Why?
Well they did it. The Jets acquired Tim Tebow from the Broncos for a 4th and 6th round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Jets also received a 7th round pick in return. Since the news came down I’ve been trying to find the positives but it’s been hard to do.
The Jets already have a circus like atmosphere hanging around the team from last season and bringing in Tebowmania is going to add to it. From a football standpoint, the move makes no sense. We basically have a fourth quarterback on the roster when we really need another safety, offensive line help and pass rushers. You’re putting more pressure on Mark Sanchez to work out because once he has a bad game fans are going to be calling for Tebow to play. Everyone knows the media in New York blows everything out of proportion and not we have the biggest story in the NFL coming over.
I hate that the Jets always seem to trade away their draft picks. This team has depth issues everywhere but yet we seem to trade draft picks like they are meaningless. How many plays is Tebow even going to be involved in? Is he going to run the wildcat five or six times a game? I would have traded him for a fifth round pick or higher but to give up two doesn’t make any sense for a guy who is barely going to play.
If you thought Santonio Holmes was miserable last season just wait until Tebow underthrows him by 10 yards. This is just a disaster waiting to happen. It really smells like the Jets did it to get attention in a city where the other team just won the Super Bowl. My only hope is they somehow turn around and trade him to Jacksonville or some other team that really needs a quarterback.
I hope I’m proven wrong but I don’t see any good out of this trade.
