<p>Or is it heaven? No real surprise here.</p>
<p>For me, the REAL surprise was that they brought him into the Jet’s organization and that he threw a grand total of 8 passes in a whole season. They knew his mechanics were flawed when they got him.</p>
<p>The real annoyance was that the Jets were getting all kinds of press out of proportion to the performance of the team. You would barely have known that there was another team in the same metro area that was contending for the playoffs while the Jets were stumbling along to a 6-10 season.</p>
<p>Well, cutting Tebow should solve all of the Jets QB problems.</p>
<p>Did you see that Mark Sanchez was so upset when the Jets drafted a QB that he threw the remote at his TV? Don’t worry. He overthrew it by 7 yards so no damage done…</p>
<p>LOL interesteddad</p>
<p>If Tebow is looking for new haven, from the Meadowlands take the NJ Turnpike to the GW to the Cross Bronx and follow the signs to 95N. It’s about 2 hours if he’s lucky.</p>
<p>Instead of foolheartedly pursuing a QB position from the beginning, Tebow could have had a secure job as a tight end or fullback. Is it too late for that?</p>
<p>Ucb–us fans of the other local team just popped our popcorn and sat back to enjoy the show. With or without Tebow, the circus aspects look to linger on (God help poor Geno Smith.)</p>
<p>Hondu–good example of that is Michigan’s QB Denard Robinson, who went into the Draft ready to be a WR or RB --basically will play whatever he’s asked. No ego there at all.</p>
<p>Fullback is vanishing position in the NFL and there is no indication that Tim Tebow is a good enough blocker for that. He’s not even in the same universe as an NFL caliber tight end. </p>
<p>Maybe 20 years ago he could have played those positions, but not in today’s game.</p>
<p>As a Jet fan (I’m I the only one left?), I am baffled by the classless treatment of such an outstanding gentleman. The Jets continuous to deteriorate under “Hot Air” Ryan and the sorry — front office. </p>
<p>I wish Tebow well and I hope he wins with Jacksonville because the Jets sure are not winning with these sorry — current players and coaches.</p>
<p>It has been difficult to watch the Giants win 2 superbowls, although, I have to confess that it was good of them putting the whoopin on our hated rivals (aka Belicheat team) from a place up north called Suckston.</p>
<p>I think his best shot is to remain at QB and continue the legacy of UFlorida “greats”… Rex Grossman, Shane Matthews, and Jesse Palmer. (Heck, I’m betting more people know Jesse Palmer for being “The Bachelor” than they do as an NFL QB.) Steve Spurrier may have to come out of retirement…</p>
<p>Tebow is a great guy and the Jets haven’t treated him right. He hasn’t even gotten a chance to play. Seems they only took him on for the publicity. Hope they choke on it.</p>
<p>Why would any team want to 'take him on for the publicity"? Doesn’t seem like there could be any measurable advantage to doing so.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, you must have enjoyed watching games against the NFC West last year – the Jets had a better record against the NFC West than the Patriots did (granted, only because the Jets beat the Cardinals; both teams lost to the 49ers and Seahawks and beat the Rams).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Everything is possible, but I think there are more chances for Tebow to hit a third-read receiver in the NFL than for him to grab a spot for the Jacksonville Jags. And we know that the former is zero. </p>
<p>Very talented QBs have found it extremely hard to make it. The chances for a overhyped hybrid player to change his now exposed stripes are close to nil. And few teams are prepared for the unending circus the apostle brings with him. </p>
<p>Selling chicken, preaching on Sunday, and coaching a high school team might be all that is left for Tebow. There is no doubt he is a nice guy, but he is not a NFL star player he thinks he is. Not even a decent one.</p>
<p>BTW, Montreal has his CFL rights but their QB is the alltime CFL passing leader.</p>
<p>The CFL is foremost a … passing league. What are the chances the CFL teams might look at a QB that is extremely challenged in that particular exercise, even with divine intervention?</p>
<p>There was a rumor that Ryan organized a scrimmage with the offense playing against 11 stationary barrels. After three Tebow series, the barrels had two interceptions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have yet to figure out why the Jets didn’t fire Ryan. He is the one who kept Sanchez starting even after it was clear he was worthless. Ryan has a tattoo on his shoulder of Sanchez so I guess it is not surprising. I wish the Jets had put Tebow in as the starter half way through the season to at least give him a chance to show his skills playing.</p>
<p>Sports radio around here guesses Tebow looked just too awful in practice. Tattoo aside, Ryan woulda played Tebow if the bigwigs wanted him played.</p>
<p>Speculation also is that Tebow’s played his last NFL game. He’s just not that good. Might be a nice guy, but not NFL material.</p>
