Tebow to the Jets

Please God no. Gabbert is awful sauce. Anyone, including Tebow, is much better than he is.

The Texans have traditionally been awful against tricky and mobile QBs. Remember when we played Cam Newton last season? And VY?

Exactly. Plus the dude is a leader, that is the LAST thing we should want the Jags to acquire. With their defense they don't need much help plus they have one of the best RBs in the NFL.

So true.

Jags - Gabbert
Titans - Locker

If only there were some way we could get Sanchez to play for the Colts....
 
Tebow's brother says QB back at 'square 1' on deal

NEW YORK (AP) - Robby Tebow was all set to root for his brother, the newest member of the New York Jets. Now, he's not so sure where Tim Tebow will end up.

And, he's not alone.

Playing at a pro-am golf tournament at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla., Robby Tebow said Wednesday that he and the Denver Broncos quarterback thought a trade to the Jets was a done deal.

"Like he was signed, sealed and delivered,'' he said. "Apparently, they didn't read the fine print.''

The Jets announced early Wednesday that they had agreed in principle to acquire Tebow for draft pick as a complement to starter Mark Sanchez. Denver general manager Brian Xanders said the Broncos would receive fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, while New York would get a seventh-rounder - all in 2012.

But then Robby Tebow's phone started buzzing. Tebow Time on Broadway? Well, not quite yet.

"They're working on it,'' Robby Tebow said. "I think the Jags are back in play. We're almost back to square one.''

Jaguars spokesman Dan Edwards declined comment.

"We want to go where somebody wants him - that's where he wants to be,'' Robby Tebow said. "We'll figure it out. They're working on the contract; all those guys doing what they're paid to do.''

ESPN first reported that provisions in the quarterback's contract are causing complications in the completion of the trade.

The hang-up came hours after the Jets declared they were bringing the polarizing quarterback to New York. It's just another bizarre moment for the Jets, a team that has had its share of them over the years, conjuring memories of Bill Belichick's hiring as coach and his resignation one day later.

Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, who led the Jets to their only Super Bowl title in 1969, was among those unhappy with the possible deal.

"I'm just sorry that I can't agree with this situation. I think it's just a publicity stunt. I can't go with it. I think it's wrong,'' Namath told 1050 ESPN Radio. "I don't think they know what they're doing over there.''

The Jets will have lots of explaining to do - no matter whether the deal goes through or falls apart.

As part of Tebow's $11.25 million, five-year contract he signed as a rookie in 2010, he had a $6.277 million advance due 29 days after the start of the 2011 league year. That money was paid to him in August after the NFL lockout ended. The trade hit the hang-up when the Jets apparently balked at repaying the Broncos more than $5 million for the 2012-14 seasons from that advance.

If the sides work things out, "Tebowmania'' likely would take over New York, just a few weeks after "Linsanity'' swept the New York area and the rest of the NBA with the Knicks' sensational Jeremy Lin.

Tebow, who became expendable when the Broncos signed Peyton Manning to a five-year deal Tuesday, would be expected to complement Sanchez, who received a $40.5 million contract extension, with $20.5 million guaranteed, earlier this month. Rex Ryan's Jets also had pursued Manning before bowing out on the sweepstakes when there was little interest by the four-time NFL MVP.

Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs last season - along the way beating Sanchez and the Jets, who missed the postseason. But Denver executive John Elway believed Manning gave the team a better chance at winning a championship now.

For the Jets, Tebow would add a versatile dimension to the offense, including running the team's wildcat package - something new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano enjoys using. He would also provide a solid presence in a locker room that was rife with infighting last season - particularly between Sanchez and wide receiver Santonio Holmes.

No matter where he goes, Tebow will bring with him a flock of fervent fans for reasons that have to do as much with his faith as his football skills. A devout Christian, he's been a role model since his days at Florida, when he led the Gators to two national titles and captured the Heisman Trophy.

