@rodaday:

Did you happen to watch how the Broncos backed their way into the playoffs by losing the last three regular season games? Did you happen to watch Tebow’s playoff performance against the Pats which was very similar to how he performed in those last three regular season games? Nobody is saying he is not a great guy. He is the most inaccurate passer this league has ever seen as well as the most inconsistent performer ever to be considered as a starting QB. The reason he asked to be traded to New York over J’Ville baffles me and I am certain Elway and Fox had to take time for laughing bout prior to the call to Woody when it happened. The circus started at that point and ask anybody in Denver; despite his magnificent competitive play at times, his side show serves as a huge distraction to a football team!

@ eightysixisback says:

Did YOU actually see the Denver games? Matt Prater was the kicker for the first 5 games. The Defense was also there with Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil and everyone else. Result: 1-4.

Why didn’t Prater and that amazing Defense win more of those first 5 games.

Did Tebow do everything alone for the team to go 7-4 the rest of the way and beat Pitt in the playoff game? No of course not. But he did in fact LEAD them there. That’s what the QB does. Like it or not QB is the leader of the team. He often gets the credit when they win and the blame when they lose. Even if there are other factors.

Is he a great traditional QB? No, but who says he can’t continue to improve and become one. Steve Young did it. When he first came out everyone said exactly the same things they were saying about Tebow now. But Young got better and better and became a great QB.

Tebow is in his 3rd year and has only started for a portion of a year last year and did well. The Broncos were absolutely classless in trading him.

This just in: The Easter Bunny recently reported that two people “who know PFT, and know how they run their football website believe lots of articles will be posted today, with no real facts, but the articles are guaranteed to generate a lot of hits to the web site.

@thatyankeedude:
Its not Tebow as a person that i don’t like. It is people such as yourself who keep telling us that Tebow has god on his side and is therefore a good QB that i am tired of. QBs have to be able to throw the ball in the nfl. Tebow did NOT win games for the broncos last year. You didn’t actually watch the games did you? The broncos defense and their kicker won those games. I did watch most of those games last year. What i saw was a defense that generally kept the broncos opponents under 18 points which was a good thing because in most of their wins the offense was able to score 18 or less. For the most part tebow was able to throw a few passes at the end of games that were close enough to his recievers to allow them to make great catches and get them into field goal range. I am sorry but Tebow did not single-handedly win games for denver last year. People who keep saying that are delusional. He does seem like a good person but the fact that he shares your religious beliefs does not make him an NFL QB. I doubt very much that he will suceed as a starter for the jets because i their defense is not going to be as good as denver’s was last year. I am not saying this because i hate tebow, i am saying it because i have actually watched him play QB.

Woody should just take a moment to reflect on the state of the Dallas Cowboys and ask himself how that team has been impacted by an owner who is not a football man, making personnel decisions for the team.

Woody may own the team and can have any opinions that he wants but in the final analysis, he needs to let his GM and coach do their respective jobs and simply hold them accountable for the results.

personally I find Tebow’s act nauseating stupid. But I’m intrigued by him as a football player, not that I think he’s any good, I just like to see different styles of play. I think there are all sorts of option style QBs in the league the Jets would have been better off trying to run the kind of offence Tebow can run (Kapernick and Joe Webb come to mind), but running a different offence with Tebow is probably no worse than running a traditional offence with Sanchez.

The thing is, you know a traditional offence run by Sanchez is awful. You only suspect it will be as bad or worse running a different style offence with Tebow…but at least you don’t know. So give it a shot.

hifive123 –

If you insist that Timmy “led” the Broncos, go back and check the stats. What he “led” them to was a season-ending three-game losing streak, a non-winning record and a blowout loss in the last game.

@nyjetsfan08;
So, the o-line can’t pass block, the recievers can’t seperate, and there is no running game, eh?
Hmmmm, sounds like an option attack is optimal….
To everyone else;
Why so much hype? I think that we are over thinking this whole situation.
It’s not about tebow starting, it’s about having an in-game OPTION (no pun intended) the jets were getting mauled, and thoer offense was doing nothing; so, you change, not hust q.b.’s, but the entire offense mid game.
sire, ot might not have worked, bit it might have.
Plus, once you’ve shown the willingness to change, opponets MUST gameplan for two offences.
It’s called “change of pace”.
The same goes for my beloved RAATYYDAZ; where was pryor in the second half?

I am not a big Tebow fan but why is it some of you want to give Sanchez credit for getting his team to the championship game twice and talk about his winning record and then turn around and dis Tebow? Last I checked the Jets had a really good D that helped bail out Sanchez. Tebow has a winning record as a starter and helped his team get to the playoffs. You can’t dis one and not the other. Sanchez has had his chance in the league and failed. Tebow should at least get a fair shot to start and for enough games IN A ROW that matter.

