    Makes sense and I've been saying all along it wasn't a Woody decision. If Woody brought him in he would also have the power to tell Rex to start him, especially when the season was over. Woody doesn't make personnel moves, nothing in his history would suggest he does. It was just a bad move by the Tanny, a failed experiment.

    The credit was given to Tanny.

    It makes no sense to think Woody made this move. For money reasons you say? How many tickets get sold because people want to watch a QB sit on a bench?

    So, Tanny was the only one that wanted Tebow, and brought him in without input from the coach (who obviously wanted nothing to do with him) and owner.

    Tanny looks like a bigger idiot with each passing day.

    Wait, wait, this might be entirely wrong, the darksiders on this site have said over and over that Rex makes all the personnel decisions...not Woody nor Tanny.

    I would totally support the notion that Woody did not bring him in. Why would he? To sell tickets....that's BS. Jets ans are a bit more sophisticated than that I hope. Further, If that was the case he would have demanded for him to play more in the face of such disaster.
    If it was Tanny then more power to our move to the new GM. If it was Rex then we are screwed...he will demonstrate in spades that he knows nothing about offensive alent.

    Iz do your thing with personnel...you can't do any worse than the Atebow move

    Wait so the owner said he didn't do it, I'm going to believe that. Why Woody own up to that with a GM interview? The only answer is "Tanny made that decision and forced it on me and now he is gone".

    Also, how can he have a player forced on him? Really? If he really was against it, it wouldn't have happened

    Woody is so full of shit. Tannenbaum was the perfect scapegoat for him.

    Can it be possible for a GM to piss away draft picks for someone and write up a contract with impunity? Nobody else in the organization was onboard with that? Interesting....

    yup. in retrospect, this is exactly what tanny does. it also explains why woody didn't force rex to start him and also why rex didn't play him more.

    rex knew tanny was taking the fall for this and felt no pressure to paly tebow at all
