There's going to Tebow-mania no matter where he goes. I still don't get it. I don't get a lot of things however. I've never seen so much hype for someone who has produced so little and showed so little promise as a player. I will say if anyone needs him it's Jacksonville though, they need to put some fannies in the seats pronto.
I easily see the hype. people love tebow the person and he was a great college player. as far as the NFL goes yes a lot of it is hype. why did people get so happy when romo first played for dallas? or jeremy lin for the knicks? they brought a spark to their teams and revived their franchise.... and it got crazy. people love to watch that stuff. having said that tebow has really proved little to being a starting qb in the league but he has shown flashes of ability like the pittsburgh game. at this point he should be a backup and work on his game to be ready just in case he becomes the starter. I don't see why people have a problem with him going to the Jets. He has to go somewhere and would be a backup in most cases regardless. Why not the jets? sanchez hasn't exactly proven himself yet(in spite of his contract). tebow is very popular and can be a serviceable backup in case sanchez gets hurt or benched for poor play. they (jets) obviously want him and tebow wants to be there so that's all that should count.

. How in the heck or why does he goto the Jets. ABout as dumb if Manning went to the Broncos.

Largest media market in the United States. He can make 10x the money in NYC vs Jacksonville through endorsements. If you thought Tebowmania was crazy before just wait until the NYC media gets a hold of him, plus it's a lot closer to ESPN. Even though the Jets may be a little better than the Jags this year this has to be mostly a business decision.

The mania is because reality doesn't matter in the media anymore. It's all about perception and spin. It really is telling of our broken down society. They don't sell news, they sell hype. Which is a stupid thing to do, because hype isn't news, and so they're just giving people a reason not to buy their crap, because they aren't selling them anything real.

At least a tabloid is serving it's purpose. Nothing wrong with tabloids. But it's wrong that our news ARE tabloids, yet misrepresent themselves as news.

Gotta love that, 'no ring circus'...ROFL.


They were saying that spagnola(sp) is now with the Jets so they expect him to use Tebow in the wildcat. Wasn't it spagnola that started the craze? If so, it makes sense for Tebow to go there.

But man on man did Manning just about cause half the starting QB's in this league to be scared potty-less the last couple of weeks. So many QB's have been slapped in the face by the whole process its just downright amazing.

Tim Tebow is not an NFL caliber QB and he never will be.

I guess the Broncos figured that in order to win a Super Bowl they would have to sacrifice a virgin.

so many haters, for no reason. Its ok if you hate his religion or him personally but the guy wins football games. All these "shouldnt be a quarterback in this league" claims holds zero water.

He's not an NFL calibre PASSER, but he plays the QB just fine as a runner.

Sometime I think an NFL team would collect several QBs that can the run ball well with some some basic passing skills and primarily go to a spread offense.

Matt Prater wins football games. Even Jesus prays to Matt Prater....

Most annoying player. I liked it when he was just a regular QB at Florida and Jeremy Lin was at Harvard. The Jets didn't need him.

I would like to see Tebow in Arizona, playing right beside CC and DD at OLB.

Can you imagine a front page like that in Phoenix? A real illustration of how laid back the media is when it comes to the Cardinals. They might print one one or two negative articles a year along with a couple of negative columns from Bickley and that's it.

The Headline if Tim were traded to Arizona would be something tame like:

"Bill Bidwill gets new Tebowtie"

Oh yeah, and their sports department is their most critical portion of the paper. Also the sports page (on a Tuesday) shouldn't be bigger than the job ads (on a Sunday).

They don't call it the rag for no reason.

It is sad, Bickley isn't even very good at critical thinking, but he's the best we got.

Some other possible headlines would be....
"Tebow Time"
"Wildcat in Phoenix"
"Broncos Passer (lol) traded to Cards"

In a League that favors passers, he completed no more than 10 passes in a game last year.

I think that backs up the claim that he shouldn't be a QB in this league. Every team that gets a second crack at him stifles his gimmick.
