Jets Holding Tebow Hostage

[ASUMountaineer]

Do you always take your ball and run home?

Maybe you didn't understand it the first time. I'll write it differently. You aren't going to convince me that Tebow should not have started. I watched most of the Jets games this year and listened to what was going on behind the scenes. So, it's time to move on.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm calling you out for making a ridiculous statement that the Jets have a personal vendetta against Tebow.

[ASUMountaineer]

C'mon man. This is the NFL, not little league. Tebow had his chance--in practice. You only get to start if you've earned the right to start.

Wrong.

If that were the case, Kaepernick would have never started a game this year (other than the period when Smith was injured) because he didn't win the job in training camp.

try again. You're not an NFL coach, so I will trust Harbaugh.

The New York Jets problems run much deeper than Mark Sanchez’s complete lack of ability to play the quarterback position. In fact, they go all the way up to the top, and many of the controversial offseason decisions are still hurting this team heading into Week 16.

None of these issues is more toxic than coach Rex Ryan’s decision to start Greg McElroy—the third-string QB—over Tim Tebow, Sanchez’s backup for nearly all of the 2012 campaign.

It’s a calculated move by Ryan that isn’t just a personal attack on Tebow, but a disgusting attempt to save his job and keep his credibility intact.

With only two games left to close out the Jets' meaningless season, it’s become clear that Ryan has a vendetta against Tebow and has done everything in his power to hinder his chances to succeed in the Big Apple.


While McElroy is certainly a better option than Sanchez, Tebow has earned the right to finish the season as a starter.

While you may think it’s no big deal for the second-string QB to just have a chance to shine in the last two games, Ryan seems to think the opposite and actually fears his success.

If Tebow were to slap together back-to-back performances of the average to above-average variety, it would make the coach look like even more of a buffoon than he already does for his “fatal attraction” (to borrow Dan Leberfeld’s words) to Sanchez.

After back-to-back miserable seasons with no playoff appearance, Ryan is shamelessly auditioning to keep his gig, while neglecting to give Tebow a chance to do the same.

Should McElroy succeed, Ryan can claim he groomed the QB of the future in-house; if he fails, then it's no sweat off anyone's back. The former Alabama signal-caller was a seventh-round draft pick.

Ryan's on-the-record explanation is far less calculating and doesn't actually say much of anything, according to a report by Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News:

“I want to put Greg out there,” Ryan said on Tuesday. “I’m going to put Greg out there. In my opinion, that’s what’s best for our team.”

For reasons unknown, McElroy was somehow able to leapfrog the former Florida standout on the Jets’ depth chart and will get the nod against San Diego and Buffalo—two relatively soft opponents.

Hopefully, Gang Green will honor any requests that Tebow makes from here on out, whether it is to be traded or released come the offseason. He worked his tail off to become the “backup” QB and wore a number of different hats for the team at any given time.

His commitment and hard work were answered with nothing but disrespect from his superiors. Tebow didn’t ask to join the Jets this past offseason, and he didn’t warrant the treatment he received during his time in New York.

We sincerely hope the young, talented QB winds up in a much better situation in his next NFL stop. He deserves a legitimate chance to compete for a starting job—or at least a true backup position—when he gets there.

Congrats. You found a guy on bleacherreport who agrees with you. Must be true since you found it on the internet.

For a guy who doesn't want to beat a dead horse, you sure do post a lot.

Mr. ASU is the one who keeps coming back. I tried to end it, but he keeps bringing it back up. There will be no more replies from me on the specific topic of Rex's vendetta against Tebow.

Damn right!

[SuperHornet]

Wrong.

That's where you're wrong. Harbaugh certainly ain't old school. With an old school coach, barring catastrophic injury (or a completely sucky team), Kaepernick wouldn't have even sniffed the field until his fourth or fifth season.

I was friends with a guy in college who wrote for BR...he may have been the most sports ignorant person I know, and was drunk 95% of college....but managed to get his articles all over BR for about a 2 year span

Hmm...an opinion piece from Bleacher Report.

It was a clever ploy to get the last word. Amirite?

I didn't say I was done with it.

Actually, SH, you're the one that is wrong.

FACT: Harbaugh is an NFL HC.
FACT: You are not.

Who ever said anything about being an "old school" coach? What on earth are you talking about? Harbaugh just coached in the Super Bowl, and you're on CS.com criticizing him. Get a clue. I'll stick with Harbaugh's decisions regarding QB's over yours.
