Adam Schein @AdamSchein I just talked to an "unnamed Jets source." Really, I just did. He (or she) thinks the Tebow story is a "joke".
Tebow's endorsement lifespan is about used up. He was a one trick pony last year. No one will give him a chance to be a starter again. He'll be selling bibles in 3 years.
Fuck this team. I'm going to laugh when Slauson gets cut. Clown show is right. And Tebow, regardless of what you think of his talent as a player, will be pure class and say nothing back.
That will be up to him. Realistically I think any team would pay him to be on special teams and be a emergency QB. He could be in the league for a long time with a role like that. If he just wants to play QB or nothing he might not make it. At this point he would need a team to go all in with him. Someone mentioned Tebow not having an NFL arm which is false. His arm is fine, the problem is his mechanics are bad, he has trouble reading defenses and he doesnt operate well under center. Those things may be fixable. He has enough physical talent to be an NFL QB. It is just a matter of cleaning up his game.
I didn't see a single Slauson quote in the article that was posted. Is there another one? In the post a few up, he was referring to what Holmes said LAST SEASON when he mentioned to the press about Sanchez needing better protection. Please give me the link to Cromartie talking about Tebow as being terrible. It's BS, nothing more. Unless there is evidence, I think the article is full of shit and I have every right to doubt the media after the nonsense they spew constantly. The real issue is fans believing them when they have ZERO credibility.
maynardsmyhero never said that - he just wants the Tebow distraction to end. The major screw-up in this is that the Jets do not have a backup to turn to. Sanchez is playing badly enough to warrant a benching, but putting Tebow in brings a ton of excess baggage (which is not his fault, in my opinion). If the coaches believed in him he would be playing more, given how badly Sanchez has struggled. Even if the coaches don't believe Sanchez is at fault (bad receivers, bad o-line etc) they would pull him at the end of some of these games just to let him get his head straight, because he's unravelling out there. Tebow not getting in means he is unwanted by the coaches and is just a distraction that needs to go. It will be better for him as well to be elsewhere.
You have no idea what kind of compelling charm this guy possesses. I am not a Christian, not playing football, not a English speaker, not even an American. But apparently, I get it, you don't.
I can't tell if you're trolling or if you're really this clueless. His endorsement value was exceptionally high before he ever started a game and will continue to be extraordinarily high long after he takes his last snap. He's arguably the best college football player of all time and he's essentially a folk hero for a relatively large portion of the country. Tebow could go into a coma for three years and wake up with 8-digits' worth of endorsement checks.
+100000000. Despicable journalism to say the least. Manish is just trying to stir the pot. Everyone needs to unfollow him on twitter. He's a proven clown.
Probably. Most coaches hate leaving their comfort zone and doing something other than what their mentor taught them was the way to play the game. You could almost see John Fox cursing under his breath after every win because it meant that they'd have to stick with the no talent QB running his high school offense for yet another week. He'd rather lose the traditional way than win running that damn high school offense that made a fool out of Dick LeBeau. That's the real reason that Rex doesn't want to play Tebow. He may win ... and then he'd be stuck with him.
Manish Mehta talked to the groundskeeper, the head concession manager and the team mascot. He just wants to work for ESPN, not to say that the team doesnt suck as it is now anyways.
You must be reading the ESPN article. The original article is from Mehta. Slauson is quoted as saying: 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.

This. I would be fine working with someone like Tim. I think most normal Americans would. But this is the NFL. These are young, often single, testosterone filled, millionaires that have been getting some kind of preferential treatment since high school and almost certainly at a party filled university (any of them). NFL players have the morals that most of us would have in that situation.....loose when we want them to be loose....right when we need them be right...and exactly fitted for our own personal preference. Tim's altruism, consistency in behavior, and integrity has to bother at least a segment of them, even if they view themselves or quite possibly are also good people.
I think it would be really cool if for one game the team changed all the names on the back of their jerseys to say "Anonymous." Seems the over/under on subversive anonymous Jet stories each season is around two.
I'm rapidly approaching this point. It's funny because I'm not a big fan of Tebow's game. I don't think he'll ever make it as an everyday starter in the NFL. But this is really ugly. And like you said, he's nothing but class. Deserves a lot better from teammates.
Give the man a cigar! ; ) I love stirring up the bible thumping, Tebow backing crowd. Seriously, he's no dummy. He'll do whats asked and not comment. When his NFL time is up he'll do something else and still have a squeaky clean image. As for football, the question is what does he do after next year? No one will bring him in as a back up QB unless its as a 3rd string QB / special teams guy.
