The Tebow Train Wreck
By: David Rabinowe

I like Tim Tebow. Rooted for him in college. But for the Jets this makes no Football sense. Here is why:

1. In professional Football, If you have 2 quarterbacks, you don't have any.
2. Tebow is a better leader then Mark Sanchez, but not a better quarterback. You can't lead from the bench. Thats a rescipe for disaster.
3. Sanchez lost the locker room last year, without Tebow and his minions breathing down his neck
4. If you guarantee the backup quarterback reps in a game, you have to give him reps in practice, that takes away from developing your young starter. If you don't play Tebow more then a couple of gadget plays a game, then the cost (a 4th round pick, swap of a 6th and 7th and 2.5 million dollars), for a player who will only see the field a handful of times each week is prohibitive.
5. The Jets gave 50 million dollars to a disgruntled wide receiver, and now want to go to an offense that features ground and pound and the wildcat. Not a smart mix.
6. Would you like driving past billboards touting your backup on your way to work every day? The Jets are going to sell Tebow. That kills any confidence Sanchez has.
7. Tebow wants to be the starter. He believes he can win the job. He won't settle for the backup role, nor should he.
8. The Jets have no real plan. They signed a backup a week before Tebow became available. Traded him a week later to the Colts. Without a plan in the NFL you can't win.
9. The games new rules cater to the passing game. The Jets are going to try to run two offenses, one for Sanchez and one for Tebow, neither of which take into account the direction of the league.
10. This move is not about winning football games, its about selling tickets. In NY Without the Winning the tickets don't sell. Want proof? Ask the Mets.
