The Jets have dominated the news in recent days, and not for good reasons.

It will continue, and not for good reasons.

Eventually, it will result in the news that Tim Tebow is the quarterback.

Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com recently reported that two people “who know Johnson, and know how he runs his football operation believe he will push his football people to start Tebow.”

Without knowing who the two people are, it’s impossible to assess the credibility or potential accuracy of the report. But it won’t be a surprise if that’s what Johnson does.

Indeed, we’ve been saying all week that Johnson eventually will. Though I don’t personally know Johnson and have no idea how he runs his football operation (some fans would say Johnson doesn’t, either), common sense suggests that he’ll eventually give the order to use the guy who led the Broncos to the playoffs in 2011.

With the season quickly circling the drain, the Jets need a kick in the ass. Tebow possibly can provide that.

Either way, it can’t get much worse.

Well, maybe it can. But there’s only one way to find out.
