Im not quite sure I can recall an instance where a potential impact player was benched purely out of spite to a GM.
Im a Rex Ryan fan but holy cow theres simply no words to backup what he did to the QB position this year. Its been a year long pissing match and when neither the coach or GM are doing things in the best interest of the team youre going to have major problems.
And the LAST thing the Jets need is Michael Vick. Dude is OVA.Comment

I've said repeatedly that I don't think he's a long term option as starter. My stance all along is that he's a change of pace/specialty player/backup.
I don't understand this point you keep making that Tebow has to learn other positions to justify a roster spot. First of all, he has learned other positions. Secondly, what other backup QB's learn other positions to justify a roster spot? You say Tebow has to do more to justify having him, but there isn't another backup QB in the league who doesn anything other than wear a backwards hat and stand next to the coach.
Tebow, when utilized properly, is the most useful backup QB in the league, because he can play in specialized situations.
As far as him lining up at other positions besides QB. I don't see him doing much of that. Not enough to justify a roster spot. My opinion is he needs to bet better at QB or better at other positions before I would want him on my roster. I don't want him as a backup QB. I'd rather have someone that could develop into a real QB if I have a vet starter, or a vet backup if I have a young starter. Plus another project QB on the practice squad. Why would I want to use a QB roster spot on a guy that isn't very good at the QB position and doesn't seem to want to get any better at the position. So far, I've seen him line up as a specialty running QB and a punt protector. I haven't seem him line up much at H-Back, FB or TE. According to Glen, it's not possible for Tebow to learn any of those positions, except I think glens a trollin.Comment

The mismatch comes from Tebow lining up at QB in the gun and the D having to account for the position.
And you really think Brady is going to freak out over missing out on a few first and goal opportunities, especially if it works?
If he's half the leader Pats fans think he is he'd be for anything that made the team more effective and as I just pointed out Tim Tebow is possibly one of the most effective red zone QBs in the NFL.

I'd look for Buffalo to snatch up Tebow seeing how they have the guy who created the Wildcat offense on their coaching staff. He's a better option for it than Brad Smith is.Comment

I didn't say its not possible.. just laughable how some of you think its going to be easy for Tebow to beat out NFL caliber FBs (for the few teams that even carry a real one anymore) or TEs just because he's big and can run.

Idk why everyone hates on Tebow. His team made the playoffs, he won a playoff game. Only the scrubbiest of scrub backups can dream of that. Tebow deserves a chance somewhere. If it doesn't work out so be it, but I think he would be in the top of the middle of the road QBs just bc he does a good job protecting the ball and not making awful decisions. I don't think you would win a SB with him but he would def make his team a contender from time to time.Comment

An H back who has no experience blocking or catching the football? Why not just line up a Tim Tebow fathead out there? The defense would have to pay just as much attention to it.

And yes I do think Tom Brady would not be a happy camper if they are taking him out of the game. He never wants to leave the field. Ever. He is one of the most competitive players in the league and one of the best QB's of all time, there is no way he thinks Tebow is better than him in any situation. And he's right.
Why do you need Tebow anyway? For 4th and 1 conversions? Do you really think lining up Tebow in a full house or wildcat formation and having him charge at the LOS is more efficient than doing it with Ridley just cuz he has the threat of the jump pass?
Tebow deserves to get a shot as a starter. He shouldn't be designated in some bullshit special role where he comes in for 1 yard maybe 20 times a year or whatever.Comment

What makes you think Tebow wants to be designated goalline guy or inside the 5 guy for another decade?

And I've gone over the various things you can do with Tebow in the RZ beyond just "charging the LOS" enough times that I don't feel like doing it anymore. Read above if you want to know.
Why do you want him? Maybe because of the stat I posted where his team scored a TD on more than a quarter of his red zone snaps before he got to that terribly run Jets scheme..
Don't know why you keep bringing up 4th down since I haven't mentioned it once, I think he'd be more effective on first and second and goal rather than fourth and short personally.
And like I said about Brady before... if the Tebow thing worked and he bitches about it then that's on him for not being a team guy. If it's not working then the Pats probably wouldn't stick with it anyway so he has nothing to worry about.

If you think this guy wants to give up anything, then you don't know what you're talking about. Taking Brady off the field will not make us better.Comment

Absolutely. Tom Brady is a 36 year old statue that's won enough to be a 1st ballot HOF. Yet when his team needs a play and there's no pass to be made, he'll break from his stone form and run for 10 yards, juking top end line backers like Urlacher to get that 1st down. His compete level is legendary. Everyone's about Tebow's "magic way to make his team win"...yet somehow when Brady makes those plays and gets up to fire up his team, he's not doing the same fucking thing? And has done so for a decade?

Just a scenario that I think would work for Tebow and like I've said countless times the Pats worked out Tebow when Brady was on the roster and even younger so obviously BB saw some way he could use the kid, as did the current Pats OC.
