Way too much negative media these days; if he made a successful comeback I’d think that was pretty cool.

Though you have a point – getting down to 165 would certainly show teams he is serious. Now he just needs to lose 143 pounds quickly.

Offer up a veteran minimum contract with no guaranteed money. He could always chuck a ball a country mile, so who knows what him being humbled and coming back with a good attitude could lead to? And if he stinks worse than Sanchez then you cut him and have lost nothing.

Because he was a complete waste of time an money! The Jets should go for it!

I watched Jamarcus wear all the other teams out with long bombs every Friday night in the fall. It’s just a shame that he let his past surroundings get him in trouble. He came from a pretty rough area with not alot of positive role models around him. We are all prone to make mistakes. He surely made his. That said, I hope he can work his way back. He was truly a very talented player. It was like watching a pro play with peewee teams, really. I just wish him well. We could all be in a bad spot someday, wouldn’t you want a second chance?

If they were truly NOT interested wouldn’t they just NOT comment like the rest of the league?

I find it utterly amazing how all we ever hear is how the Jets can’t stop yapping and yet they haven’t said a word and we still hear hourly about this discussion or the sky is blue or there are chairs in their offices.
It’s friggin ridiculous there are 31 other teams in the league and 2 in the super bowl how bout we end the Jets talk for a few days???

“We got caught making stories up about the Jets again and now we have to backtrack by making it sound like it’s still plausible.”

I hope the Jets learned their lesson from Tebow.

When you don’t know him. His last year with Kiffin he was improving without any good players around him. Shows that with good coaching he can be effective.

They are the ones that keep this circus alive. Give it a break.

Afterall, if the Jets want a QB, you know they are going to be great.

Perfectly played by the Jets organization so far. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!

Tomorrow you’ll write the Jets are looking into Vinny Testeverde.

Well, it’s about time they reach out to good old Vinny!

After they get rid of Tebow the “group” will be different so there is still a chance.

All 308 pounds of him? Who releases a press release for losing 12lbs when they are at least 50lbs over weight?

^This.

I had never seen a QB waddle until I saw JaWalrus play.

Also, perhaps the Jets are considering him to play line, someone should ask them that! They need the help and he will work for ‘drank’…
