The Jets cotinue to be offseason winners, though in this case I use that term extremely loosely. For the past couple of years the Jets have been extremely successful in building up hype and making significant moves in the offseason, even though the trade for backup quarterback Tim Tebow has been largely panned it has generated extreme buzz for gang green. The move itself is not as head-scratching as people think it is and the reason for it happening is very simple: The Jets are ready to move on from Mark Sanchez. Recent history has proven that a team just doesn't "acquire" a noteworthy Quarterback just for kicks or "special packages" as the Jets are saying for Tebow. Take a look at when the Eagles picked up Mike Vick, they were adamant in saying that Donovan McNabb was their guy and he would be. Mcnabb even signed a new contract just like Mark Sanchez signed and he was gone a year later. Sanchez will get his chance this upcoming season but I think if he doesn't significantly improve he'll soon be throwing passes in a different uniform and watching Tebow take over Manhattan for real.

I honestly don't think Mark will get that much play time, the fans want to see Tebow. I agree with you, this is going to be his last year.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I didn't agree with the deal. First of all they gave up too much for a back-up, if that's what they say he is, but this will ultimately cause a quarterback controversy.
ReplyDeleteim still not sure why you would have two very capable QB's on one team.one is obviously gonna outshine the other,but they both deserve 1st string.and i agree,tebow will become the crowd favorite