The Jaguars and general manager Gene Smith showed little interest in Tebow coming out of college in 2010, even though he grew up in Jacksonville and starred at nearby Florida. They passed on Tebow with the No. 10 pick, instead selecting defensive tackle Tyson Alualu. Tebow went to Denver at No. 25.

Last season, Jacksonville traded up to draft Blaine Gabbert and called him a "franchise quarterback.'' Gabbert struggled mightily, and the team blamed his problems on receivers and coaching.

Coach Jack Del Rio was fired in November, the same day the team was sold to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan. Before the Super Bowl, Khan said in a radio interview that he would have drafted Tebow and indicated he would consider bringing in Tebow if he became available.

"I share your sentiment,'' Khan said to a caller who said he hoped the Jaguars would consider Tebow. "When is the next time Jacksonville is gonna have an athlete like Tim Tebow?''

So it's pretty clear that any interest the Jaguars have in Tebow is coming from the owner and not the front office. Although the Jaguars haven't blacked out a home game since 2009, they have had trouble filling the stadium while missing the playoffs 10 of the last 12 years.

Tebow certainly would help, even if he's brought in to boost ticket sales and make the franchise relevant nationally for the first time since beating Pittsburgh in the playoffs in 2008.

But Jacksonville has no pressing need for another quarterback. The Jaguars signed Chad Henne to be the team's backup last week and have Dan LeFevour on the roster.

The Jets, too, have a few quarterbacks on the roster.

The Jets signed Stanton last week to be their No. 2 quarterback, ahead of Greg McElroy, the team's seventh-round draft pick last year. General manager Mike Tannenbaum said Tuesday that he was confident in the trio, but added: "I'll give you my standard answer, which is you never know if other opportunities present themselves. We'll always look at it. That's the standard line there, but we feel good about Greg, Drew and Mark, and see where we go from there.''

On Tuesday, Sanchez spoke highly of both Tebow and Manning on Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles.

"I think Peyton is going to do great, and I think Tim is going to do great no matter what happens,'' Sanchez said on "The Petros & Money Show.'' "He can learn from one of the best quarterbacks to ever play or he moves on somewhere else and uses his skills at another ball club. He definitely has talent. He knows how to win. He knows how to impact players, so both guys are really in a good situation. It'll work out for both of them.''

The effect Tebow's presence would have on Sanchez remains to be seen. The Jets appear to be committed to him financially as their starter for at least the next two years, but a restless fan base that got down on Sanchez as he struggled late last season could call for Tebow to take over at the first sign of trouble.

Two minutes after the Jets posted the trade on its Facebook page, there were 874 "likes,'' 366 comments and 247 shares. Most of the comments ran along the lines of: "I might cry'' and "He is not welcome here, another terrible decision.''

Tebow's days were numbered in Denver when Manning chose the Broncos as his next destination. They are two entirely different quarterbacks and it made little sense to keep Tebow as a backup because the Broncos were going to have a vastly different offense under Manning, one of the most precise passers in league history.

Elway and Broncos coach John Fox called Tebow on Monday night to tell him it was possible he would be traded.

Elway said he wanted to do right by Tebow, who took over a 1-4 team and led the Broncos to the AFC West title and a playoff win over Pittsburgh.

"It would be our goal to get him in the best situation possible for him to have success also,'' Elway said.

Elway for Tebow or Ryan for the Sanchise?

Peyton killed Mark Sanchez's and Tebow's career in one day. That takes skills

Wow, even after Manning got his ass shipped outta Denver, he's still pretty big-headed.

Surprised that the Jets wanted him. Even more surprised he snubbed the Jags. Glad he's not going to be in the AFC South though. Everyone knows that he isn't a hall of fame QB, but he does possess some winning qualities.
 
The last thing that I want to see is Tebow in a city like NY. You thought Tebow mania was bad this last season, how bad will that get if Tebow is in NY? I'd rather see him in a small market like Jacksonville.
 
