Merged - Tebow/Sanchez

[EKnight]

Didn't Rex announce Sanchez to start this weekend? -EK

[Cathal]

^^^ I believe he did. He did say that if he sucked it up again that he would "absolutely" be replaced, which is understandable.

[EKnight]

Yeah, 13 weeks in... bout 12 too late. -EK

Now that they're playing Jacksonville, it might actually make sense to start Tebow.  Here's my thinking.  The only other team that was interested in him was the Jags, but even their interest was "tepid", according to reports.  By playing Tebow, you sell a bunch of tickets to the game.  Perhaps it piques the interest of the Jags from purely a financial standpoint.  Then, maybe you can get a 5th round pick for him or something.  Otherwise, you're gonna end up cutting him anyway.

^^^ While anouncing Tebow will play will help Jax ticket sales, I don't see how that helps the Jets.

Nor do I see any reason for the Jets to trade/cut Tebow.  They didn't bring him in to replace Sanchez, they brought him in to replace Brad Smith.  He is doing a great job a special teamer.

It helps the Jets fleece JAX when they trade him there in the offseason.

Well he did miss that block that let Miami block a punt and score a TD. That offsets some of the other gimmick plays he did that kept a couple drives alive.

Rex won't start Tebow because no matter how bad "Career Year" Sanchez gets he is still better than that clown Tebow.

Bottom line is the Jets have the WORST QB situation in all of football. "Career Year" Sanchez sucks. Teblow is worse. And McElroy is lucky to be on an NFL roster.  You combine that with an idiot offensive coordinator and its a train wreck.

Tebow won't be back next year, take that to the bank. I don't care what Woody says, he's gone! Nobody will trade for him either, he will be flat out cut. They are stuck with "Career Year" Sanchez. They will probably try and sign a vet to come in and compete with Sanchez but the Jets have tied up so much money with him he is there guy going forward.

Sanchez just fumbled.  Jaguar ball

He's awful!

anyone else think the jets are gonna make the playoffs?  they're most likely going to win out and make it as the 2nd wildcard team.

and the AFC is awful this year and the jets can't possibly play any worse.  i really hope they make the playoffs because that'll ensure another year of sanchize/fat rex

there is no way this team wins out.

I agree.  Indy pretty much has a lock on the 5 seed and the 6 seed will go to the loser of the Baltimore-Pittsburgh division race.  No chance in hell for the Jets.  I would play McElroy the rest of the way and see what he can do.  Then get ready for the draft.

I think you should look at who the Jets close their schedule with before you say that. 

Titans - winnable game
Chargers - winnable game
Bills - winnable game

The Jets could very easily be sitting at 9-7 at the end of the season and looking at a Wild Card, depending on how things shake out.

^^^Who did the Jets payoff to get the finishing schedule they have???  Finishing with five easy games, and only one divisional opponent.  I hate to say it but I can see them making the playoffs.
