Tim Tebow has been traded to the Jets. According to reports, Tebow had final say as to which team he would be traded to...the Jets or the Jaguars. He picked the Jets and that makes no goddam sense to me at all. The Jets are a nightmare, led by a loud mouthed punk of a coach that is more concerned with soundbites than he is in X's and O's on the field or dysfunction off the field. Rex Ryan is a tool.
This trade can't sit well with the Jets current starting QB, man about town and all around nancy boy, Mark Sanchez. After the first three and out, the chants for Tebow are going to start...and God help Sanchez should he turtle up and take a sack rather than run for a first down.
I'm not sure what's in this for Tim Tebow either. He could have returned to Florida and revitalized a franchise that has had difficulties selling tickets to home games. Tebow would put asses in the seats and would make the Jags a national storyline, good or bad. The Jags haven't been a major player since the days of Mark Brunell and Fred Taylor. Expectations in Jacksonville would have been lighter was well. I'm wondering how Tebow and his Tebowing antics will play in NYC...once the novelty wears off, things could get ugly. The Jets fan base isn't exactly comprised of the kinder gentler NFL fan.
We'll see how this plays out...I don't see it going well, even if Tebow is used in a limited role as a change of pace QB 6-7 times a game. Should those handful of plays go well, fans are going to clamor for more...if they get stuffed and Tebow is ineffective, he'll be viewed as a distraction. It's lose/lose in either scenario in this guy's opinion. Timmy T should have gone to the Jags where the incumbent starter is the barely serviceable Blaine Gabbert.

I have a feeling that it wasn't Tebow's choice as much as Denver would have you believe. The only way it makes any sense is if Tebow decided that the Jags are such a mess that he wants nothing to do with them. And even then it's a stretch because the Jets are a mess too, just one that has an outside shot at the playoffs. I still think Miami is the ideal team for him though.
