Ryan said the Jets could use Tebow on as many as 20 plays a game. Funny, I don't recall there being even ten plays for Smith. More like 5, maybe. It will be a different O.
I'll bet that Tebow doesn't get more than 10 snaps in any gameplan. The only way he gets more is if Sanchez completely shits the bed and Tebow finishes the game ... just like any other backup in the history of the league. And for the record ... is the anyone out there who thinks we don't win that Miami game if Tebow was on the team? And probably the Denver game too.
Most quarterbacks like to get in a groove. A couple incomplete passes get erased with a reception. What is going to happen on long drives? Are we going to get cute and break up the rhythm established? Another thought to consider will Tebow fans be so clueless in their desire to see him on the field that our offense can't hear the snap count? Since the PSLs started we already have enough people in the stands who have no clue when to make noise. I can't see it getting better. Now Steve Young is spewing his nonsense. Soon doctors after reading blood pressure readings will be asking, "Are you a Jets fan?".
We also get blown out by SD and probably lose one of the Bills games and the Dallas game is over in the first half and probably lose the Washington game. Over all worse with Tebow last year than Sanchez.
The context I read that in, he kind of threw that out there as an extreme, round number, as in "could be one, could be twenty." I wouldn't go too crazy about that just yet, we'l have to see how they do it. How both QBs play and who the opponent is both will dictate how that works.
How the hell can tim tebow afford his own plane? Does virgin airlines know about this? I want to bathe in this man's mojo. No homo.
I have read that The $2.5M that the Jets paid to Denver will have to count against the cap. Therefore, the cap value is more like $3M this year. I don't think everyone not in the Jets FO really knows the real cap hit at this point though. Also, the Jets lost a #4 round choice. Although it's no guarantee that could have been used on a full-time player.
This is actually a valid point (and how often do I ever agree with you?). Carolina is going through something similar with Cam, where they want to find someone who can mimic his skills to back him up. If Sanchez goes down, to take full advantage of Tebow you have to change the offense to what Tebow does well. For the Broncos that meant a lot of screens, read-options mixed with deep shots down the field to take advantage of defenses who tried to stack the box to stop Tebow from running. On the flip side, if you decide to start Tebow, and Tebow gets hurt the gameplan goes out the window since Sanchez isn't going to run the same stuff as Tebow. Also, wouldn't Wayne Hunter be protecting Tim's Blindside? Tebow better say a few more prayers if that comes to pass.
I'm not sure either. His website doesn't even have a store where you can buy Tim Tebow related products
Yeah, McDaniels ran the offense and called the plays. After he was fired in 2010, Studesville took over as interim coach and McCoy took over the play calling duties.
Of course they haven't indicated that. I thought the discussion was a scenario where Sanchez got injured and our #2 QB had to play?
Yes, I did see Elway play his first year as a starter. I watched him firing offtarget rockets all over the field on his way to having a 47.5% completion percentage. I also watched Eli demonstrate that he wasn't all that accurate his first year as a QB when he racked up a 48.2% completion percentage. Just to be clear, I'm not offering this as proof that Tebow WILL get better, rather, I'm saying that he CAN get better and past history shows us that many guys who went on to be GREAT QBs struggled their first year as a starter.
Both of those guys looked like NFL QB's with a ton of potential in area's required to be an NFL QB. Tebow, not so much. Lay off the stats and use the eyeball test. Tebow doesn't pass.
Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf "looked" like NFL QBs as well, but that doesnt' get you very far. Tebow's problem right now is that he is inconsistent and has flawed mechanics. Mechanics can be fixed. Personally, I'd like him to forget what he has learned and to go back to passing how he did at Florida.
Using two of the biggest busts in NFL history as an example is a good one for someone trying to make a point that doesn't have much chance of sticking. People can always better themselves with hard work, and Tebow is obviously a very hard worker. The gap between where he is in terms of an NFL QB and where he needs to be is gigantic compared to most anyone drafted as an NFL QB. I believe it's an insurmountable gap. He just doesn't have the God given talent to work himself to an acceptable NFL QB level. This isn't college football.
