Yes this is a college football city/area. But that's why the jags need him.
Interesting you mean the Tebow Kooks, or just his family here lol! I use Times Useless all the time too, we agree on that for sure lol! I understand your points bro. Logically from a football standpoint it makes zero sense, from a ticket perspective somewhat better sense. But perhaps less so, then 2 years ago when he was drafted. It's debatable in my opinion.

Why can't Tebow stay in Denver and back up Peyton for a few years? No room under the cap? If they could make it work, it would be the smartest decision Tebow could make. Why not take the opportunity to learn from a sure 1st ballot HOFer?

Besides, after God knows how many neck surgeries, one stiff breeze blowing the wrong way and Peyton could be flat on his back in the blink of an eye.

I dont see how Tebow could QB in the offensive system that will be designed for Manning.

Manning is the master of the hurry up/no huddle and that seems to be the way Tebow plays his best too, no?

Manning calls the shots based on what the defense is doing, stays in the pocket and gets rid of the ball faster than anyone in the NFL while maintaining his accuracy. Tebow holds the ball longer than anyone in the NFL, is best outside of the pocket running around and is also one of the least accurate QB's.

This is the perfect scenario for Denver. Manning makes them better, takes some of the pressure off of the defense and this allows Elway an easy way to ease Tebow out. Despite Tebow/Denvers late season run I think that NFL Defensive coordinators will figure out how to completely stop that semi-wildcat offense they were running just like they figured out how to defense the wildcat into extinction. Tebow may get better at traditional QB stuff but you arent winning big in the 2012 version of the NFL running the option most of the time.

Elway is doubly relieved. He gets a hall of fame QB, and doesn't have to bench Tebow. The fans will let him off the hook for getting rid of Tebow, bettering the franchise in both the short term and long run.

Nobody can, not a starter in the league can do things the way he does/needs to.

I mentioned to Golfer on Monday that I thought the Jets should go after Tebow.

The Jets miss what Brad Smith did for them. They didn't run it enough, but when he ran the wildcat, it was effective. Sparano has plenty of experience with the wildcat.

I think the other stuff figures itself out.

They got him. Just traded for a 4th round pick.

If Tebow goes to the Jets or Packers then he pretty much is admitting to himself that he is not going to be a starting NFL QB. I think he is way to young to admit this to himself at this point especially with the wins he put up last year.

And he gets traded to the Jets while I am submitting the above post... Like omitting 1 horse from a P4 leg and losing

I think it's being honest with himself.

I have always said I think Tebow is a very good football player. I don't think he's a starting NFL QB, but he can absolutely be effective if used the right way.

I think it's a win/win for both Tebow and the Jets. They didn't give up much for him and he should be motivated enough to make the best of this situation.
