Tim Tebow Not Free of Jets' Nightmare Yet

If John Idzik and Rex Ryan stay true to their word, the nightmare for Tim Tebow will continue into mini-camp.

Unable to find a suitor for the dilapidated back-up quarterback, whose career the Jets single-handily destroyed this past season by riding him on the bench and on special teams, could be back next season.

That's right, Tebow Time is set to continue for Year 2.

The Jets are still looking for someone to acquire Tebow for a sixth or seventh round pick, but the likelihood that the Jets will find someone who wants Tebow is highly unlikely. Thus, New York will be forced to release him at some point. Already, the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League said they would sign Tebow if released.

However, Rex Ryan said that Tebow should make plans of contributing to Jets practice this May, when mini-camp opens up. Ryan even said that Tebow will compete for the starting job, as if he hasn't heard that before.

Tebow is now fourth on the depth chart behind Sanchez, oft-injured veteran David Garrard, and Greg McElroy. Tebow never got the chance to start a game for the Jets, because of Ryan's weird devotion to Sanchez, the "golden boy" he drafted back in 2009. While Sanchez stunk it up on the field, Ryan never budged when the calls to put Tebow in the game grew louder each week.

Oddly enough before the Jets contest against Arizona, the Jets deactivated Tebow, and inserted McElroy under center after Sanchez made the Cardinals defense look like the '85 Bears. A clear sign the Jets never believed in Tebow, even though owner Woody Johnson wanted him.

Johnson has stated recently that it was not he who wanted Tebow, but ex-GM Mike Tannenbaum. Whatever you say Woody. Who was that who said Tebow would be a Jet for three-years? Oh wait it was Woody Johnson.

One has to feel for Tebow. The guy is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and his career is going down in flames thanks to the Jets. The sooner he gets out of town, and can go somewhere else, the better off he'll be. But, the Jets don't seem willing to let him go. Maybe the Jets are paranoid about the idea that Tebow would end up in New England and become a superstar again? With the Jets anything is possible.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
