Good job Woody. You have created this nightmare. NO ONE WANTS TEBOW ON THIS TEAM. Not the coaches. Not his teammates. Only the owner.
It's not about Tim Tebow, it's about the fact that Rex Ryan, for the second consecutive season, has LOST HIS TEAM. It's time for the entire organization to clean house, because the Rex Ryan regime is crashing and burning before our very eyes. He's done. It won't be enough to just make a change at QB, changes at GM and HC must occur as well. Until that time we will continue to underachieve and lose football games and have bullshit like this spewed throughout the season. We don't have men on this football team, we have little children who are too afraid to put their name on anything, except for Matt Slauson, the guy losing his job to VLADIMIR DUCASSE. Same Old Jets.
I didn't read that as Rex is losing the lockerroom. I read that as more like the team is sick of Tebow. I don't think Rex wanted Tebow, and it's obvious the team didn't want him either. It's been a terrible distraction.
Yeah I don't see how Rex has lost the lockerroom. What exactly are you reading? It seems he would have lost the locker room if he started Tebow because nobody has seen anything from him in the practices
It's well established that Tebow isn't a good practice player. It's also well established that he took a bargain basement, 1-4 team to the play-offs last year and beat the #1 defense in the league. Even though Orton "gave the team the best chance to win", according to everybody and their brother in the Broncos organization and locker room. He beat the Jets last year for crying out loud, don't they remember that? Good grief. Lose with mediocrity, or take a chance with a bad practice player who is a gamer and raises things to a new level in games. What do they have to lose, they're already 3-6 for cripes sake....sheesh.
So true. If Rex wanted this guy he would've started Weeks ago. Most other backup QBs would've had a start already. Woody the Terrible. Sent via Samsung Galaxy S2
Tebow doesn't drink soda or alcohol. He doesn't hang out at strip clubs or bars. He doesn't even eat in random restaurant in order to keep his body in premium shape. I think he is very 'boring' in many teammates' eyes, and doesn't bond very well with those gangsters.
Players should not be bashing other players, especially when you yourself are a steaming pile of garbage. YOU'RE 3 AND 6!!!. It's childish and if the head coach had any control, it would not happen. Rex Ryan is a buffoon and done here. The glorified Coordinator as HC run is coming to a close. If it weren't for Indianapolis laying down in Week 16 of 2009, it would already be cemented in stone.
Anonymous team sources rip Tebow and WRs http://m.nydailynews.com/1.1201722 Tebowmania may have captivated the NFL last season, but Tim Tebow’s new team doesn’t believe that he’s a savior. More than a dozen Jets players and members of the organization painted a sobering picture of the player who rallied the Broncos to the playoffs last season. In their eyes, he’s simply not very good. The prevailing thought in the organization is that Tebow is nothing more than a gimmick. “He’s terrible,” a defensive starter told the Daily News. Although Tebow told The News last month that he has made improvements as a quarterback over the past few months, none of the people in the organization who spoke to The News shared that sentiment. Both offensive and defensive players admitted that they hadn’t noticed any appreciable improvement in Tebow’s quarterback skills in practice since he was traded to the Jets in March. Tebow has been a poor practice player throughout his career. His current teammates echoed sentiments from Denver Broncos players a year ago about the lefthanded signal caller’s poor practice performance. The 3-6 Jets’ dwindling playoff chances haven’t changed this mind-set in the locker room: Tebow isn’t a panacea. Despite Mark Sanchez’s league-low 52% completion rate and league-high four red-zone interceptions, the players believe he should remain the starter over Tebow, who has accounted for only 132 total yards and averaged seven offensive snaps per game. Rex Ryan has backed Sanchez without publicly guaranteeing that he will be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Left guard Matt Slauson, who has repeatedly supported Sanchez, made it clear that the fourth-year signal caller is the Jets’ best quarterback. “It’s not even close,” Slauson said. “All the other quarterbacks know it. I have all the confidence in Mark. We don’t really have a choice.” When asked about the team’s two other quarterbacks on the depth chart as possible alternatives — Tebow and Greg McElroy — Slauson clarified that the Jets really have only one other quarterback. “We have Greg . . . and we have an athlete,” Slauson said. But could the Jets win with Tebow as the No. 1 quarterback? “Do I have to answer that question?” a veteran starter said, shaking his head. To most of the people in the organization, Tebow is nothing more than a specialty player who doesn’t have the requisite skills to be a true quarterback in the league. “We don’t look at him as a quarterback,” another starter said. “He’s the Wildcat guy.” The designation dismisses Tebow’s success in Denver last season. Despite Tebow’s magic from a year ago, the Jets still view Sanchez as a much better option and have no immediate plans to bench him, according to sources. None of the members of the organization interviewed by The News believed that a zone-read offense tailored to Tebow’s strengths can help the Jets reverse their fortunes. “Hell, no!” another starter said. “You got to keep defenses honest. You just can’t line up in the Wildcat all the time. That won’t work.” Tebow’s legs provide a tempting alternative for the Jets’ slumping offense. “That’s the real threat he brings,” defensive lineman Mike DeVito said. “He’s a winner,” said a Jets source, who made it clear that even though he wanted Tebow to get more playing time, Sanchez should remain the starter. “If he stays on the field long enough, usually good things happen.” But most members of the Jets don’t believe that what they saw from Tebow last season is sustainable. “We can’t win running that sh--,” one player said. They think Tebow’s heroics in Denver were a mirage. “Now we’re depending on miracles?” a member of the organization said. “You can’t play that way.” However, Sanchez’s poor play raises legitimate questions about whether a change — if only temporary — is in order for a team that has lost nine of the last 12 games dating back to last season. The decision-makers don’t think that’s the right course of action. “It would take extreme poor play. . . . like a five-interception game,” said a prominent member of the organization. “Something where it was just ridiculous. It would take Mark to totally just sh-- the bed and become unglued (before there was a quarterback change).” The organization has factored Sanchez’s weak supporting cast of skill position players into the equation. “Look at some of the players he’s throwing to,” a Jets official said. “It’s garbage.” Said another Jets source: “I’ve seen better receiving corps in college than we have on our team.” So, who wants Tebow to be the starter? “Nobody,” a member of the team said.
It would be one thing if they were just ripping Tebow, but we have an anonymous source shittalking the WRs now. This team is fucked
I was gonna say at least we're not the Marlins, but actually I think the Marlins might be in better shape at this point
The funny thing about all this is, a Tebow lead team beat the Jets last year. How quickly some of these clowns forget.
That is a loser mentality captured right there. Hope it's all scrubs plus Cromartie (he's obviously the defensive starter) Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
There are no words for how stupid this post is. CowboyFan, Bannon, D9. You seeing this? This idiot is why Tebow fans are despised.
This is really an awful article. We knew this locker room was fucked, but this is insane. The sheer number of statements made and the willingness to throw the entire WR core under the bus is just appalling. It's a team "official" making this statement meaning it's the entire organizational problem, not just a locker room issue anymore.
team official is a broad term...could be equipment manager. Doesn't really excuse them talking, but somehow doubt it was anyone important. Really this article shows the team is coming apart in the locker room. "We have no other choice" is not a glowing recommendation for Sanchez either
Trade or cut Tebow then if this is the how the team feels. Let him go anywhere else and let all of these players have Sanchez lead them nowhere this year and next. This was one of the harshest articles I have ever read. If true, this is bad.
