Yea 2011 wasn’t great but it was 8-8 and certainly salvageable. Instead this brought the clown show circus to Florham Park. For the life of me I cannot understand how any competent GM thought this would be a good move for a young qb trying to develop and team chemistry overall. If your starting QB is so insecure that bringing in a wildcat QB, one devoid of any real starting talent and it throws your career into the abyss, you never really had a NFL QB.

Why didn't you just say that in your first post, then? This is a far more valid point than the first one you tried to make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Tim hit about .177 in AAA with no power. I always thought if he wanted to play baseball he could play in an Independent league. As for the Jets he was misused got almost no chance to play Qb he threw about 6 passes all season. Rex and Sparano never wanted him and couldn’t figure out how to use him. He even played special teams that season I would have liked to have seen him get a start they had nothing to lose. Mark was terrible and after he was benched Rex started McElroy.

It was bad enough he got promoted to AAA. The White Sox never let Michael Jordan get past AA. Both Jordan and Tebow were pretty similar PR situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If he played his natural position we wouldn't have drafted Adams and probably draft Mahomes or Watson. To bad the guy wasn't willing to put his God given talent to good use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark was terrible and after he was benched Rex started McElroy. I believe the story was that Rex wanted Tebow as well as Tannenbaum and Woody. Rex clearly had this second QB plan in mind because he tried to do a little of it in Buffalo on fourth downs. I'm sure Woody was also insistent that Tebow see the field during the season. It was a bad plan all the way around and it seemed everybody thought it was a good idea without really knowing what the idea was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great honor to be called up to the bigs. It should be a meritocracy that gets you there. Not some PR stunt to sell jerseys. No one owed Jordan or Tebow a thing.

A lot of AAA players who have toiled in minor leagues were brought up to pitch or play one game as a tip of the hat to their determination. It’s not a big deal. And you’re talking about 2 legendary sports figures here. Suave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you move him to the 40 man roster, you knock someone else off, and that exposes him to waiver claims. That spot is valuable. You don't do that.
