While Tebow said a lot of the right things, like complimenting the Denver Broncos as a class organization and expressing the hope to develop a good relationship with Mark Sanchez, he share some interesting thoughts.
1) Tebow admitted that it was the Jets front office that wanted him to do this press conference. Neither Rex Ryan, Mike Tannenbaum nor Woody Johnson showed up for this presser, forcing Tebow to do a solo. Apparently, the trio was in Florida for the NFL meetings, but it leaves no excuse for them not to be there to support their coveted quarterback ... er ... back-up quarterback.
2) Tebow said that he wants to work hard and expand his role in the wild cat. Translation: Tebow expects to compete for the job with Mark Sanchez. There is a reason why Tebow chose to come to New York over his hometown Jacksonville. Ignoring the fact that the Jaguars coaches didn't want him, Tebow knows the Jets coaching staff; he shares the same agent with Rex Ryan and is aware of Sanchez's struggles. Tebow is a hard worker, while Sanchez has been depicted by his teammates as lazy! Watch out for this melee.
3) Tebow said that he can't wait to find out how New York fans will react on game day. Tim, ignorance is bliss. Tebow has no idea what he is getting into with New York fandom; they will be chanting for him to overtake Sanchez from the first day of training camp, and he will hear it throughout the regular season until the Jets make a move. Once Tebow takes over under center, and Jets fans see how mediocre he really is, he will experience a cascade of boos the likes of which he has never heard.
4) Tebow believes the quarterback meetings will be a lot of fun with himself and Mark Sanchez in the room. We all agree; it will be fun as the inevitable battle over who should be the starting quarterback will likely flash in the classroom. That will be Must-See-TV; too bad HBO won't be there for a "Hard Knocks" reprise.
