Will you remain a Jets fan once Tebow is gone? Will you remain active on this site? I really hope you do. If not, though, may Tebow take you to a more perennially contending team
Quite honestly, if Tebow leaves at the end of this season, many here will be happy as I will be out the door. Simple fact is that this one year hasn't been enough time for me to develop deep and lasting ties with the team. I can't speak for others, but for me, it's basically like dating. I went "all in" on the Jets and hoped to build a long lasting relationship, but sometimes it doesn't work, so you move on. As to whether I'll remain active on the site presuming Tebow leaves, it's kind of hard to say.
Try to get the tentacles to attach, but it will be hard if he's released (or traded). We'll see -- there are some strange stories out there on how people first got to like their team. Weird things start it for people -- once you start following a team, sometimes it attaches. Not only will his options be shrinking, but there are only a small number of teams in the NFL that I could "like." Like maybe 8 or so. Next stop is probably more the "wish him well" variety. With the Jets, I kind of always liked them anyway, so it was a potential match. I watch Mike and Mike every morning, so Greenie has always kept me following the Jets.
Never was a Jets fan, never claimed to be. I was willing to become one over time, but I'm not going to become a fan of the team just because Tebow is on it. I'll root for them whenever they play anyone other than my Ravens. I will probably lurk here for awhile (I still check out the Bronco Forums every now and then). But most likely I'll be gone. Can't say I'll be rooting for the Jets after this year... probably the opposite. They really screwed my boy over and that make TTTebowAndTheJets ANGRY! :smile:
There's nothing whatsoever to admire about this team. It's a joke. Everyone except Tannebaum, Ryan, and Woody know it. There's not a qb in the world that could lift this team out of the hole it's in. And I can't think of a reason anyone who isn't born within 5 miles of MetLife having any inclination to become a fan. I don't pity Tim Tebow, I pity Jets' fans for what this franchise has become.
Like the 20 other franchise that are searching for a QB? Yeah nothing's really different except we are located in New York
I tried to be a Jets fan. I bought Jets gears, watch Jets games, read Jets news. I lost money and face again and again by bet on Jets with my friends. I get it, it's not easy to be a Jets fan. I will still pay attention to Jets after Tebow leaves. But I am not sure I will come back to this particular site because apparently too many fans here including mods just treat us like 'cockroach'. Good luck to this franchise and its fans. Final question to all truest Jets fans: If Woody relocates the team to Mexico City and changes the name to Tucos, will you still be a fan of this team?
It's all good man, most football fans suffer . Hang in there and get rid of the clown show Tanny and rex , and add the fact that Brady can not play forever and the AFC east will be ripe . :up:
I don't think he meant that as an insult to us so much as saying that this franchise sucks and to get out while we can.... could be wrong :shrugs:
I'll make one confession. Truth time. Part of the reason I that wanted to "follow" the Jets and jump on the bandwagon is that I thought Sanchez would crater. I thought Tebow had picked well, in that sense. I don't like to be negative, and I don't like "fans" who are obsessed with their own predictions, constantly filtering the season through the lens their own previous prognostications about who sucks, who doesn't. And it's annoying. When you like a player (in this case, I'm talking about Sanchez), you don't like to see constant slagging of him, predictions of doom. So I was sensitive to avoid constantly lecturing fans about Sanchez being doomed. I even expressed some support for him. But I thought it would go this way, I thought he would be benched, and I thought we would have the second straight season of Tebow getting to come in and try to create a spark with his unusual style. If Rex had done it soon enough (bye week), I feel certain the Jets would be in the playoffs and we would be having fun with all the stories about Tebow being with two different teams in the postseason on two consecutive years.
I just kind of lurked for the past month or so anyway, never was a huge fan of the team. I rooted for them to win even when it became clear (to me at least) that Tebow was never getting a start. I may hang around a little, I don't post on many forums. Despite all the trolling I think there are a number of reasonable and intelligent posters here.
Certain jets have performed well enough for me to become a fan of them. So if I see Kerley come up with a big catch on espn or cro get a clutch interception or mcknight actually being used on offense (seriously use him more), ill cheer for them. The team on the other hand hasn't really done much to bring in new fans this season. They haven't won much and most losses, hell even some wins were ugly. If things were different and the jets showed some life and the front office stopped making the weirdest decisions and not explaining them, then I might have stuck around, but I probably wont, simply because the team hasn't provided me a reason to.
No and neither is every other team. At the end d the day the quickest way to be a Super Bowl contender is finding an elite QB, it's what every team tries to do
so,if he goes somewhere else and it is revealed that he didnt play here because he sucks,will you come back and acknowledge it?
Just imagine this scenario: Tom Brady, Eli and Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Roger, Ben Roethlisberger, Tony Romo, Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Matthew Stafford, Joe Flacco, Andrew Luck, and RG3, they all hit the FA market after this season ends, how good is the chance Jets can lure one of them to join?
