Tim Tebow Cut by the Jets

[Dave Gray]

I think it's time for Tebow apologists to finally admit that he doesn't have it.

[mecadonzilla]

Why?

Sanchez will likely be out on his ass before too long as well.

The Jets's season last year was an abortion on almost every conceivable front, and it makes me happy they hired a new GM and didn't fire their shitty HC.  This NY team is destined to be fighting with Buffalo for who dwells in the AFCE basement.  Instead of worrying about Tebow, you should be happy that the Jests are busy imploding.

I heard that Mark Sanchez threw a going-away party for Tebow when the news broke... but it was intercepted and run back for a touchdown.

LOL!!!!!!  This was too funny. Had me laughing so hard, I was crying!!!

I think it's time for Tebow apologists to finally admit that he doesn't have it.

I don't know how anyone can say this with any certainty. He left as a winning QB on fairly successful team. His time in NY did not prove or disprove anything as he wasn't ever allowed to play QB. As I had mentioned earlier I don't know that he will ever get the chance.

Tebow is a double edged sword as he brings a ton of fans but that comes with a huge distraction that most, if not all, are not willing to deal with to find out.  I don't think he is a great throwing QB but does have the uncanny knack to hit the plays when he needs it. If he doesn't get a legitimate shot in the NFL and it doesn't look like he will at QB, I would certainly like to see him in the CFL just to see how it works out.  If he fails he fails.

Several teams offered to trade for him, if he moved to TE or another position. He refused. No one wants this guy as a QB in the NFL.

Any source?

According to this the Jet never even asked Tebow about another position.

He cleared waivers, nobody put in a claim.

[stinkyfish]

So how much has he made so far in his short tenure in the league/

How can you say that when he lined up at other postions during the year?

[Spider-Dan]

I wonder if Tebow views Peyton as the person who ruined his world.  Or maybe Elway.

What are the realistic landing spots for this guy? Off the top of my head I think these are the 5.... (in no special order)

-Dallas (Jerry Jones loves attention)
-New England (Belichick could kill the circus atmosphere and find some way to use him)
-SF (Harbaugh same as Belichick, see above)
-Washington (With RGIII's knee and Tebow also running that style of offense could be a nice insurance policy to maybe split time with Cousins if RGIII misses time, shit they signed Pat White!!)
-Seattle (Pete Carroll would come up with something for him and is safe enough in his job to have no risk if it fails)

With that said, if NOBODY signed him and Tebow sits out the entire year I wouldn't be shocked either. Tebow has baggage and I think that will scare most teams off.

That's why I was wondering how much he has made in the league so far. Hell, maybe he could just say the hell with it and retire and open a restaurant or two in his hometown area. He would probably make a killing.

Tebow will never have a money problem (unless he is an utter moron with a buck which I dont see). He was a 1st round draft choice (QB no less) before the rookie wage scale went into effect. Not to mention he can make public appearances and be a traveling motivational speaker from now till the day he dies and make millions!

Unless Tebow can play RT better than Winston Justice, I don't see him playing in the NFL this year.

"Idzik confirmed that the Jets received trade inquiries for Tebow before his release. A league source said that interest went nowhere because all the teams wanted Tebow to change positions to tight end, but he refused."

Read this on Twitter Friday night:

"When Mark Sanchez heard that the Jets drafted Geno Smith, he threw his remote at the tv...and missed by 7 yards."
