This shouldn’t matter but I’m a Saints fan. The reason I say this is because it’s important to know that I have no vested intrest in the Jets. In fact; I think they’re a bunch of hot air. But, for the life of me I can’t understand the Jets players ragging on Tim the way they do. Tim as done nothing at all except win. He been true to his convictions rather you like them or not. He’s a fine person and it’s just my opinion, of hell of a football player. I also feel like only a coward would address issues with a player through the media. And, they’re not a jet on that team that’s in a position to talk about anyone’s talent level or effort. I hope they trade the man. He desrrves better

Gotta feel for tebow here. The guy just shows up and does what he’s asked.

I dont think he’s a good QB, but I bet he’d find a way to win more games than Sanchez.

What a bunch of haters and cowards. That team is terrible because of leadership. The dude turned around a frigen team last year and won a playoff game. It ain’t pretty but it’s better that Sanchez. At least Tebow knows how to lead and that’s more important than being a coward that grumbles behind people’s back. I love the coverage that he gets because it reminds me that people are inherently jacked ( including myself) and not worth paying attention to.

Lots of poison in the Jets locker room. Might be a good time to install a mirror in each locker.

As a die-hard Bronco fan. We went thu the “circus” too. But in the long run we did pretty good but he has to play. Beating the Steelers was pretty cool but we suffered a No. 1 pick. That was all MissDaniels fault not Tebows. His practices are terrible but you have to think he is better than Sanchez.

All this turmoil might be enough to push Tebow in the arms of a man…oh wait…

He’s a good human being with good leadership qualities on a team of terrible human beings with terrible leadership qualities. He’s a keeper, just figure out how to use his play-making talent and his leadership talent.

He’s a backup QB who’s no worse throwing than the starting QB. But, he can do more on the ground. But, especially hearing all this, he’s a better leader than Sanchez.

Do the guy a favor. Make him a tight end. He obviously has athletic ability, he’s just not a good QB.

The Jets have been terrible on the field this year and they’ve got a huge collection of terrible human beings who just want to point the finger at others. It’s the fault of the guy playing, at best, five plays a game (three of which are usually decoys)? The unnamed source should look in the mirror, because unless he’s on IR, odds are he’s far more responsible for where the Jets are than Tebow.

Tebow’s not the problem. Rex Ryan is….I can’t believe he’s still an NFL coach. His press conferences are a joke. He’s classless and NOT NFL material. Get rid of the “foot soldier”, I say!!

By: psousa1

psousa1 — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:35:42 +0000

If indeed this was said (I still believe a lot of writers ‘unnamed sources’ or ‘unnamed players’ is themself. Nobody is going to challenge them on it and it is a way of making them relevant)

but it says more about the player doing the talking. Then again what does it say about an organization that employs guys with the character of a Cromartie or Holmes. These aren’t the type of players who will stand up and be counted whent the chips are down.

Ryan comes off as a buffoon because of all his talk but the guy is a pretty good coach. He and Tannenbaum both should get canned but if I am the owner I make sure I call Tannenbaum in the office first if only because he was the one who fell in love with the screw ups

Tiny Tim Teblow is the most Terrible excuse for an NFL quarterback that has ever disgraced this league. Tiny Tim should never have gone to the NY market, he just isn’t intelligent or sophisticated enough to handle the New York scene. Then again he’ll never make it in the NFL no matter where he plays.

Ship Tiny Tim Teblow off to the Lingerie League where his throwing and crying like a little girl won’t be noticed. Tiny Tim better wise up that NFL stands for “Not For Long”!

One of the things his Broncos teammates did NOT do during Timmy’s tenure here was to throw him under the bus – for anything. We all agree he didn’t play that well then, but just enough to win them games – and I don’t want to detract from their defense, they factored into all this big time.

It’s just amazing how the mindset has changed with his current teammates, if it ever has since he showed up. I think it’s classless of the Jets to run this on him – “unnamed sources” aren’t going to fly on this one. But then again, this is the Jets, and they asked for this. Now they can deal with it.