From PFT:
The Wildcat isn’t dead, just ask the Jets
Posted by Evan Silva on March 21, 2012, 11:54 PM EDT

Mike Tannenbaum held a post-Tebow trade conference call on Wednesday night. Perhaps the most prominent theme of Tannenbaum’s comments involved the Jets’ big plans for the Wildcat package with Tim Tebow at the helm, and Wildcat aficionado Tony Sparano coordinating the new-look offense.

Tannenbaum insisted that the Jets “believe” in the Wildcat, and repeatedly called the offensive set “very difficult to defend.” Tannenbaum explained that Tebow will be at the controls.

“We have a vision for the player, we have a role for the player,” Tannenbaum said. At least twice the Jets’ general manager referred to Tebow as a “dynamic playmaker.”

From all indications, the Wildcat will be a huge part of the Jets’ 2012 offense.

Wildcat infatuation isn’t a new development at Jets headquarters. Head coach Rex Ryan wanted to run the Wildcat more as recently as late last season. Ryan even spent an entire week practicing the Wildcat leading up to an early-December game against Washington.

On game day, the Jets rushed seven times for 26 yards out of Wildcat formations, and beat the Rex Gr0ssman-led Redskins.

So in the Jets’ minds, at least, the Wildcat is actually far from dead.

Why all the Tebow hate? Just because he's not ashamed to admit he's a Christian? The media is a brutal, ugly business IMHO, and most of the negative attitudes stem from them. What exactly has the boy done to cause such nastiness. He's a QB in the NFL who wants a chance to prove he can succeed. He's not the only player who kneels and says a prayer of thanks to God above!! I just don't understand why so many fans detest him.
 
For a while, I didn't like him, but then I realized that it wasn't him or his on-field performance that bugged me. It was the media glory he seems to have always received.

Once I had figured that out, I moved past it. Still not a Tebow fan, but his media exposure for pretty good athleticism and winning, despite poor QB play, no longer grates my nerves.

I'll join you on that one.

Maybe he wants to try and be successful outside of his comfort zone? Or maybe he doesn't think he has much of a chance to get into the playoffs with the Jags, but does with the Jets?

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or sincere with the first part. But as far as hating the I do not. I don't hate his religion or his beliefs. I think he's decent person and from what I've seen he's a good man.

What I am sick of is the media coverage he gets for being a decent person and good man and a good christian, not for being a good QB which he cleary isn't. The hype is not his fault and I understand that. The media will jump on anyhting that gets ratings.

What I don't understant is why so many fans adore him for the person but can't see past his obvious flaws as a QB. And it is assumed that anyone who doesn't have a shrine to St. Tebow dislikes him for his religious beliefs.

No, Peyton doesn't get mentioned nearly as much as Tebow, and he earned the accolades he gets. He's a hall of fame QB and an incredible player. He's the headliner of free agency too, so I expect a lot of the coverage to die down now that he has found a home. Tebow won't die out for a long time, he has filled the void that Favre left, and the media loves it. I really could care less about the guy, but I'll be watching to see how the NY Jets circus goes this season. Rex Ryan turned the franchise into the Jersey Shore, but throwing Tebow into the mix ought to be entertaining. I'm hoping hilarity will ensue.

Brady I don't like because he's a stuck up ******* and gets preferential treatment from the refs. He does get a lot of media coverage though, but I think that has a lot to do with the Boston sports media.

If true Tebow is stupid. He would have been handed the starting job and he would be a hero of such magnitude they would have been ripping tarps off in Jacksonville. Instead he goes to become a trick pony #2 where if he ever starts the fans will eat him alive throwing 46% completions.

Also his running is on film now. You can see it last year that teams were getting used to his schtick. Other than NE his numbers tailed off heavily and NE was playing soft with a huge lead knowing he would never run them into a comeback.

Stanton as a legit #2 is highly questionable...at best. I don't think he has ever gone into a season that high in the pecking order anywhere since he has been in the league.

