GOD apparently has better things in store for Tim Tebow than to warm a bench for the Sodom City Jets.
I'm a big Tebow fan but a very good argument can be made that cutting him was purely a football decision.
Look out Tim, God has chosen you which means a lot of unwavering suffering for you, I am sorry. God does not plan for us to enjoy our lives. I am mad about it, but fat lot of good that does
Tim Tebow is out and Mark Sanchez will be out in the not too distant future. Geno Smith will be the back up until he is ready to start. Once he starts, Sanchez will be the back up or will be cut.
No one should put this in a “good v. evil” context. It’s just football and like life in general, it can be brutally cold.
Sports is crap. Drugs, gays, betting, and worthless rules have killed the sport. Stop watching it. Turn it off and let is die.
I thought they had already cut him months ago. I guess I haven’t been paying close enough attention. Anyone could have seen this coming. I believe the following is what happened, but Jets fans can correct me if I’m wrong. They brought him in last year, and they started with Sanchez. Sanchez didn’t play well, but they were still relunctant to put Tebow in. They finally put him in, and he didn’t play very well, but they didn’t give him the time they gave to Sanchez. They ended up going with Sanchez again. Rumors abounded that Tebow would be done with the Jets at the end of the season. That’s why I assumed they would cut him.
Tebow is put under a tighter microscope because he is outspoken about his Christian faith. There are those who would love to see him fail. I do hope a team picks him up and gives him a chance to play backup. He is mobile and athletic. Is it possible a team could use him as a RB if the QB spot doesn’t work?
This was NOT simply the cutting of a lesser player.
This was an active effort to diminish his light and his opportunity to shine in the NFL.
The Jets could have let him go, or traded him long ago, but wanted to limit his future opportunities and the attention focused on him.
If football is still in his blood but he can't find another NFL team, a Canadian team should be able to make room on a roster. Things sure went well for Doug Flutie in Canada.
They cut everyone except Rex.
email the team and tell them we are on to their methods
You people are lunatics.
Tim Tebow sucks. Hard. He’s a terrible, terrible NFL quarterback. Period.
NFL teams don’t give a crap about his “outspoken Christianity.” Do you ever watch football? Murderer Ray Lewis is an “outspoken Christian.” EVErYONE is an outspoken Christian in the NFL.
They cut him because he’s useless to them. They manner in which he was cut was simply due to the the fact that they wanted to wait until after the draft and because no one would ever trade anything or anyone for him.
It’s very simple, really.
Pittsburgh beckons!
Go North, Young Man.
Tebow’s skills seem particularly well-suited to the CFL game IMO. That would not only give him the chance to spread the Gospel in the Great White North, but if he wins a couple of Grey Cups it may re-open some NFL eyes, a la Doug Flutie.
I’m surprised Tebow didn’t end up in Jacksonville. He has a lot of support down there and the hometown guy.
I’m not so willing to concede, as some here on this thread have, that Tebow “sucks” as a QB. He led the Broncos out of the cellar into the playoffs and actually won a game against an opponent (Steelers) most thought would win handily. In that partial season, Tebow threw for 12 TDs with only 6 INTs.
Is Tebow the second coming of Aaron Rogers or Tom Brady? Likely not... but to contend that he’s “awful,” or “sucks” is just as off-base. With some good coaching to tighten up the techniques, he’ll be a decent backup in the NFL or starter in the CFL.
wow, it must suck to get bumped for Geno Smith, lol.
imagine the poor guys who got cut by oakland to make way for JaMarcus Russell.
I’ve heard of hockey players being traded for equipment, but at least that’s useful.
Do your job and don't be a distraction.
Unfortunately, I think Tebow is going to be a career backup. Many top college QB's - especially running first QB's - can't make the big jump. Other's take years to reach their prime (Rich Gannon, Randall Cunningham).
Yeah it couldn’t have anything at all to him being a really sucky NFL QB...............................
