Whether you like him, hate him, agree him, or disagree with him he was rightfully ripping the Jets apart.

The pick up makes no sense in terms of football. Its a pure PR move to make the headlines in NYC and will do more damage to Sanchez's already damaged confidence. Good luck to him. At this point I almost feed bad for him. First Rex and his crew of goons that he has to deal with, Kate Upton's consistent insistence on aging, and now Tebow nation praying nightly for his downfall.

I guarantee they will have a Tebow package in place. Besides that it's not a reach to think that Tebow could be used like Brad Smith, to some success. As a backup he is better than anybody else they have at this point. It's a smart football move, especially with his low cost.

I haven't been counting, but I think Tannenbaum has said that Sanchez will be the starting quarterback about 97 times already.

teams that shouldn't have primetime games this season:

jags
rams
colts
browns
dolphins

every team will have at least 1 primetime game this year.

Thank you for the quotes. Proves that it was a smart football move in theory. Only time will tell how it plays out on the field.

 

[Fatalah]

The Jets can claim they brought in Tebow for the wildcat and because he's a "hybrid offensive weapon" or whatever the fuck but I know the real truth.

It has nothing to do with football. It has nothing to do with tickets and sales.

Rex, Sanchez, Cromartie. They want to corrupt him.

They want to turn him.

They're talking right now about which one is going to break Tebow first.

Will Rex have him caught playing footsie with a hooker?
Will Sanchez have him caught playing footsie with a high school girl?
Will Cromartie have him knocking up the entire female population of New Jersey and every city he travels to?

You guys are talking about how long till Tebow takes the field. What you should be looking forward to is how long before Tebow takes the fall. The fall from grace. His soul will not make it out of the Jets untarnished. He will be tainted. His purity, gone.

And it will be glorious.

I'm okay with this. I want nobody to see how bad the Dolphins are going to be.

Yep--Thursday night games are now every week so every team is guaranteed at least 1 primetime game.

Indeed.

Don't think Rex is going to be like Lovie though and say "Mark is our starting quarterback" after every single game though. Sanchez's leash is short and it should be.

Luck vs Tebow!

 

[bionic77]

It would be so awesome if Tebow wins the job and steals the division from the Pats while Peyton and the Broncos fail to make the playoffs and KC wins the division.

Still wish Tebow came to Pittsburgh.

[darkside31337]

Adam Schefter
Jaguars offered Broncos a 4th-rd pick and were willing to pay Denver most, if not all of, $5 million in question on Tim Tebow's contract.

So Tebow really chose the Jets over the Jaguars.

Not surprised, I mean who would pick Jacksonville over New York? Psh not even Tebow would do that.

I can confirm the Jets offered the better draft picks. The Jags package was less attractive. The Broncos chose the Jets.

It's probably Schefter.

 

[DarkFlow]

Meting out unprecedented punishment for a crush-for-cash bounty system that targeted key opposing players, the NFL suspended New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton without pay for next season and indefinitely banned the team's former defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams.

Sending a message by taking a harsh stand, Goodell also banned Saints general manager Mickey Loomis for the first eight regular-season games next season -- believed to be the first time a GM was suspended by the NFL -- and assistant coach Joe Vitt for the first six games.

In addition, Goodell fined the Saints $500,000 and took away their second-round draft pick this year and in 2013.

Actually not only is Schefter right like 99% of the time, he breaks the big news first!

I'd like to know how he does it.

On second thought, I really, really don't want to know.

I don't know who to believe. Schefter obviously has better connections than Vic, but it's hard for me to believe that Tebow had a say.
