The Tim Tebow era is over in New York.
The Jets have released Tebow, the New York Post is reporting.
Tebow was widely expected to be on the way out for months, and the only surprise is that the Jets waited until now to do it. The arrival of rookie quarterback Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL draft may have been what it took for the Jets to decide that there was simply no room for Tebow on the roster anymor

When the team won (always against mediocre opponents) it was due to the unfamiliarity of Tebow's style - when they finished 1-4 it was because Tebow's style was no longer unfamiliar.
I’m from Philly so I’m a long-suffering Eagles fan. The last couple years that McNabb was there, he began to suck and then he really sucked. But those of us (read: All the actual fans who actually watched all the games) who suggested his time had come and gone were labeled racists and other things.
No. In the NFL it doesn’t matter a whit - though I do have problems with murderers on the Ravens getting hero sendoffs - it’s how you play on the field. Period.

Murderers? Plural?
Please name them.
Don’t know why you won’t just say the name. Ray Lewis. See, how hard was that? Ray Lewis. Easier each time.
You haven’t actually read a sentence of the trial’s transcript, have you? Everything you know about the case you got from the MSM. Hilarious.
Thank you for being a voice of sanity on this thread. A few lucky flings and some people were planning their future trips to Canton to witness Tebow’s Hall Of Fame induction. Yes, I understand he was a great college QB, but so was Ryan Leaf.
Somebody should have clued in the Steelers to Tebow's style.
Manning started out 2-3 the following year.
The bottom line is Tebow had a very good season.
The last 5 games included a big win against the Steelers and two losses to a very good Patriots team.
Manning started out 2-3 the following year.
Geno Smith is a decent sandlot QB
Hopefully Tebow will change to another position and get picked up by another team. He was not the greatest Quarterback but many other quarterbacks switched to another position and did fine. Don’t be stubborn Tim!
Sports also expect results which Tebow failed. He did nothing to help the Jets.
It was clear from Day 1 that Tebow wasn’t going to be given any chance
BS! He played and sucked!!! Sorry but football is a business. Why you want to have football turn into charity cases is beyond me. Conservatives wake the heck up! He did not do well and that is why he was cut. Sanchez would be have been cut too if they did not have a contract on him. Sanchez will not be resigned!
Tebow has made it clear that teams take him as a QB or don't take him at all.
The coaching staff didn't want him and never intended to use him. He was #2 on the depth chart only to please management and to make them not look like total fools for signing him. But he wasn't going to be given the chance to prove the coaches right or wrong.
I'm not saying what Tebow would have done with such a chance. I'm just saying that the Jets' front office and coaching staffs were not on the same page -- at all -- with regards to Tebow. Of course, given that the coaching, QB, and offensive line situations were a total disaster, I think we can accept SNAFU as the normal mode of operation for the Jets.
I was not talking about Tebow. Sports was a failure before Tebow. Maybe you need a 12 step to help you get over it.
Just wasted an hour of my life listening to the 1st hour of Mike and Mike this morning. They were going on and on and on about the gay NBA player. GOD I'm sooo sick of that crap.
Gotcha. You like to use the word murderer to describe things that aren’t.
we agree on Tebow.
It’s futile to point out Tebow’s shortcomings as an NFL qb to those who don’t listen, to those who prefer their own narrative over reality.
I know. Dwelling on that one playoff win. If that is the standard what would Vince Ferragamo’s and David Woodley’s Super Bowl runs be in comparison? Even Dieter Brock won a playoff game in his only NFL season, granted the Rams had Eric Dickerson in the backfield. A win is still a win, by logic.
Somebody should have clued in the Steelers to Tebow's style.
Then he would have finished 0-5 rather than 1-4.
Manning started out 2-3 the following year.
The bottom line is Tebow had a very good season.
Manning trended up, Tebow down.
