Training camp has just begun and Jet football fever is rampant in my home. Now on to a subject that no one has mentioned in 10 seconds. Tim Tebow will he automatically get the 2nd spot behind Sanchez? We all saw that Thanksgiving
Game disaster when we out played Denver for 90%of the game. Tebow is a great guy ,a good football player,he's no NFL QB. Let's say McElory or even Sims puts up bigger numbers in preseason than Tebow. How do the Jets deal with this? Brunell was Sanchez's caddy for the last 2 seasons and we know he didn't ' earn his position. Tebow is known to be a bad practice type player however in the last 5 minutes of a game Tebow has shown he makes plays. Will this be enough for Rex and Tanny to automatically crown him the heir to Sanchz?

Fans of other teams are right. Jet fans are the dumbest fan base out there.
I have been a loyal Jets fan since the 1960's but....Sometimes I wonder.
Regardless of whether you like Tebow or not, can we refrain from making judgments based on one practice? It can take years to determine how good or bad a player is, SEE DREW BREES.

Exactly. That anyone thinks they could possibly make a case that Tebow doesn't land as the backup is amazing to me. Like him or not, and I'm not a fan, he's the 2nd best QB on the team.
I believe Chris Simms has started more NFL games than Tebow so maybe not so dumb.....Not saying he would beat out Tebow but he does have NFL experience....
As far as leading the Bronco's to the AFC west title, Tebow needing only 1 win to clinch **** the bed big time the last 3 games of the season....Going 0-3
30-73....40% comp rate...1 TD....4 INT...5 fumbles losing to the awful Chiefs and Bills in that run.....

We have Matt Simms, not Chris Simms.
Chris Simms isnt on the jets. He has been out of the league for years.
There should be a test you must pass to post on this board. I mean, im arguing with people who think chris simms is a jet.
Your right, my bad....How about arguing how Tebow fared the last 3 games in 2011.....Leading the Bronco's to the division title.....
Gotcha......i am right on top of things....
Still do not think Tebow is a starting NFL QB....
The 3 games that Matt Simms watched on TV?
He won. Get over it. Don't try and take those games away from him. It's stupid to argue that point
We have one of the best back up qbs in the league. If Sanchez gets hurt or struggles, we have a guy that can win games.
We havent had that in years. Clemens, brunell etc.
We get imo the best backup in the league, and some are heckling him at practice. Were these same fans heckling brunell last year?
Why does so many hate this guy? It cant be religon.
When will you people understand, that Tim Tebow isn't here to become our next franchise Quarterback? He's here to help improve our overall offensive attack. He won't be used as a "backup quarterback"; he'll be used as an NFL football player. He'll become our center-piece of a Tony Sparano led Wildcat (Gator) formation, he'll be used as a HB and FB coming out of the backfield during down and short and/or goalline situations, could be used as a TE in order to throw opposing defenses off balance, could become an impossible force to stop inside the red-zone rushing behind Nick Mangold etc, etc This man is going to be lined up all over the offensive side of the field, maybe even on special teams, what don't you people understand? Stop acting as if we traded for a "backup quarterback" to rot the bench.

Again, telling him to throw when he should be throwing the ball isn't heckling. Just because you love the guy its stupid to make it into something its not.
And Brunnell was really heckled at practices I went to and anytime he was on the field in preseason or regular season games.
Its because some people recognize him for what he is, a back up QB, not the immortal QB with magical powers that a lot of people and the media have made him out to be.
I agree he is a nice back up option to have, but would not want him as my starter for an extended period of time.
What does everyone want in a backup qb?
A guy that can rally the troops.
A guy that can win games in a pinch.
A guy the players respect.
A leader
Tebow has all of that. Your not bringing joe montana off the bench.
We had brunell last year people. Why arent we cheering tebow at practice?
Because he was playing like s**t.
Actually I see less hate for Tebow and more hate for his blind followers who hype him to no end strictly due to his religious beliefs.
Because that is annoying as can be.
Exactly. It's not a round of golf. Everyone would be yelling the exact same thing during the game, why is this any different?
