the information is there but you are apparently not bright enough to comprehend it. unfortunately for you, everybody else likely sees it, and your stupidity. that's not an insult, it is a fair analysis based on your own statements. anyone claiming that Tebow refused to play any other position for the Jets other than QB is too stupid to have recognized how many times he was on the field last year in a non-QB role.
See more insults and no information. Yea and when asked if he would play any other position he has told other teams NO. Ouch hurts doesn't it. Now last time I am going to talk about Tebow, you go follow him to whatever watering hole he ends up in. /end of tebow See I am smart enough to talk without insults... Unlike you
NEWS FLASH: Espn just lost 50% of their Jets news stories, thanks to Tim Tebow being cut. Word in Espn headquarters are the heads will roll... anonymous source of a source See Mehta 2 can play this game.
no, you said, in regards to being on the Jets, he only wanted to play one position. you see, not insults, you aren't even bright enough to understand the words you type. and you are going to have to show where Tebow has said he would only play QB, and not any other position. he has said he wants to play QB, but that doesn't equate to saying he would refuse a contract from a team if he wasn't guaranteed that.
Fatty Matty Francesca. Best of luck Tim Tebow. Screwed over with an inept OC in Sparano yet never threw anybody under the bus.
Tebow chose to come to a team with an established starting QB in place. a shitty starting QB, but at that point he had 2 AFCCG appearances in 3 years, which is more than Tebow has ever done. Tebow screwed himself.
so,you think if they though he was worth a damn they wouldnt have kept him over signing Garrard? Tebow suprised a few people in denver,but it would not have lasted. He is not a QB
He can be cut earlier & Jets can use a "June 1st" designation. http://overthecap.com/explaining-the-june-1st-designation/
OH my God, you need to get a life! Is there really no other way you can make people pay attention to you Matty? How pathetic! Look, you can cut & paste quotes from the so-called experts until the cows come home regarding our team. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and most of them stink. Just come back when you have something relevent to contribute when the Jets play your team Matty...
This sums it up. From Les Carpenter at Yahoo sports. Why did the Jets want Tim Tebow in the first place? Apparently the New York Jets couldn't have hated Tim Tebow more. They dumped him on the first Monday after the NFL draft, knowing that other teams' rosters will be filled and the chance Tebow finds another job in the league is bleak. It wasn't enough for the perpetually dysfunctional half of East Rutherford's two football franchises to drop Tebow from its roster. It had to humiliate their backup quarterback on the way out the door, timing his release to come at the worst possible moment. The coach who never seemed to like Tebow issued a statement on Monday that thanked him for being in shape, which coming from a man whose most salient comment in the last three years had to do with eating a "goddamn snack" seemed as backhanded a swipe as any. Rex Ryan couldn't run Tebow to the curb fast enough. Then he had to jump on his head. Tim Tebow saw just 77 offensive snaps this past season with the Jets. (USAT Sports) All of which would make sense if Tebow came pulling an arrest record or showed up late for meetings or cost the Jets the playoffs with a bad interception. Instead, the disdain with which the Jets threw him out the door after barely using him in a waste of a season – he appeared in just 77 offensive plays – raises a bigger question that speaks to the chaos of a franchise that never gets it: Why did the Jets want Tim Tebow in the first place? They were the ones who pursued Tebow last spring, pushing hard to get him. They worked themselves into a kind of bidding war with his hometown Jacksonville Jaguars, eventually trading a fourth-round pick to get him in March 2012. They convinced Tebow and his family that they were the best team for him. They even had a plan. He would sometimes play quarterback, sometimes receiver, sometimes running back and sometimes block. It would be a little like the role they once had for Brad Smith and something they missed after Smith went to Buffalo before the 2011 season. Then after getting Tebow, after rattling their fragile starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez, with his presence, they barely used him. Rather than give him the ball in the red zone and let him shove his way to the end zone, they left him wearing a ballcap on the sideline. Instead of lining him up as a tight end or receiver, they made him hold a clipboard. When they could have used him as an option or wildcat quarterback a dozen times a game, they chose instead to lock him to the bench. All summer and fall Ryan kept saying he had a plan for Tebow. He kept alluding to a secret series of plays that never materialized, leaving