HATE!!!!!!!! I would debate anyone right now who tries to tell me there's an NFL team in a worse situation than this? I'm bag over the head embarrassed for this franchise and this season could possibly be among the worst ever... What a Freaking complete JOKE. We went from a Stadium In the Heart of NYC to freaking laughing stock subletters again in just a few short years.
The PC was supposed to be Friday but the contract tweaking made the deal not official until 4PM Saturday so that moved the PC until today. for those whining about the owner, you deserve Leon hess(he was a good man but a terrible owner).
To think the Jets are having a press conference for a back-up QB, and then saying this is strictly a football decision is a slap in the face of anyone with a brain. That being said, I like the move, as Tebow is a better option than Stanton. If Tebow some how beats out Sanchez down the line, for strictly football reasons, so be it. I don't see it happening, but so be it. There is still plenty of time and options to fix/uopgrade most, if not all of the Jets "issues". I am finding it comical how many TV/radio personalities are saying this move will ruin the Jets. I see it as a good football move, nothing more.
DO you really think a media-conscious team like the Jets wouldn't know what happens when you tell every major media outlet available that you're signing a hype machine like Tebow? Look, junc, I can see all of the football benefits to the trade, but there was a hype angle to this as well, and it's comical to see Woody deny it.
The 2.5million they paid Denver to seal the deal counts against the cap. I'm sure every "backup QB" has their own private jet too. I'm sure Stanton flew out of town on his or perhaps he borrowed McElroy's. If you choose to believe the FO's line about this being purely a football move, that's your choice. BTW, the last QB that flew into town on a private jet was Brett Farve perhaps?
I don't find it hard to believe this was a football move with the added bonus of popularity. What's the big deal people?
Wow. You really are naive. Woody is soaking all this in as little dollar signs are dancing around in his head. End of the day, it doesn't matter to him what the die hard Jets fans think. Tebow fans will outnumber them anyway. Just as this forum has recently become littered with Teboneheads in the last week, so too will the stands; not to mention all the money he's going to make through marketing. I just wish he'd be honest like Jay Z. "The [Jets] could go 0 for [16] and I look at you like this shit gravy."
While I do not necessarily feel the Tebow trade will mean the Jets go from say an 8-8 prediction to 4-12, I hate the move. Despite all the bs coming from the Jet organization and the rose colored glass wearing homers here, not to mention the idiotic posts from The March 2012 Join Date Crowd, I see this move as taking all the air out of any upside potential for the team. I am obviously not a Sanchez fan, but I never believed he needed a fire lit under him. He needs to learn how to read defenses. Does this move help with that? Of course not. The focus of the O, already a problem before Tebow came, will now be further compromised trying to put in plays for Tebow. Meanwhile the Jets have done nothing to upgrade RT, #2 WR, backup Qb and the running game. It's possible the draft will help in some of those areas, but the Jets right now are pretty much guaranteed to go into Opening Day with big problems on O. While the possibility of a good draft is still out there, I can't predict a specific record, but it will be less than needed to go to the playoffs. As for Tebow, he will at some point become the starter, and could have a good game against some weak ass D, but will fail over a two to three game spread. We might even see McElroy before the end of the season.
ugggh..... I even agree with Cimini now :shit: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jets/post/_/id/11393/tebows-intro-will-be-money-for-jets
Football has always been a split ownership between the owner and the fans. There are way too many examples to site where the owners thought differently and fans reacted with closing their wallets and the teams either folded, were sold or moved. The deeper an owner's pockets are the longer he/she can hang on but at some point the accountants tell them to cut their losses.
This wasn't a good football move in the least, if it was even a football move at all. You're basically generating a QB controversy between a fragile-minded starting QB in Sanchez and a uber popular but undeserving back up in Tebow. If Sanchez has one bad game, all it's going to take is ESPN and one NY newspaper to start the shit storm.
Decent trade. The assumption is that Tebow will bring a few new wrinkles to the offense. If it helps the team win games, why not. That's really the bottom line. Does he help us win. If Tebow ends up starting for the Jets by week 3, then we're done.
My understanding is that there are a zillion requests for media credentials and that is why this has become such a big thing.
THIS is why you will have a shit storm you stated it yourself, that's all anyone needs to know about this situation
He's not a backup QB, that's just it he's NOT THE STARTER - that's where it ends there is not another backup in the NFL that is going to have plays, series, quarters assigned to them. Backups are there incase something happens to the starter, Tebow will play on the field even if nothing happens to Mark Tebow is not the backup, he's just not the starter
I'm so sick of hearing about our fragile QB..if he is that much of a basket case then he should crawl back under his bed in sunny southern California and quit the NFL...really, fuck him.
