Tebow Time

It is Tebow time. When the Jets were about to have an under the radar off-season for the first time in forever. They still somehow manage to land the biggest name in, well if not in football, but of all of sports.

The Jets acquired Tim Tebow for a 4th and 6th round pick in the 2012 NFL draft. A low risk move for a former playoff quarterback and a proven winner.

So what does this all mean, was it a good trade or was it a trade just to stir up some headlines.

Let’s look at it like this, as a Jets fan I am content with what Mark Sanchez has done, but am not satisfied. He has taken the Jets to two AFC title games, but has lost them both. Outside fans and analysis all say that Sanchez is young and Jet fans should be grateful for him to have taken them that far. But what about Ben Rothlisberger for example, he won the Superbowl in his second year in the league. So there is no justice when someone says be grateful for what Mark Sanchez has done. When your last Superbowl win was over 60 years ago, there is nothing to be grateful for.

Let’s talk about Tebow. There is no denying that he is as genuine and as hard-working as they come. I would have to imagine what coach would not want someone like that on their team. What I don’t get that people say is, oh Tebow he’s a nice guy, but he doesn’t have the mechanics or the by the book type delivery in order to be successful. All that matters in the NFL is winning, it doesn’t matter how you do it, but as Herm Edwards said, “You play to win the game.”

Many argue that Tebow should just switch to a different position because he is obviously not able to be a quarterback. Tebow won both the National Championship and the Heisman as a quarterback, it is obvious that the kid has some kind of talent.

Was it all worth it.

I think it is a win, win for the Jets. If Mark Sanchez struggles for another year in a row then he deserves to get replaced, the NFL is a competition. If someone is incapable of leading your team to anything short of a Championship then they should be replaced, simple as that. Last time I checked, the Jets haven’t been in the Superbowl since 1969, the good Joe Willy Namath days.

Will Tebow be stating at some point this season, who knows. I think if Sanchez struggles, without a doubt number 15 deserves to be under center. We will all just have wait and see and see how the Tebow story unfolds.

Update: Tim Tebow was released from the Jets. We will never know how it would’ve played out!
