NY Jet teammates rip backup Tim Tebow, believe 'terrible' quarterback hasn't improved

You don’t know much about the NFL do you?

There are tons of Christians and born-again Christians who are quite open about it in all sports, including the NFL. They are not discriminated against.

Why don’t you learn something and google “Fellowship of Christian athletes”.

The paranoid-ness of this site is unbelievable.

Why don’t you look at my post again? I was specifically speaking of his teammates, not of the NFL in general, and I DO believe part of it is that he makes his teammates uncomfortable with his open confession that Jesus Christ is Lord. It’s their problem, not his, but it DOES color their perception of him. The NBA is much worse, IMHO.

Hey,the Jets are the arch-enemies of the Patriots so I have no love for them but...with the way the Jets are going with Sanchez what’s the worst that can happen if Tebow takes the snaps for the rest of the season? I guess they could lose!

[Joe Boucher]

Yeah,
Tebow is bad?
It’s Mark Sanchez that’s tops right?
Ok!!

The same “experts” said Drew Brees wasn’t NFL quality when he was at San Diego.

[Political Junkie Too]

If the NYC MSM is any indication, the residents of New York would rather let something fail than let an opposing point of view publicly succeed.

They don't want to give Tebow the chance to look good, so they'd rather kill the Jets instead.

I don't get why Tebow is even the issue. Why is this a story? So what if an unnamed player said Tebow is horrible? Maybe he is - does that account for the Jets lousy record?

I don't recall any football experts who said, when Tebow went to the NYJ, that he was the answer as starting QB. I don't know of any football experts who would seriously claim that he's the reason for their failure. Yet this makes up the essence of the Jets/Tebow stories: "Yeah, the Jets stink...And that Tebow is REAALLLY BAD, so they'd really suck if they gave him serious playing time!" Why go out of your way to take a potshot at a guy who's had little or nothing to do with the team's record?

Sanchez really sucks this year and Ryan has completely misutilized Tebow. Good luck with that.

[old school]

Uh...I believe the NY Jets are a “terrible” team and haven’t improved! Who are they kidding?

[nikos1121]

Those quarterbacks were great...but at five years they we reaching their stride....tebow needs a shot....I wish the bears had him....

[Fledermaus]

Yeah, like the rest of the Jets are sooooooo goooooood!

The jets gave Sanchez $50 million at the end of last year. Instead of ripping Tebow maybe these losers should rip management, Sanchez and themselves. Tebow might not be pretty but at least he wins. Sanchez isn't pretty and he loses too.

Sports has become much more of a soap opera than it used to be. Tebow has been a leading subplot for the better part of two years and that worked to his advantage last year and his working against him this year. This year, he would be better off if his name were something like Slauson. It’s like they said when Ted Kennedy was first running for congress (or was it the senate) ”If his name were Edward Moore he’d have no chance”.
