I've criticized New York Jets' back-up quarterback Tim Tebow more than Tebow has prayed to Jesus, but even I will defend the quarterback in light of what I read in an ESPN.com article today.
As reported by Jane McManus and Rich Cimini, a report was released which showed that 12 players on the New York Jets have stated that Tim Tebow isn't a good player.
As one defensive starter told the Daily News, "He's terrible."
Another player, said that outside of starting quarterback Mark Sanchez, "There's no other viable option."
In addition to this, a Jets official told the newspaper the following regarding the team's passing game: "I've seen better receiving corps in college than we have on our team."
Yes, when a team is struggling, as the 3-6 New York Jets are, some things are going to be said. However, even in that scenario, there's really no need to exacerbate tensions in the locker room by calling players out as being awful. How is that going to help the team? This is especially the case for Tebow. It's not like the guy has had significant playing time this year. As much as I'd love to criticize his throwing mechanics, I haven't had many opportunities to do that. If Mark Sanchez goes down with an injury, then what? Will many on the team whom have publicly stated that back-up Tim Tebow is a terrible quarterback suddenly make up, become great friends and be able to move the team forward without any setbacks? The more I watch, read and hear about this team, the more I think they belong on a 24-hour reality show channel.
