Shonn Greene thinks it’s time for a change at the quarterback position

It’s a good thing the Jets aren’t a circus.

To cap a day in which multiple Jets said backup quarterback Tim Tebow is “terrible,” coach Rex Ryan called out the unnamed critics as cowardly, and Tebow expressed sadness at the situation, running back Shonn Greene went the other way, suggesting that maybe the clocks should finally be set to Tebow Time.

“Something’s got to change,” Greene told Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports. “When you get to the point where you’re 3-6, and losing and losing, a couple of guys are like, ‘Oh, what would happen [if Tebow played]? But guys at the same time have faith in Mark, so it’s kind of an up-and-down thing.

“You feel bad for Mark, but at the same time you want to win games. We’re not here to protect people’s feelings. If you want to win games, you’ve got to try something. If somebody’s not getting the job done, you see if somebody else can do it. It’s the same with coaching, or any position. You don’t mean to belittle someone or say ‘he sucks.’ That’s just the harsh reality.”

The problem is that it’s now too late to switch to Tebow. If it works, and if the Jets actually start winning, it likely will be too late to help them get to the playoffs. Which would serve only to invite questions regarding why the Jets didn’t make the change sooner.

The bigger problem is that the Jets appear to have the beginnings of a schism. Yes. Schism.

And it possibly wasn’t an accident that Greene included coaching in his list of things that may need to be changed for the team to become successful.

That's what I was thinking. I'm not sure Mr. SG3 can talk.

[Rawrk]

oh cmon!

of all people?! shonn greene?!

[Toon is God]

Man I'm getting real tired of all this B.S. We are a mess

[Diddy]

I think what he saying is that if you don't peform, you should be benched...................

















....He needs to look at himself.

[Bill Belichdouche]

Of all people, Shonn "it takes me 40 fucking carries just to get 100 yards" Greene is the one to talk.

At least he wasn't anonymous. And yes, the fact that I gave him credit for not being anonymous is a new low. This team is an absolute embarrassment.

[General Fan]

Oh boy here we go again.

"a couple of guys are like, ‘Oh, what would happen [if Tebow played]?"

180 degrees in a single day. Too perfect. This franchise sets the standard for dysfunction. I was starting to believe that the Mehta article was junk quotes from the past that he manipulated. Now we have this. Let's see how this one sorts out.

[Diddy]

Is it possible they got that quote while he was suffering from the hit from Spikes?

[iPlayiBall]

This is just a quote from Kerley that I found on Twitter. Anyone who puts names to their comments, good or bad, should be commended on this stupid ass team. Celebrate the little stuff.

Kimberley A. Martin ‏@KMart_LI
Kerley called Tebow "a good dude" who "wks hard every day" & said anonymous guys need to take "ownership" cuz "we win/lose as a tm." #nyj

[catfish]

how bout the players let the coaches make the personnel decisions and they can just focus on not sucking for 60 minutes every Sunday

what it boils down to is there are 53 players on the roster, many more on the practice team and hundreds of people who work for the organization who could be considered "team officials" I bet I could drive to New York visit 1 practice and find 2 players and a dozen employees of the jets who would make an off the cuff remark that means nothing unless taken out of context that I could turn into a hit piece....this whole drama is ridiculous and the team need to buckle down and shut up completely for a bit.

[Diddy]

He is frustrated by losing, I don't blame him. He maybe saying it's time to bench Calvin Pace!!!!!!!

[Bannon]

They're totally twisting the Shonn Greene quote in headlines. There are headlines making it sound like he's calling for a change. All he did was admit it crosses your mind when you are on a losing streak.

[displacedfan]

Hahaha this team. So we can rule Greene out of the players from Manish's article

And Bart Scott. Did you see his quotes in the Silver article?

Twisting headlines, not new. I don't know if you were a Jets fan before Tebow, but this is classic writing for the Jets. Always bend and twist to create headlines, create hysteria from headlines, complain about Jets talking too much (after asking them and publishing their words), then complain about how much the Jets are covered and they need to shut up, then rinse and repeat

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The media are scumbags, they need to ban reporters out of the locker room. Mike Silver also was the dude that reported the "Tebow 4th string QB story" using unnamed sources!

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I posted it in the other thread. This is actually a serious piece by Silver, not just a "me too" pile on. I think Manesh was trying to scoop Silver.
