Nfl Free Agency

[Cannon Shell]

If a player with Tebow's skill set only was going to the Jets it would makes some sense from an on the field angle. But because of the circus that surrounds Tebow and the fairly shaky ground that the incumbent QB is on it is an unusual move. Fair or not the outcry will be huge if Sanchez has a few poor games or gets hurt and Tebow plays well in his absence. Of course in NY everything is magnified and QB controversies are a part of life but the name Tebow makes things that much crazier.

Of course neither Sanchez or Tebow is a David Garrard...

I think Tebow will take 10 to 15 snaps a game at the QB position. Probably will throw 2 to 3 passes a game VS 8-to-12 running plays. For some plays, he will be on the field together with Sanchez.

At the NFL combine, Rex Ryan kept telling the NFL Network analysts that he wanted to be the runaway league leader in rushing attempts next season. I know this because I DVR Path to the Draft everyday

I doubt things like " outside distractions" and "media circus" or Sanchez's feelings mean anything at all to Rex Ryan. That's all BS anyway to someone like Ryan...and he shows his disdain for it by how he conducts himself and the type of players he has gone after.

Lol, Rex Ryan seemingly puts media distractions ahead of everything else at times. If you don't think that the NY media has a huge influence both positive and negative on the sports teams there you haven't been paying attention. Especially for the team that missed the playoffs last year and plays in the same stadium with the team that just won the Super Bowl. Who cares what Rex Ryan thinks, the players read papers, have agents and friends and family that will make them accutely aware of what is being said. When the fans start chanting "we want tebow" after Sanchez throws a bad pick, think that a guy with a 78 lifetime QB rating isnt going to be affected? Perhaps they figure that Tebow will actually deflect a lot of the media attention away from the other issues but that can backfire as well.

The wildcat doesnt work anymore except for perhaps a play or two a game. Lets not forget that most of Tebow's 4th quarter rallies were after 3 ineffective quarters of stagnant offense. The hardest part of being the runaway leader in rushing attempts is having 2 QB's that the defenses dont consider much of a passing threat.

I dont think Sanchez is anymore than an mediocre NFL QB (outside of the top 7 or 8 guys who isnt?) and putting the most popular player in the game behind him on the depth chart just seems like a potentially bad idea especially when that same back up isnt really a better option. Sure if they get off to a 5-0 start it wont matter a damn bit but this could be the move that could be the end of the current team front office and coach if it backfires.