Lots of blame to go around on this one and some of it really has to go to Tebow. He willingly went into a combustible situation when he agreed to go to the NYJ circus, which includes a loudmouth team that airs its dirty laundry in public. He absolutely knew about the problems between Holmes and Sanchez and Sanchez’ situation. He easily could have asked Elway to deal him to Jacksonville. But he wanted NYJ. Guess what Tim? You are sad. But nobody in his right mind should feel sorry for you.

I’d start Tebow on Sunday………………….

at Linebacker.

When does the focus shift to the head coach?

Everyone notice when they show Tebow on the sidelines or coming into the game…he looks like he won a contest for a fan to get to play one down for his favorite team. Yes he may be a heck of an athlete and have a body my wife fantasizes about but QB in the NFL no way.

Its time the Tebow bashing stops,if he is as bad as his team mates say why is he even in the NFL,someone higher up believes in him obviously or they would cut him,he isnt the one losing games for the Jets so why bring him up.the Jets are a terrible team with an overrated coach,time for the players to realize that it aint Tebow thats causing the losses.

The only day I have ever been a fan of Tim Tebow was on January 8, 2012. That being said, I think it is shameful that his teammates are speaking publicly like this. It’s certainly not going to help them win any games and seriously, why not give Tebow a shot?! Sanchez looks horrible!

A great recruitment poster for the Jets. Who would ever want to play there? Seriously!

Unless that defensive player has a last name of “Revis,” none of those losers have the right to call anybody else “terrible.”

there is nothing funnier than the people who talk about how they dislike Tebow for his religious beliefs. the concept of being offended by someone else’s beliefs (especially things like the 10 commandments) is ridiculous. you’re letting yourself be affected by what someone else thinks…sheesh.

as for Tebow & his play, it’s pretty obvious that he isn’t a great QB, but he is a good football player, and to my knowledge he’s been an excellent teammate.

jets fans respond to their season with sadness

By: 1historian

1historian — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:42:32 +0000

This has been going on since his appearance in a Super Bowl ad right after his senior season in which he thanked his mother for her having not aborted (killed) him when she was ill in the early stages of her pregnancy carrying him.

He has not been reticent about his Christian beliefs, neither has he preached them, rather he has just practiced them.

There is just something about the man that gives those sad souls (out there safe in the anonymity of cyberspace) the willies, and they just unload on him.

That of course is their problem, but I wonder how they would treat him if he had come out and, for example, said he was gay.

This whole thing is beyond pitiful and we can thank the media for it.

It’s apparent that nobody in the league is going to give him any realistic chance to be the starting QB.
The experiment is OVER, turn him into a RB or TE and move on.

By: jnova80

jnova80 — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:03:11 +0000

Never understood the hype and personally I think he’s EXTREMELY overrated. With that being said, it’s pretty messed up for his own teammate to call him out like that. I don’t even think JaMarcus Russell’s old teammates did that to him and they had every right to.

Aside from the fact that Tebow is rated terrible by everyone that sees him throw the ball, if a player is asked to choose between his starter and the back up, he’s not a terrible team mate to chose the starter.

Once Tebow was brought in, the players were in an untendable situation in regards to being good team mates. The press would hound them, and they really do not have a good answer.
“Tebow is terrible” is a pretty poor answer, but there are no good ones.

Say what you want about Tebow and I would agree he is in no way an NFL quarterback. But to constantly bash a guy who has thrown maybe one pass all year, and says and does all the right things is ridiculous. The Jets are a terrible team and its not because thw backup QB isnt any good. That roster was flawed from the start and then to add to the insanity you have a bunch of lousy personalities in that locker room. Its a recipe for failure.

Sanchez has been brutal and somehow the team continues to support him. The run game is non existant and some of these wide receivers wouldnt make the practice squad on some other teams. They need to clean house. The backup QB is the least of their worries and for the locker room to bash him is pathetic
