Wow, it's really crazy to think that Tebow really did have so many clutch performances, a playoff upset, but he will now just go back to be a role player. The entire sports universe asked Tebow to prove it, and he did a good job - but then the universe just said, ":jnc we don't care."

I will be shocked if he doesn't get a chance to start at some point for the Jets. He will work his way in there and overtake Sanchez eventually. it may only be temporary, but it will probably happen.

You are right. If they play him at fullback then I support the decision as he will be on the field enough to warrant the steep price.

2012: $1.942.5 million (fully guaranteed)
2013: $2.266.75 million (fully guaranteed)
2014: $2.590.5 million ($567,500 guaranteed)

Those are his salaries. The only way he even gets close to this magical 16 million number you're pulling out of your god damn ass if he's the starting QB and the Jets make the playoffs every year for the next 3 seasons.

And then he'd be worth it.

It was a LaConfora tweet. 6.1 in 2013, 7.1 in 2014.

Also, while his salary this year is only $2m, they are splitting the $5m owed the Broncos. So effectively his is costing the Jets $4.5 million this year.
 
Darkside quickly turning EBA/Dirtbag/Jdez heel. I was all excited for a future Schottenheimer less future and the Jets had to pull this fucking move. Worse than the Favre year.

Sanchez "extension" gives no new money in 2012; $2.75M bump in 2013. Now making $8.25M guaranteed next year, nothing guaranteed after.

This is the HUGE money everybody is talking about with Sanchez.

They haven't committed anything to Sanchez.
 
Full Shahid Khan statement text:

"Earlier this week I asked Gene Smith and his staff to explore the potential of acquiring Tim Tebow. I think we have a duty to consider all avenues of improving the Jaguars on and off the field, especially given the unique circumstances involving the player. I appreciate the high level of due diligence Gene and his staff dedicated to this matter even as late as this evening, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Our commitment to developing Blaine Gabbert was, and still is, central to our goal of returning the Jaguars to elite status in the NFL. We are looking ahead with zero regrets." #Jaguars

Dirtbag was in a class of his own. Well that's tainted too now in light of Bountygate I suppose.

I'm actually a bit bummed.

At least Tebow had heart on the field, unlike Pussy Gabbert. I wish we had Garrard back.:/

Give the kid some slack. He had plenty of reasons to suck it up. Short off season, young QB, lackluster receivers, lame duck coach, WR coach as his QB coach, ownership change etc. the odds were stacked against him. Now if he sucks this season then we can be worried. If he sucks 3rd season then they should start looking for another solution.

ESPN loves Tebow so much its pretty sickening that an average at best player can get this type of attention.
Click to expand...

Probably all the negativity towards Tebow comes from guys who did not see every Broncos game. Notice Denver fans like what he did. Basically, the people that know him the best like him, if you take Manning out of the picture. Complain when the season starts and you actually see what he does as the Jets starter.

So they have nearly 30 million dollars locked up in Sanchez and Tebow (8.25+4.5 in 2012, $11m + $6.1 m in 2013).

Yeah, chump change for that kind of stellar talent!

Obviously not the Jets organization. Which makes it even more dumbfounding that they'd bother to give him an extension.

This is the extension everyone is griping about. It was a load of garbage to try to make it look like the Jets are "committed" to Sanchez.

It was nothing more than an apology for going after Peyton...only to turnaround and trade for Tebow. Money or no money - it's fucking nonsensical. It reeks of an organization that doesn't have an clear direction in mind. You're about to pay (correction) 2.5 million dollars and draft picks for what you yourself call a situational goal line back and/or third string QB /at best/.

Indeed. Just some minor corrections to reflect the actual world in which we live and not your fantasy plane of existence.

Not to mention two draft picks from a team that can't rush the QB, sucks at run blocking and needs help pass blocking. Oh yeah, and have a stoned, grossly overpaid WR that wants more passes. Other than that, it's an awesome move.

We're totally going to look so foolish once the season starts. That is totally what is going to happen.

You fouled up my qoute if you read it carefully it makes no sense. All good.

Best of luck Tebow the selfless, and great GIFS Godslay!
 
This is going to be the trade that makes or more probably breaks the Rex Ryan era. How are they going to control the media firestorm that's about to erupt? It's going to be ridiculous. Maybe Timmah will teach Cro abstinence and this is all part of God's plan.

how can this not cause a schism? how will this not destroy the locker room? it's not like sanchez can leave, dude just got paid!

no matter how talented the jets are on paper, i'm fairly confident this will go terribly wrong and they'll miss the playoffs next season.

and between Kerley, McKnight, Tebow, and LT.. Sparano is gonna go cat crazy!!!
Click to expand...

He didn't get paid anything.

And Schotty being replaced by Sparano is good for like 2 more wins.