Any questions about Tebow and his abilities? Please see Vick and his stats. All the talking heads loved Vick for years and he absolutely sucked as a passer every year. Low 50′s comp % every year on the Falcons. Go and check.

Let me clue all the naysayers in about Tebow too. It is a business. $8 beers and $30 parking. Tebow sells and he gets ratings. Get over it everyone. Tebow is good for football. He makes it interesting to watch. Every incompletion at a time.

WRs – Rookies and scrubs
RB – Averaging 2.8 yds/carry

Other than Dustin Keller, Sanchez has a very bad supporting cast on this offense for the rest of the year. The offense is also a conservative offense built around the run game, which is horrible. Put him in a passer friendly offense and he’ll be fine.

It would do his career wonders to get away from the Jets.

How many years are the Jets going to give Sanchise to “develop”.
=====================================

Well, let’s ask Dallas how long they should give him. They’ve been waiting on Romo for about 50 years now.

I do not think that word means what you think it means. The correct word is “irrelevance”.

If Woody’s smart he’ll push for McElroy as the starter, Sanchez as the back up and get rid of Tebow, I could hardly understand extending Sanchez, but to add insult to injury, they sign Tebow, go figure.

Tim Tebow led a team that was dead in the water to the playoffs, even winning a playoff game. He finds a way to win. Deal with it.

Sweet. Now all they need is some healthy receivers, tight ends, efficient line blocking, and a break away style running back.

Does anyone else think this is ridiculous?

Let me explain something to you, coltsfan. I’m not sure where you are located, but New York is cutthroat and losing is not something easily tolerated without a tremendous backlash. The Mets and the Jets are great examples of this. Even the Giants. Eli Manning and the Giants have won 2 SBs in the last 4 years and they still get whacked for losing games.

Having said that, I do agree with you that it’s ridiculous. Sanchez has regressed this season, no doubt. But he also doesn’t have an offensive line that is giving him a chance to throw the ball or open a hole for his RBs. Speaking of, the Jets don’t have any RBs. And the receivers can’t get any separation or catch the damn ball. Sanchez can’t do it on his own.

Folks your misplaced hatred towards tebow makes me scoff. This is a man that took a miserable team to the playoffs and beat the steelers in his first ever playoff appearance. Tebow has only made progress and has the spirit of God to pursue anything he wants. Good luck trying to stop the inevitable.

hey nflsecurity862 how many playoff games have the Browns won since 2009? I mean sanchez is only 4 and 2 in the playoffs which is a better playoff record than Romo (1-3) Rivers (3-4) Matt Ryan (0-3) Cassel (0-1) Cutler (1-1). And trust me the defense did not win those game for Sanchez in the playoffs. Last time i checked sanchez was the one who was pulling the wait for the team in each game. Its very hard for a qb to excel when your sorrounded by mediocre talent and dont have your favorite target playing. Trust me if Brady didnt have welker gronk and Hernandez playing and on top of that his o line sucking brady wouldnt be doing soo good right now either. I notice a majority of people that comment on this really have no clue about football. Like the great bill parcells says “you are what your record is” with that said Sanchez is 33-24 as a starting qb the cleveland browns wish they had a qb that won 33 games for them in 3 and quarters worth of seasons. Think before you comment Sh*t Head

Woody Johnson doesn’t know dick about football.
He is all about the money and NOT the trophy.

He brought Tebow in because he wanted more fannies in the seats, well guess what, it ain’t working…Woody you need to get rid of Tannenbaum first.

The media and the rest of the NFL and all the fans are rejoicing when the Jets suck, all because of Ryan and his loud mouth, and the Jets players too. The Cleveland Browns lose, season after season, but no one’s cheering when they do, Ryan has turned the Jets into the most hated team in the NFL

This is EXACTLY what we have all been waiting for; small pebbles have been rolling down the mountain, collecting debris, and building up momentum. The days are getting shorter, nights getting colder, and we are about ready to enjoy us a good old fashioned circus! So glad we now have PFM at the helm in Denver.

Did you actually watch the games??

Woody Johnson is Jerry Jones minus knowledge of the game and who’s playing for this team. Scratch that last one; he knows Sanchez and Tebow. That’s it. Everyone else might as well be John Doe when he signs their checks.

I would MUCH RATHER have Jerry Jones as my owner and GM than this tool. Woody doesn’t care about this team. He doesn’t CARE about this team. He doesn’t care about the fans. He doesn’t care about football. If he wants to own a business that simply makes money, sell the Jets to an owner who actually wants to bring home a Lombardi trophy and buy a movie theatre chain or a real estate property or anything else that does not involve sports and fans.

Woody has had a woody for Tebow for some time and could not care less about the real needs for this team. Get rid of Mr. T and get rid of yourself and let’s get an owner who actually cares about his team and a GM who can build a team with winners.

Now just hold on everybody. Does Woody want Tebow to start at QB? Or run for President of the United States?
