Wow the Jets are an absolute media circus the last few years. From Favre to Rex Ryan and now Tebow? Jets = joke

Agreed. Plus if Tebow does by some chance play and have a bad game the Jets fans will turn on him very fast. They won't grovel at his feet regardless of his play like Broncos fans did. Time will tell on how this plays out.
So the Broncos take Tebow as there 1st round draft pick and they trade him away for a 4th rounder a couple years later?! Wow!!
I don't know why Denver traded him. I wouldn't feel real confident with mannings health. He hasn't proved he can play and every sack could make you cringe. Tebow may not have been great, but what are their other backups like.
That is my point, kinda. You will still need to find someone, but at least tebow had seen the offense. Maybe delhomme will show up. Can't remember anymore Carolina qbs.

except Tebow would be a terrible backup QB for a guy like Manning. We saw exactly what he can do in a more typical pro offense. It does not suit him. The Broncos had to tailor the offense to him, and even then they were in the bottom third of the league in offense and 25th in scoring. If he's the backup, you're not going to tailor the offense to him. Your not going to waste time in practice, prepping your team for a completely different offensive set than the one Peyton runs, on the off chance that he gets hurt.
It will be a much different offense than what Tebow ran. You can't back up Manning with a Tebow, complete 180 degree styles of play from each other.
I am not so sure why there is such shock about the Saints. A system that pays players to hurt people, probably borders on being criminal in nature, I am sure the NFL wants to set itself apart from that.
There is a huge difference between a guy trying to hurt another player with a big hit, to a guy getting rewarded for injuring another player with a big hit.
Payton and Williams should both lose there jobs, sucks for the Rams, but do you really want to be associated with this. I am sure at some point some one will sue, the Saints, possibly Payton or Williams, for loss of pay due to an injury sustained while playing against the them.

Who was the starter in Denver? I thought tebow came in during the season, if he did and the other qb is still there, it would make a lot more sense to me. Does Denver grab a qb in the draft also, manning is not a long term solution.
Definitely. The pro guys from where I grew up said it is like a brotherhood among most of the players. They all depend on that check and don't want their livelihood ended so they don't want to end others.

The Broncos started the year with Orton, Quinn, and Tebow on their depth chart. None of those guys are there anymore. Weber out of u of Minnesota is the only QB other than Manning
So the Saints were penalized by sending Tebow to NYJ? Seems like they should've been given Tebow...

That's exactly what the coaches deserved. If you want to be in charge, and you know this is going on, you have to stop it. The buck stops with you.
I think Elway needed to find a valid excuse to get Tebow out of town, hence the Manning acquisition. If Manning plays...great. If not, at least Tebow is out of town.
