I disagree with Francessa. I think Tebow can work for the Jets. If Sanchez does in fact regress or stall he's not a bad guy to fill in
Francessa's a Jet hater so I'm not surprised by anything he says. Dude got into a shouting match with Revis on the air last season.
On paper it's a decent trade. 4th rounder for someone who can run the wildcat...
In reality, it's going to be a circus. The media frenzy last year was ridiculous and now it's in NY...for a guy who's a gimmick QB. Honestly it makes the Jets look like a joke, especially compared to the Giants.
Lin and Tebow within such a small geographical area... this won't end well. Perhaps we could get LeBron in the area as well? Lin, Tebow, LeBron and Crosby all within spitting distance of each other. Millions of sports writers ******* in their pants...
The jets had more than enough lockerroom problems last year. A possible QB controversy won't help. The circus just got a new attraction. But Rex just has to get those headlines.
The Jets can keep all the headlines as long as the Giants get them when they win Super Bowls.
This is a complete stunt by Woody Johnson because he can't stand that the Giants have the town's attention.
This also hurts Sanchez, whose psyche is already rattled. Every time he throws an incompletion or interception, he's going to have to look over his shoulder with Jets fans chanting for Tebow. He's gotta be pissed.
Sanchez, IMO, needs to be pressed. It'll help him wake up.
Page Six will get shots of Tebow and Lin going to church together. I can't wait when Bloomberg meets Tebow and he's dropping "Merry Christmas" bombs left and right
Jets games will now be held exclusively on Sundays at your local church. The body and blood of Christ will also be passed around for every touchdown. Praise be, Amen.
Sanchez, IMO, needs to be pressed. It'll help him wake up.
If he needs to be pressed there are much larger issues. It means he doesn't care. Flirting with Peyton, the Giants winning the Super Bowl and his own poor season should be enough motivation. This whole offseason has done nothing but send him mixed messages. This is a pure PR move that can and may have a negative effect on the team's most important player.

I'm just going off the comments of several Jets players who said part of the issues last season was that Sanchez had a huge ego and got away with murder since there was no threat to his job.
Yeah, its a huge PR move. But Sanchez might work a little extra knowing Tebow's success running the wildcat could easily translate to an eventual start.
I expected a bounceback season from Sanchez anyway, Tebow or no Tebow
I think Tebow will help the Jets win games on the field. Switching between Tebow & Sanchez will confuse defenses and the Jets will score more.
I don’t know how he will impact the locker room, but I have no reason to think it will be for the worse. If they win more, that is good for the locker room.
I think Sanchez needs to think less and just play. Sharing the spotlight with Tebow might allow him to grow without quite the level of pressure.
The trade is cheap in terms of cap space and what they gave up.
The guy who Fatcessa disregarded just now had a good point. If the Jets brought somebody in with Tim Tebow's skill set, but without the media publicity and cult-like following, it'd be considered a great move. It's someone Sparano can use in the Wildcat and adds to the creativity on offense. From what we saw last season, this team needed a spark on offense and some plays that would cause confusion for the defense. A Tebow-like player does that to an extent. He isn't a great thrower of the ball, but if teams don't see it coming, it can be effective at making windows larger. His threat to run makes him dangerous as well, along the goaline as well as anywhere on the field.
If Sanchez plays well, the whole Tebow being on the team will be an afterthought because he'd come in for his plays only and Sanchez would just show you when he comes back under center why Tebow is in for those plays only.
The only issue with this is because of who Tebow is. Without the hoopla around Tebow, I think it'd be a good move.
Tebow took over Denver, there's no reason to believe he won't be able to do the same ON THE FIELD in NY. He'll be all over the media for sure, but I bet fans will stay split on how much they like the guy in their locker room.
Sporano had a huge hand in this. This was a football move first. Miami had a lot of success with the wildcat. The Jets had it with Brad Smith, and when he left there was a void.
Tebow fan here. Happy he's a Jet just so I can see him play on TV. This is obviously just an attempt to light a fire under Sanchez's butt though. If he actually ends up taking over I'd be happily surprised.
The Jets just gave up two picks for a back-up fullback who will divide the locker room and force out Sanchez. Cannot believe how terrible that move was. Picking him up free? Sure. Trading a 4th round pick? Wtf?

If Tebow takes over, it means that Sanchez is an absolute and complete bust and that the Jets season will be summarily over. There is zero shot that Tebow takes over unless there is a complete and utter implosion.
Have you even watched either of Sanchez or Tebow play? Sanchez is head and shoulders a better quarterback. Tebow- I love the guy's character- is just an awful QB.
This is a terrible move for the Jets. You trade a 4th rounder plus $$ (since he makes a lot with 1st rd contract) for a guy who will only see the field a few plays, cause even more media coverage, more pressure on the team.
If wild cat is such an important, missing piece to the Jets offense, than you have much bigger problems. They obviously don't trust Sanchez as their starting QB to get the job done by himself. They SHOULD be looking for a long term replacement for Sanchez instead of what they have done.
Lets recap... The Jets 'pass' on Peyton, make Sanchez one of the highest paid QBs in the NFL, trade for Tebow.
It's either Tannenbaum is the worst GM in NFL history, or the Jets have a major Napoleonic complex.

It'll either be his worst or his best. I don't think that this ends in the middle. Either the Jets somehow win a Superbowl under this regime or they are all gone in three years.
Jets are a joke.