this backup quarterback to be the most visible decoy a 6-10 team has ever had. It's as if the Jets traded for him for the publicity – to be the talk of the town after their stadium partner – the Giants – won the 2012 Super Bowl. Why else would they get him? Why else would they waste a fourth-round pick? By the time the Jets made the trade they should have known Tebow's strengths and limitations. Heck, the whole world knew about them through the final frantic weeks of Denver's run to the 2011 AFC West title and the playoff win over Pittsburgh. All anyone had to do was watch John Elway's face. He could barely hide his disdain for Tebow's game. Tebow has always brought a strange mix of potential and handicaps. He has never been an accurate passer in a short and medium game, but he has shown he can make the long pass. He's never been fast or elusive as a runner, but he seemed to find holes in defenses. When the Jets fought to get him, you would think they understood what they were getting. You would guess they had a way to exploit his strengths. Instead they embarrassed him. They seemed to hate the way he drew more interest than their other players. They grumbled about the mania around him that was so great they had to hold a separate press conference for him after games in which he barely played. But in trading for Tebow they had to know they were acquiring someone whose larger-than-life following dwarfed that of Ryan or Sanchez. He was possibly the most famous player in the league when the trade with Denver was made, bringing with him a following that was nothing if not devoted. How could they not be prepared for what was to come? So if they didn't want him as a quarterback and didn't like him as a multiple threat or a public relations pawn, why did they trade for him? Now the Jets are rid of Tebow, replacing one quarterback quandary with another – a four-way fight between Sanchez, Geno Smith, David Garrard and Greg McElroy. It's a battle with no clear winner, just more confusion, more chaos, more upheaval. In other words, more Jets. Off goes Tim Tebow, the player they pursued hard but never really wanted. They shamed him for their own lousy judgment, showing him on Monday just how disgusted they were. Perhaps they are right – Tim Tebow might not be an NFL player. At least not a quarterback. But they could have done a lot better than kick him in the face on a day when they should be wiping the mud from their own.
Why so much fuss over one shitty QB? This kind of stuff happens every day without the entire nation losing their minds. Who gives a damn?
Because of a small cult of unrelenting droolers that do not understand reason or reality. And will never do so. People that will research every single offensive formation and figure out how it applies to Football Jesus. People that will deify him for his performance in high school. People who will stop at nothing to defend the honor of a quarterback that cannot play quarterback. It's kind of like when the world found out that Brittney Spears couldn't sing, and had producers using autotune to make her sound talented. I'm sorry, I'm wrong about that analogy. It's not KIND OF like that. It's EXACTLY like that.
The defense and kicker are Tim's autotune, haha. I just get the mental image of Tim in booth trying to sing with his coaches in the mixing room looking on in horror. In the words of Dexter, "de horror...de HOOOOROR...de hooorooooor..."
Yay!!! No more media circus!!! Well at least partially. I'm surprised he didn't even get a chance to participate in the competition. At least this way Tebow has a chance to go somewhere and actually develop his skills.
You can't separate the huge distraction Tebow brings from Tebow the player. Trading for Tebow was one of the worst moves in Jets history and his presence geomatrically added to the negative media attention and circus image this team had post 2011 season . When it was time to cire the wagons and concentrate on rebuilding the locker room and team chemistry while removing the media microscope from this team, the Jets brought in the most divisive player in the league. The negative impact this trade would have on the 2012 team was obvious. Tebow is likely done as an NFL QB because he is terrible, not because the Jets didn't play him enough. The Jets not playing him despite Sanchez having a disastrous season just illustrates how bad Tebow is and says nothing bad about the Jets except how stupid the trade was. This is a great day for the Jets. The circus tents are starting to come down.
What would be an example of this? What incident took place? Where was the division? The only person who brought the circus when it came to Tebow was REX. Rex hyped Tebow to the media. Rex held the closed door practices. Once the season started Tebow was not a factor. If you want to know the source of the "circus" atmosphere start with the coach. And then let me ask this simple question. In the minds of the press, football fans and society at large, what will the 2012 season be most remembered for: A) Tebowmania B) Butt fumble
