    How many people here blame Tebow for the Jets loss last night? I'm sure many people here do.

    Don't be silly. If anything, the coaching staff is to blame for having no coherent plan for playing him, either as a change of pace guy or as a legit backup for a starter having a predictably terrible game.

    Tebow should be an automatic 3rd and 4th down, short yardage guy. Also he should play redzone QB giving the pathetic redzone performance Sanchez recently had.
    That 4th and 1, they should ask Tebow to go for it. The success rate is no worse than a blocked punt or long return.

    Well, I certainly don't blame Tebow, but I'm hearing BS about him ruining Sanchez's rhythm. I am inclined to concur with the line of thinking that he should not have been given that series, nor put in after Sanchez completed those two passes. They should have used him in short yardage situations only last night to pick up 1-3 yards for a first down only.

    I agree with your comments though. That doesn't account for 4 INTs, a fumble, and bad offensive coaching all-around.

    Two wrongs don't make a QB.

    It looks like they don't even practice during the week. Everything is sloppy on offense. Inexcusable.

    Can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you.

    The Jets offense has looked like this periodically for the last couple of seasons, although this is about as bad as its gotten. Last year in one game they had to call a timeout before the first play from scrimmage! That's almost incomprehensible.

    First you have to be relevant, before you can get the blame.

    No he's pretty safe from getting the blame when on the bench.

    I do not agree, here is the reason why:

    According to many Tebow threw off Sanchez's rhythm by coming into the game.
    Sanchez had a whole 18 yards passing in a quarter before Tebow got in the way and caused him to throw that pick. In fact the disruption was so severe , Sanchez was throwing flutter duck interceptions into triple coverage late in the game.

    never has a 5 play stint caused so much harm to a football team. It was devastating.

    He's irrelevant. No blame.

    I don't buy the "rhythm" argument. Sanchez has had more chances that most quarterbacks would get in 100 lifetimes.

    Even if you buy the rhythm argument, its not Tebow's fault in any way. What's he supposed to do when they call his number, refuse to go out there? Just piss poor personnel management from soup to nuts.

    I don't really either. People said the same thing about Orton, and to an extent, I think Tebowmania got under his skin. Had some merit because he had the worst completion percentage and threw more interceptions per attempt that last year than he had his whole career.

    But that just reinforced that Orton wasn't the guy if he couldn't handle Mr. Popularity behind him.

    For the Jets, it is clear the organization is behind Sanchez. Look at the way Tebow was treated all year when they could have pulled Sanchez any time but didn't.... (and only did so when Tebow was unavailable to play.) I don't see how Tebow could have threw him off.

    Jets simply don't give a shit about Tebow and most people can see that clear as day. Even Sanchez.

    Like I said, you have to be relevant before you can get the blame.
