Pardon the technical difficulties. Perhaps the fates too wish to hear nothing more of the Tebow situation. This post is a little bit about that, but also about the media portrayal of the situation. Here is what I know: Rex Ryan is not going to play Tebow as a QB. I have no idea why short of speculation and insider gossip. To hear it from the media, Tebow is a terrible thrower.
Tell me something I didn’t know before the trade.
Last week’s 11 sack debacle proved that the line has quit on the team. Nobody on O is holding on to their pride. It feels a lot like last year and a lot more like a coach who has lost control of his team. Heck, I have had it happen with 4-5 year olds, I can only imagine how much worse that is when dealing with grown male egos. Tebow’s ego is the least of the worries there, but it quickly became the focus of media attention–largely because of Ryan’s refusal to put the kid in. At the very least the situation represents a disconnect between the GM and the coach. I believe both are gone next year and the Jets would do well to get a solid veteran like Vick and draft someone they can develop over 2-3 years (and is willing to be developed). If you ask me, the coach and GM will be gone immediately after a loss and Rex will be running someone else’s D before the end of the week. Heck, he could easily wind up on the Patriots staff. Wouldn’t that be the very F-U?
