Not saying I want him or would sign him but he would take the same spot Chase Daniel took the last 2 years and after passing through waivers the same money. But again I'm not saying I want to sign him, just answering your question.

4GetAboutIt!!!! - by him being in an offense that Florida was running at the time, it didn't develop him to be a QB so no don't care what he did at the Broncos that's a player taking a spot that could fill a need/upgrade etc.

Who says he truly didn't? With all of the hoopla the Jets gave, who could really see through the circus tent and say that he didn't beat him out; and in order to save face for the money they paid the ''latino assface" (coined after the butt fumble BTW), just didn't let it be known.

Look at their completion rate and tell me it wasn't at LEAST close.

Sanchez is the present starter, that is proof that he did not get beat out. Regardless of the measurables that you or I look at, if Tebow had legitimately beat out Sanchez, he would be the starter. Close but behind is not beating someone out. If Drew Brees showed up to the Jets training camp Sanchez would be gone, with out so much as an after thought about saving face.

The NY Jets can not beat the Patriots with a Tebow, they cant do it with a Sanchez either.. Hence... Geno Smith.

There were no plans to release Tebow until Geno was available in the draft.... Tebow was under contract which is why he was not up for FA.

The Jets have won 1 of the last 6 meetings.

+1. Mr. Tebow went from a national champ to a national joke.

Pass (something he can't do at this level).

No, you have to be able to throw to be effective in the option. Seneca can do that.

I'm for it. Lets address some objections first:

American dollars & the backup QB?

Completely disagree. Name one "Terrell Owens" on our team. Our guys are the least mouthy, least rap-sheeted, most community oriented guys in sports. Our guys are good guys. Tebow fits.

...exactly. Why not have a backup QB who brings you positive press?

nother good point. I'd like to get the Bounty thing forgotten. Who better than a friend of Jesus to cleanse our image?

Slam Bam. Coming to NOLA would be like getting in the Witness Protection Program. He just wouldnt be that big of a deal here. And zero people, not even Skip Bayless would expect him to upend Brees. Brees would feel zero threat. You gotta realize, a big part of the circus in NY was that Sanchez is weak enough that Tebow was a threat to start.

And He's WON. Somehow, he finds a way
to win.
Look, if Brees goes down, we're shooting craps anyway. Why not have a b/u QB who functions as both a utility player & a PR boost? We're the one city that benefits from Media attention. Isnt this the reason you were ok with the stupid azz London Game? Well there's the exposure you want.

pretty much does it for me. I vote "yes."

vpheughan · 04-30-2013, 06:59 PM

Pay the league minimum and he EARRRRRRRRNS his spot!

Seer1 · 04-30-2013, 06:59 PM

Sky, you're only pulling up stuff you want to read. There's some hard stuff out there you're totally ignoring. It's all moot now though. He's got a job.
