Comments on: Tebow’s year with the Jets ends with a whimper http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/31/tebows-year-with-the-jets-ends-with-a-whimper/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Mon, 20 May 2013 15:36:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: namriverrat69 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/31/tebows-year-with-the-jets-ends-with-a-whimper/#comment-2221367 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 01:14:37 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1633063#comment-2221367 Trading for Tim Tebow was for publicity and putting more fans in the seats who are curious to see what he can do.

Everyone can get better if they work at it. Tiger has changed his swing numerous times and it took time to get the new swing down.

The money made off marketing Tebow more than made up his 1.9 million dollar salary. He was good for the practice taxi squad.

I hope the Jets do him a favor and trade him to Jacksonville or someone who will honestly give him a chance. Tebow is a winner. I believe he can make about any team better. Maybe not as a full time quarterback but as a fullback who can run and is a pass threat and as a receiver.

He may not ever be a starter but I’m sure he could be good enough to be a back-up.

He is not a supertstar but I think given the right fit he can help a team. If nothing else, he could help a lot of over payed, immature cry babies grow up and thereby bring chemistry to certain teams. I somehow still think there is a pleasant surprise awaiting him, and I hope he’s grateful that he got payed AND got his body spared one year of wear and tear!

Is your beef with Tebow or the abundance of Tebow reporting? To which I’d ask why do you blame the player when your beef should be with the media?

He was treated shamefully by the Jets.

Let him go, and let him compete for a job somewhere where (a) they want him, (b) they can tailor packages to his talents, and (c) they have some offensive horses to use in conjunction with him. The Jets had and have none of those things.

Mark sanchez was finally, and completely, exposed as a fraud as an NFL quarterback, and McElroy lit exactly no one on fire …..

I am far from a Tim Tebow fan, and believe he sucks even worse than Sanchez, but that said, nobody else gave the Jets a shot at winning a game, Tebow deserved to start at least ONE of those ten losses, just as an outside chance of doing something to not lose.

I have no idea why Woody or Tannenbaum focred Tebow down Ryan’s throat, and then watched as Ryan left him rotting on the bench.

Let the guy PROVE that he sucks as bad as you think he does, at least.

The first mistake was the Jets having 2 starting QB’s. Who does that? Nobody! I am a Cleveland Browns’s fanatic. Thank you for the condolences, but I’m tough! I have said this to ANYONE who would care to listen to me. Tebow never got the chance he deserved. He was never the leader. He has played poorly in his few snaps, but can you blame him? The constant uncertainty of Rex Ryan has me talking to myself. The fans need to grow up! Let this kid play a full season without all the criticism and maybe he might be able to concentrate on his job. I can see Tebow as a fullback. Size is in his favor. Maybe he’s not an NFL QB, but the way it looks, we may never find out.

It was a vanity purchase from the start. As others have said, what self-respecting GM and coach would want to be on a team where the owner dictates who’s on the field. Just look at Dallas.

Tebow will end up somewhere, but he’s not a starting QB yet. Might never be, but you have to train him to play in the NFL. You don’t change the whole game plan to fit his “talent”.

Quarterbacks must be able to COMPLETE PASSES in the NFL! You are too big of a distraction to your team to ever be worth the trouble of filling a roster spot. Look at what happened at the Jets training camp… and put your damn shirt on!

Tiny Tim Teblow doesn’t deserve to disgrace the NFL with his worthless presence, too many good players to settle for this piece of trash.

If Tiny Tim wants to start then he’d better head over to the Lingerie League where his throwing like a girl won’t be noticed. Heck maybe they can teach him a thing or two about playing with girls.

Go Away Tiny Tim Teblow!!!

Constructing a team specifically designed to attempt to cover up the extreme limitations of a QB you didn’t want in the first place hardly sounds like a dream job for someone who has options.

This will be obvious to any coaching staff that has him! I can’t imaging a coaching staff being stupid enough to bring him in, but the levels of stupidity never cease to amaze me.

It’s the only thing that explains him not playing. Certainly, he did nothing in games to warrant the complete lack of respect he’s been given by the coaching staff (he didn’t play enough to do anything bad).

Mike McCoy (Denver OC) is believed to be a head coaching candidate. I would be interested to see if Jacksonville has any interest in him as a head coach. Wonder how he’d feel about the possibility of working with Tebow again.

One thing is pretty clear, if Tebow in fact required excellent coaching to be productive on the field, then the Jets coaching staff is horrendous and they should all be replaced regardless of whether or not Tebow is there next year.

But 2 National Championships and a Playoff run and Victory as a starter 2 years removed from college. SCREAMS WINNER! Gotta take your hat off to him, no matter how ugly it looks to the eye. The guy wins.
