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.
