being an accurate passer? It is hard to play quarterback when you cannot throw the ball accurately.

I’ve been saying all along that Tebow’s place in the NFL is as the next Crash Jensen. Crash Jensen on steroids (not literally), that is. He could be the ultimate offensive (and special teams) “joker”. The guy could get 8+TDs a year in this roll.

Everything said here was spot on, about tebow, about sanchez… and im surprised that no one mentioned how the crowd was booing tebow on sunday, he would come in and predictably run slowly up the middle for two yards and waste a down every time.. this is very different from the expected boos for sanchez and cheers for tebow so many analysts speculated about in preseason

I was in NYC when the trade went down, I was going to mail Khan a picture of me flipping him the bird if the Jags would have gotten him. It would have saved me a lot of money though, my club seats in Everbank aren’t cheap.

If he cameto jax he’d be a tight end. 2 QBs there are better than Tebow.

“WELL, THAT DIDN’T TAKE LONG … Even as the Jets try to put to rest the circus talk, and even after an impressive win in the opener, IT NEVER STOPS.” Please allow me to understand. “What” didn’t take long, and “what” doesn’t stop? The “clown” media trying forcibly to turn the Jets into the “clown” team? The Jets make a joke out of all your predictions, with nearly every “expert” not only having predicted a Buffalo win in game 1, but also a Buffalo takeover of the No. 2 spot in the AFC East. After Sunday, the new media line: “Well, the Jets beat the awful Bills. Big thing!” Oh, but what about the “clown” title? Well, according to longtime Jets hater Greg Myers, “someone” in the NFL said that Tebow “might” ask to be traded “after this year” if he can’t start, but even “Mr. Someone” admitted he will probably do it quietly and not make a fuss. Well if THAT doesn’t prove that the Jets “circus” never stops, then I don’t know what will!

“The one thing about Tebow is he is the quintessential team player. He would never do anything that is going to undermine the team.”

are you kidding me? Teblow is anything but a team player, the guy is all about himself…all he’s done since he got to new york is undermine Sanchez

Can we all just calm down a little? After all, we are 1 game into the season and there’s still a lot of football left to play.

At this point, anything can happen….

If he wants to start, he’ll have to go to Canada or wait for a starter, and in most teams the backup, to be injured.

So this is nothing more than speculation about Tebow on Gary Myers’ part, right? So he’s going to pontificate as if he has some sort of “inside” information on what Tebow plans to do? Personally, if he leaves, fine, if he wants out, that fine too. But don’t present yourself as if you know that Tebow is going to ask for a trade after just one game of the season has been played. Give me a break already.

Thois stuff gets really stupid after a while. Some source speculates about Tebow and people get down on Tebow. Makes no sense. When Tebow actually says something, then he is fair game.

Unnamed sources are a joke!! Myers is a hack trying to stir something up as usual instead of dealing in real journalism.
