Woody Johnson is in McElroy’s corner, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. The Jets owner was thought to be a staunch Tebow supporter, though there is some question about the wildcat specialist’s health as he recovers from two cracked ribs.
“I’m told owner Woody Johnson prefers Greg McElroy to be starting QB,” Mehta tweeted Tuesday. “GM Mike Tannenbaum & OC Tony Sparano prefer Mark Sanchez this week.”

So who are the diots?

Tanny is vested in Sanchez, Sparano is simply an idiot.

This is like a game of pass the hot potato in the Jet organization. Each of them are going to keep passing the decision making responsibility publicly to someone else. so no one really knows where the decision rests, and they feel there will be no culpability to pass judgment on.

It's unfortunate that we can't fire an owner, but Tanny and Rex need to be gone.

Ha

That's as plausible as Manish making it up. Funny you complain about people questioning the presses motives, but then are ready to jump the conspiracy of the evil empire. I suppose he is supporting McElroy to sell PSLs?

The fact is, it is not a legit quote or press release so it should be taken with a grain of salt. In either direction.

Conspiracy of the evil empire? LOL. I'm talking about how sports teams work. This isn't unique to the Jets. The Knicks, Yanks, Mets, and Giants all leak info to the media that they want to get out there. If fact, some teams have leaked info on person because one person in an organization wants to damage another. This is the way sports teams are run, especially in the NYC metro area.

So, no, my point is not as "plausible" as Mehta making it up. There is a long history here of the Jets in particular, and sports team in general who work as such.

[The Crusher]

Give you an idea what a real NFL owner does. That's Jon Tisch, one half of one half of Giants' ownership on the left. That's my mom on the right. Last Saturday while we were excavating the ruins of her home(and found some stuff and jewelry, including the engagement ring she is wearing ), Mr. Tisch was walking around Rockaway doing charity work supporting Sandy victims, and I assume checking out how the Giants Sandy relief monies were being spent.

My mom couldn't care less about football. She is smiling because she got her ring back. And it is a pretty cool picture to us.

Mr. Tisch did not express any opinion about his team spare he hoped they would beat the Skins. Mr. Tisch was also born to great wealth, yet he seemed from this admittedly small sample to conduct himself with dignity and grace. Perhaps our owner could take a hint. Hire good people-and take a giant step back already.

As long as Woody owns the Jets this figures to be as close as I ever get to a Super Bowl ring.

Awesome man. Thanks for sharing.

It's come to the point that the turning point for this franchise might have been when Tagliabue had the Hess estate take Johnson's bid over that of the Dolan gang.

I almost cannot believe I'm writing that sentence. And it's true.Why is any owner involved in who starts at QB?

Are you suggesting we'd be better off with the Dolans running the show?

[slats]

Well Rex and Woody are going to be here next year and Tannenbaum and Sporano aren't.

Wow, a lucid thought.

[Bugg]

Are you suggesting we'd be better off with the Dolans running the show?

Yes.

Period.

Absolutely.

Scary but true.

[Sperm Edwards]

Are you suggesting we'd be better off with the Dolans running the show?

At least we wouldn't be in New Jersey. Yuck.

[THE ILK]

1 or 2 = Play Sanchez

3 or 4 = Play Tebow

5 or 6 = Play McElroy

IDIOT PROOF!

[whodeawhodat]

If the owner wants it to happen, it is going to happen. If someone talks him out of it wanting it to happen, they had better be right, just like in any other business.

[faba]

With the Dolan's you know they will spend the money-lots of other faults though

[T0mShane]

My dream is that Woody Johnson makes himself GM. That would be my dream.

Right. That is how sports teams work. Please explain to me how the media works. The media is 100% ethical and doesn't twist anything or imply that sources are something they are not. For instance the "I am told" in Mehta's piece. Who told him? Woody? Tannenbaum? The janitor? Could have been ****ing Mad Mike for all we know.

[stoicsentry]

I'm all for McElroy starting but honestly how many plays does he have under his command at this point? He was on the IR all of last year and hasn't been taking many snaps in practice.

With the Dolan's you know they will spend the money-lots of other faults though

Woody has spent the money, too.

[jack48]

i wonder what sporano have runnning through their minds when they want sanchez to start.

and after all, Sparano should have oodles of credibility after his performance as OC this year.

The NFL has become such a QB oriented league that you either need a franchise QB or a HC that has a very tight grip on the offense. A guy like Harbaugh (either one) can make due w/o a franchise QB, everyone else is sunk without one.

IDIOT PROOF!

Probably closer to

1, 2, 3, 4 = McElroy

5, 6 = Sanchez

7 = Tebow

[stoicsentry]

We would have a GREAT quarterback situation if only we could combine the strength and athleticism of Tebow with the quarterback mechanics and football IQ of McElroy with the... well, let's just leave Sanchez out of this.
