The Jets need some front office guidance from the worlds of accounting and finance rather than Ryan football.

Rule 1 from accounting for Sanchez and Tebow: An asset worth zero value to you is worth just that, regardless of the acquisition or holding costs. Asset on the books should be at 0.

Rule2 from finance for Sanchez and Tebow: When you make a bad investment your loss is usually the smallest if you act quickly. For every Kurt Warner story in the NFL there are 20 JaMarcus Russell stories.

It boggles my mind that people are defending Tebow on this. Mendenhall quits on his team and gets ripped to shreds here, but Tebow? He can do no wrong, apparently.

Let’s be clear here: he quit on the Jets, asked not to play. Indefensible in my book, I don’t care how much little Timmy’s feeling were hurt.

Let’s just say he did ask “out of wildcat” plays; so what? He isn’t getting a fair shot in NY, is most likely headed to another team, so why risk injury for a team going nowhere? Fact is the media has poked, prodded and fished for some sort of potential storyline that could paint Tebow in a negative light. Keep searching cause this isn’t it. He’s a respectful, hard working, positive player and an even better person…no matter how the media attempts to negatively portray him. He’s a better man than I am and I respect him for being the definition of a role model.

Tebow is bitter and who can blame him? Well he can blame himself for going to the Jets.
They are the definition of dysfunction and leaderless.
How is Rex Ryan still coaching? What was the last time you could say “That Rex Ryan, what a brilliant move he made when he _____”?

In all fairness, Tebow didnt ask for all of this crap… NY asked for him and then didnt use him at all.

Are you telling me that they couldnt find any way to get him involved?

The locker room Q@A with Tebow was great.

“My high school coach taught me to treat others the way you want to be treated.”

What else did he teach you? How to ride your bike?

First, a few words of free advice, Florio: go easy on the alliteration. Once in a while, fine. But you tend to take it to a whole. nother. level.

Second, I want Tebow to succeed. Not because I’m a Tebow fan but because he’s had to put up with a year of Rex Ryan. Jacksonville, Canada, whatever. I just wish him success.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

This is all Tebows fault, he had the choice between NY and Jacksonville and he chose NY. He knew that Sanchez was the starting QB and had been for years while the Jags had Gabbert who could easily be replaced. I’m pretty sure everyone on this site thought Jacksonville would have been a better opportunity for him, but he chose NY. He chose his bed, now he has to lay in it.
——————————————————————————-
I was going to open up w/ “your a moron.” But since it’s Christmas eve, I’m not going to do that. Everyone knew that Sanchez was out the door after this year if not mid year. Jacksonville traded multiple picks to get Gabbert 10th overall you jackass! Based on that Jax has a duty to play out Gabby. Little did they kno he’d be so damn bad.

Rex Ryan I think has tiptoed himself out of New York and a head coaching job in the NFL. I don’t think putting on dance slippers at this stage will save his job.

To the folks stating that TT should have chosen Jax over the Yets he didn’t have a choice. He was traded, remember. The trade to the Yets was 100% up to the Broncos. The Yets offered more than Jax.

I’d like to see him succeed. He’s a great role model, much better than some of the other dirty cheaters with bad attitudes in the NFL; and he has determination. Even if it does take him a few years, he’s not a quitter.

So the press asks all season “are you frustrated” and then bangs on him when he does something clearly borne out of frustration? Classy.

Probably not the smartest career move, but completely understandable since the Jets promised him one thing and then failed to deliver. Even after it was clear that Sanchez couldn’t engineer an HO train set, let alone a scoring drive.

Tebow in NY with Rex Ryan is just a bad match. It’s not working and it is not going to so just part ways and move on.

Jacksonville just might be an excellent fit for Tebow.

Amadeus, I can’t believe you see a racial angle in this story. Besides, the players you named have all received a fair amount of criticism in the media. Maybe you could argue that they deserve more, but to say they have escaped criticism is just wrong.

I didn’t hear the media banging on Jamarcus fat-ass Russell or Vince big-mouth Young or Cam overrated Newton and several other black QB’s. But a white man in a black-dominated sport is fair game because he’s an easy target and the media sissies are afraid of criticism.

All the worshipers of Tebow still believe and the media has hyped him up where he believes he is a NFL starting QB. The stats and the fact he could not beat out the third string Qb for the Jets is much more powerful sermon.

People don’t hate on Tebow because he’s a Christian, but because he can’t seem to be able to shut up about it. Like he thinks everyone’s gonna somehow forget he has religious beliefs if he doesn’t keep talking about them in every single press conference or every time there’s a camera pointed in his direction.

That’s why people hate on him. Oh, and the fact that he’s a lousy QB.

People continue to rant how Tebow carried Denver to a playoff win vs the steelers. I believed that the broncos won despite tebow. The rest of that team was fairly solid as proven by their stoutness this year. Tebow.is.not.a.qb.

I like the man BUT he was still being paid to play football and still cashed the checks I am sure. This in spite of the total dysfunction of the Jets organization—but the checks kept coming as per the contract. I have a problem with that portion of this story, unless he is willing to reimburse the Jets for their payments. Fat chance I know, but his responsibility to be there for them.

Only the Jets could make this happen!!!!!

… The only people that don’t appreciate this guy are people that look in the mirror and don’t like what they see. Just because Tim puts God before everything in his life, including football, he gets criticized/ridiculed for it. ….

———————————–

sorry, but that’s absurd…. the actual reason people criticize Tebow because his talent as a QB is radically overblown by people who appreciate his character… it’s not some anti christian conspiracy…

I agree, the guy appears to have admirable character…. he was a great high school player, and a great college player…..

but those 3 things don’t add up to a blind belief that he’s a franchise level NFL QB…

and you know what the proof is? if anybody in this league desperately needed a franchise guy to save the day, it is Rexxy… and he felt Tebow was so bad, he didn’t even try him out…. that speaks volumes.

Why did the Jets acquire Tim if they weren’t gonna use him? I don’t blame Tebow for wanting a trade after being benched or otherwise barely used. Sanchez is terrible and McElroy isn’t much better. Tim deserved a chance to start. He brings excitement to the game and the crowd. Ryan needs to go along with the GM.
