Tim Tebow Traded to the Jets. Then maybe Jaguars? Nope Jets it is.

It didn’t take long for the Denver Broncos to ship Tim Tebow out of town. The New York Jets have reportedly acquired Tebow for a 4th round pick. The Jets will likely utilize Tebow to both push starter Mark Sanchez, who just got a large contract extension, and in special packages.

The thought of Tebow entering the largest media market and being combined with Rex Ryan is about the worst case scenario that could ever have been imagined.

(Update) And now comes news that there may be a snag in the deal relating to a clause in Tebow’s contract, which the Jets apparently didn’t bother to read until after agreeing to the deal. If the trade is ultimately nullified it’s reported that he may instead go to the Rams or the Jaguars could get back in the mix.

(Update #2) Tebow is apparently now being given the opportunity to choose his destination – Jets or Jaguars. Who other than Tebow would possibly ever find themselves in this situation? It would seem likely then that he would want to go back to Florida.

(Update #3) The trade to the Jets is actually going to happen. Seemingly now official. This probably not by Tebow’s choice but the best deal for the Denver organization.

I think Tim will do fine personally. He is about as strong mentally as they come and will be the hardest working guy on that team. Jets needed to get someone to push Sanchez who is a mental midget IMO. It would not surprise me AT ALL if TT beats out Sanchez in camp or at some point in 2012 season. He has a huge chip on his shoulder now and the guy doesn’t need any more motivation than he has now. I am very interested to see how this all plays out. If anything, TT will be a great locker room presence and good influence on those guys who had major issues last yr internally. Not too mention Sanchez played pretty poorly and was not an effective leader for them. Tebow-Haters will come, but the guy has proven he can play in the NFL.

  How will Tebow deal with Rex Ryan’s style though? He’d hear “lets go eat some fucking snacks” and pass out.

As a Jets fan, this news excites the hell out of me.

Even if he busts in New York around Rex Ryan, the NY Media and the interesting cast of characters around here (the same magical combination that I believe is stunting the growth of Sanchez), he only cost us a 4th round pick.

If that’s the worst case scenario for the Jets in this situation, I’ll take the chance for some Tebow magic for a 4th round pick.

“is about the worst case scenario that could ever have been imagined.”

Probably about the worst case of hyperbole that could ever be imagined, lol.

For what it’s worth……..
After importing my NCAA draft classes through the first 4+ seasons of Madden……..
Tebow was released and signed by the Jets,
Manning was still on the Colts, but the #1 overall draft pick of the 2013 Broncos was…..
Andrew Luck.
That’s probably the closest Madden team algorithms have come to replicating real events.

not a bad fit. he will be in the wildcat and provide power running plays with one to 2 passes a game

Jags may get him since a problem in Jets deal.

This is what frustrates me about the madden franchise!!! why don’t they have a rosters share and a teambuilder…if they don’t want to add historic teams to their game then atleast let the football video game community update rosters and create old school teams it would atleast add some replay value …2k share and ncaa football is a great thing because of those features

LOL everyone thinking Tebow will push sanchez…haha wow first lets watch tebow complete 6 passes in a row, and then start to mention him in the same sentence as sanchez. He was brought there purely for revenue for the franchise. He will put butts in the seats and thats it.

First off, you are absolutely right as to the mindset of the JETS in making this trade. He is definitely going to be a player that doesn’t pose an immediate threat to Sanchez’s job, but will be looming in the background to keep Sanchez focused.

Secondly, as a die hard JET fan, we took a hit offensively when we lost Brad Smith to the Bills. Smith ran all out Wild Cat packages. Tebow will be a huge improvement in those packages due to his size when compared with Smith and his similar quicks. Add in that Tebow is a better QB than Smith was and that will make the JETS much more potent and also add more options to the Wild Cat.

I also cant help thinking that if the Jets didn’t go after him that some how Bellichick would have found a way to get him. Call it my JET/PATRIOT paranoia but thats just how I see it.

The Jets had yet to make any sort of splash this off season and you can’t deny that this is definitely a splash. I really cant see this as a bad trade at all. Considering who our backup QB’s are at the moment, this was a damn good move.

This is not going to work. The characters that’s in the locker room plus the fan base of New York alone will make this situation a problem
