Maybe this will help soothe all those who cry about all dem filthy Messicans taking hard working American's jobs.

Apparently Tebow hasn't been introduced because the trade did not go through due to a technicality in his contract. Is this the $5million thing again, or something else???

Bring in the clowns!
da-da-dada-da-da, da-da-dada-da-da

Tebow's advisors should have made a public stink and forced the Broncos hand about trading him somewhere more favorable.

Ari Fleisher was available

You know what would be the best??? If Tebow would not sign the re-written contract, the deal fell through and he somehow ended up an FA!!!

My favorite line of all the posts is this one, from PB: "...or send him to the Packers or Patriots or Saints where he would have gotten world class instruction."

It's been a little while since Packer fans could see the franchise described in this manner...back to Holmgren days.

Is that the ball boy?

"This" is a predictable media circus. Denver's front office and coaching staff were besieged into starting him at 1-4. There is simply a disconnect between this kind of fan reaction and a team that hired a broken down veteran QB at an astronomical price to allow them to escape having him as their starter. The Denver staff thought so much of his chances in 2011 that he was the 3rd string QB. It was a horrible situation for him and it is to his enormous credit he made hay in the middle of this tornado. But so persuaded by that playoff caliber performance were the Broncos that they bought a Manning lottery ticket.

There is no question Denver wanted no part of him as Fox and Elway did not sign up for a franchise running that offense. Once McDaniels was gone, Tebow's biggest supporter was out of the picture. McDaniels and Tebow may yet have the last laugh as no one knows whether Elway knows what he is doing and Fox's best years are well behind him. Denver's GM is far from proven as well.

On to the Jets: now we seem to be having an argument about next to nothing. Tebow wasn't hired just to be a backup. He will be their wildcat QB and 3rd down option if early stories out of the Jets are true. A backup would need to run the same offense as the starter, Tebow will have his own package. They should keep a third guy to backup Sanchez, but it would need to be a short term deal as Tebow's contract escalates in 13 and 14. The Jets offense looks like the Steelers with Slash Stewart (with Miller and Tomczak) before he took over as starter. Its a mess for a developing QB.

Just think about how you divide practice time between the two and you can imagine the trouble they will have.

The locker room issue is another argument for the Jet's dysfunction. The last guy who called out the team about that problem was summarily dismissed as a problem himself after the team claimed he exaggerated. Then Ryan confessed he was the problem. Now they are admitting there is a problem in the locker room. Which is it and does anyone have any confidence the Jets are in any position to solve it?

There was a report Tebow was offered a choice, but that doesn't mesh with objections the two destination spots had with accepting his contract payback to the Broncos. If the Broncos wanted to do Tebow a favor, he would either have gone to a team that wanted to run an spread offense for him or send him to the Packers or Patriots or Saints where he would have gotten world class instruction.

The Broncos were not willing to commit to Tebow. And the Jets might well be unable to. Tebow's advisors should have made a public stink and forced the Broncos hand about trading him somewhere more favorable.

Nice long post and very interesting pbmax. Thanks for the effort.

NO! NO! Not another Tebow press conference!! His first as a Jet...

What's that right-wing religious kook going to say this time? (Oh yeah, he sucks as a football player too. That's why they pay him a lot of money.)

He starts, "First and foremost...." Oh, here it comes, 'my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, blah,blah,blah.' Why can't the NFL shut this guy up? Why does this guy have to be a good person AND actually take his faith seriously? Why can't he be a hypocrite like most of us? It's SO offensive!

Oh well, here comes the psycho babble, "...I want to thank the Broncos for my time in Denver..."

What? No reference to Jesus Christ??!! Tim Tebow HAS TO mention Jesus Christ at the start of EVERY press conference!! It's part of the deal that he made with Satan. That's what every insincere, fake-outraged, Christophobic writer and sports fan told me.

Oh no, now I don't know what to believe! Should I take my poster of Tebow on the Cross off my wall?

Tebow's been such a bad boy. He's going to get points taken away from him in Sunday School this week. He'll have to visit with three dying cancer patients tomorrow to make up for this omission.

Oh, the confusion!, the confusion!

Why can't life be easy and just follow along with the sterotypes? Why must people have to think for themselves and make their own value judgments rather than listening to the fears and ill-informed opinions of the ignorant?

Com'on, Tim, give me some hope again!! Can you at least pray in tongues a little while on camera?

I would be more worried, if I was a Jet fan, that the presumptive backup QB is having a press conference at all. Tebow said it was the team's idea and he had to do what his bosses asked.

The circus has come to town.

Does anyone have any clear idea how the Jets were chosen yet? Tebow's camp claimed last week that they had no choice, but he seemed to back off this in the press conference. The Broncos said he was given a choice as did the Jags (and they announced he choose not to go there). But in his remarks, he said the Bronco's had a list of teams who offered similar terms and asked him what he thought.

“They said ‘We have a few teams that are interested, similar deals,’ and he was very gracious to ask me what I thought,” Tebow said Monday of his conversations with the Broncos last week. “I told him I would love to be a Jet, and I told him that, also, the Jaguars are my hometown and whatever was best for them. He said the same for me. Ultimately they had my contract, they had all the power, but he listened to me and what I had to say. It was very gracious of them because they didn’t have to do that. They could have just done whatever but he listened to me and talked to me and I told him I would love to be a Jet.”

So they handed him a list of teams offering acceptable terms and asked him what he thought? Does anyone else read it that way? Or did he mention the Jags without actually saying he was OK with being traded there?

[Freak Out]

Wait....a Muslim owns the Jags right...? Tebow would never work for a Muslim. Holy War! Wait a sec.....is the guy a Hindu? Polytheism is just as bad.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I loved the "excited" counter from the press conference ESPN showed last night. 43 times he said he was excited to be with the Jets.

I have a question. Who is Tim Tebow's agent? Can't we get the story straight from him? Based on the press conference, it sure sounded like TT would have been thrilled to end up in Jacksonville.