Not being sarcastic at all. It's not his fault the media blows things up the way they do. How long has he been in the league, two years? He's had a lot of pressure put on him, just from the media blitz. It's the fans that act like fools, not him! I'm not saying I'm a huge Tebow fan either, really could care less right now. I do have a tendency to pull for the underdog though! :)

Maybe he chose the Jets so he would get less attention. Sanchez is their man, and he knows that. Maybe a good QB coach can do wonders with him, who knows. No hidden agendas in my post at all. Just asking a couple questions.

Maybe someone spoke to Tebow??? I'm thinking it was Jesus Christ.
 
Pat Robertson weighs in on the Tebow trade:

Television evangelist Pat Robertson says the Denver Broncos didn’t show enough loyalty to Tim Tebow, and they may pay for it this season.

After the Broncos signed Peyton Manning and traded Tebow to the Jets, Robertson said he thinks it demonstrates that Tebow isn’t appreciated. And he said that if Manning’s neck injury keeps him off the field, the Broncos will be sorry.

“I think the Denver Broncos treated him shabbily,” Robertson said, via Mediaite.com. “He won seven games, he brought them into the playoffs, for heaven sakes. I mean, they were a nothing team. He rallied them together with spectacular last-minute passes and, you know, when they beat Buffalo - I mean, Pittsburgh, excuse me - it was a tremendous victory. And you just ask yourself, OK, so Peyton Manning was a tremendous MVP quarterback, but he’s been injured. If that injury comes back, Denver will find itself without a quarterback. And in my opinion, it would serve them right.”

"Something happened a long time ago in Denver, and people might not want to talk about it," Robertson said. "They were under the heel of the Shanahans ... and they got together and swore a pact to the Mannings. They said, 'We will serve you if you'll get us free from the Shanahans.'"

Now, that's FUNNY!! Thanks for the laugh, I needed one!
 
The drama begins. This article is hilarious, it pretty much highlights how emotionally weak Mark Sanchez is and how Tebow feels he has a better shot at starting over Sanchize (who just received a huge extension) over Blaine Gabbert (who is arguably one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL).

Report sounds like Tebow is coming after Sanchez


Mark Sanchez doesn't need this. Mark Sanchez doesn't want this. Mark Sanchez might not be able to handle this.

As if the New York Jets simply trading for Tim Tebow wasn't enough to keep Sanchez strung out, the New York Daily News is reporting that Tebow believes he can beat out Sanchez for the starting quarterback job.

Per a story in Friday's edition of the newspaper: "A major factor in Tebow’s push to come to New York over Jacksonville, his hometown, is that he sees a clear path to resuming his career as a starter, sources tell the Daily News."

That thud you just heard was Sanchez punching a wall.

Look, the Jets can slice it, dice it and spin it any which way they want, but there's no way around it: They have a Category 5 quarterback controversy on their hands. Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan can call Sanchez the starter until they're blue in the face -- nothing's going to diffuse the situation.

And if Tebow is gunning for Sanchez's job, not understanding he's the backup ... that definitely ramps up everything to the next level.

Can training camp hurry up and get here already?

When Tebow to the Jets was first announced, I told a friend of mine that Tebow was expecting the higher power to make the "challenged" QB the top dog in NY. I next suspect to see pea soup flying and Tebow's head spinning in a very unnatural way, as he has made a deal with another "entity."

Unbelieveable but predictable!!!!!!!

Up goes the first Tebow billboard in New York

It’s only a matter of time before someone puts up a billboard in New York (possibly Times Square) urging the Jets to bench Mark Sanchez and roll with Tim Tebow.

Two days in advance of the most anticipated press conference for any backup quarterback in NFL history, the first Tebow billboard officially is in place, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.

As of 12:00 p.m. ET Saturday, Jockey placed a billboard outside Lincoln Tunnel. Bearing a picture of Tebow’s face, the billboard says, “We support Tebow & New York.”

In a statement released by the company, Jockey said that the billboard “plants a stake in the ground that NYC is now officially Tebow-country.”

Mark Sanchez most likely does not approve of this message.
