Pictures Tweeted from Manish today. http://yfrog.com/h09zihpj - Mark Sanchez's locker 10 mins before players are avail before practice http://yfrog.com/gzfhhjuwj - Tim Tebow's Locker at same time. Could it be possible that this is a blessing in disguise for Sanchez. No more media hounding practice after practice. With the spotlight shared can Sanchez spend more time Leading and becoming a figurehead in the locker room not in the National Media. It's just a thought but if nothing else this is one less distraction Mark has to deal with on a daily basis. I for one ( if i was trying to get better and win football games, would take this 10/10 times ). "Hey Tebow, Talk to these media dumb-A$$es get em to leave Mark alone so he can practice. Now i'm going to get a god damn snack" - Rex
LOL great post. I think Rex is a crazy enough to know this and use it to his advantage in the media.He has played the media before in the past
I don't think Sanchez will give a shit cause he can pretty much go out and get anyone else to replace her. Besides, Tebow's a virgin.
I know Tebow is very Religious and kudos to him but if Tebow has a chance to bed Upton and passes then his sexuality should be questioned or at the very least his sanity
Not when half the fans are yelling for Tebow every time Sanchez throws an INC, or heaven forbid, and INT.
Agree to disagree. Although I agree this is going to be something Sanchez will need to deal with, I see the clubhouse as an entirely different beast that Mark needs to grab by the horns. If having 1 less reporter at his Locker asking him about anything (kate upton, photoshoots, etc ) That's that much more time Sanchez can work on actually being with and molding the locker room into a team and himself into a leader. Really just trying to throw out another upside to this situation. I for one still back Sanchez 100% and think he's gonna be the man in NY for quite some time. However I also think that the Tebow move is one of the smartest football moves that was made this offseason ( if we can get the fans to not chant Tebow on every inc and still let Sanchez develop). Tebow if used correctly has the potential to fill a few of the many holes for this team ( QB Depth, RB Depth, TE3 ). Here's to hoping we can get there.
You're right. It's not as though reporters just have a conversation with the player and that's it. The more reporters focus on Tebow and the less they focus on Sanchez I think will lead to more blatantly pro-Tebow anti-Sanchez articles.
It will come down to wins. People seem to conveniently forget that the supposed "Tebow Circus" went through a 2-13 performance by Kyle Orton in 2010, and a 1-4 start in 2011. It would be hard to maintain any status quo on that kind of losing tear.
Let's also remember this is a 25yo who's won 4 road playoff games, and has been boo'ed heavily at a home game, a game that he threw 4 touchdown passes and won. He's not completely unknown to hostile territory, and he's shown he can handle the pressure in most cases. I think he has the potential to be great. Basically it all comes down to coaching as to whether or not this team is going to be successful. The talent is there.
Just so you know, the anti-Jets, anti-Tebow, and anti-Sanchez articles won't stop. Nor will the anti-Hunter, anti-Rex, anti-Jets fans, or the anti-anythings, particularly IF the Jets make a SB run. :beer: Here's to the media trashing the Jets for winning the SB!!!
The crappy thing about being a Jets fan--you know the starting QB is going to get booed. The great thing about being a Jets fan--you know that if they put in QB2, he's going to get booed, too.
I will say that I haven't seen such positive, underdog-like vibes towards Sanchez in the fans and media before the Tebow acquistion. As a hot shot, top draft pick, California kid he's been scrutinized more than anyone I've seen as QB of the NYJ. If its been exhausting for me I'm sure its been exhausting for him. (not that I wouldn't trade places with him) Since the Tebow acquisition its been all "Are you kidding me, they are going to RUIN Mark Sanchez.. Why would they do this to Mark Sanchez.. He's an improving young QB why would you give him this circus distraction YADA YADA.. " from the majority of the media and fans- Really? because you would think Sanchez sucks with all the comments in the media pre-tebow "the Jets will never win with him.. etc." Its really been a 180 in perspective, I kind of enjoy that myself.
It is a team sport, but unless you're a first round pick whose management has a vested interest in seeing you succeed, you're not likely to survive that kind of record as a QB.
That's been my observation as well. There were some serious concerns about Sanchez after this season. Now they seem to be cleaned up.
I'm aware it's a team sport. When you have a first round draft pick quarterback on the bench, and the team is losing its ass anyway, the fans tend to want to get on with it and see if the new quarterback can play (because they figure, if we're losing anyway, why not get to see the new guy play). Maybe someday you will learn this.
one thing you should learn is how to read numbers. The Broncos were 4-12 in 2010. How did you get Orton's record was 2-13? You might have also mentioned that the Broncos had the league's worst D in 2010, their HC was fired midseason for the Spygate II scandal, Orton was injured, and the team lost Dumervil and their leading RB White to season ending injuries before the season even started. Despite those hindrances, Orton was still ranked at 15th in Qb rankings. Which is far better than Tebow was last year, and probably far better than Tebow will ever sniff in the rest of his career. Learn that, Tebot.
