What's new

NFL Offseason

Wow....

What a dumb move... Tebow to NY....

Why?

Why pay Sanchez millions and then trade assets (that could have been used to bring in targets for him) for Tebow?

Were the Jets struggling to sell tickets last year? I didn't think so....

And why do this move? I don't think it improves their team...

Where was Jacksonville? I think this was a missed opportunity for them. They sure could have used something... Anything! To get excited over!

Yeah, pretty dumb. Even if you are just using him as a Wildcat/Goalline QB, it's a bad move because whenever ever Sanchez is sucking it up (he will) the crowd is going to chant for Tebow. If he didn't have this huge following of blind fans, he could be pretty good in creative packages and in goal-line.

Exactly.

It screws Sanchez.... Which makes no sense to me. They committed over 30 million dollars in him this offseason. Why make life even harder for the guy? You've made your commitment, now build around him! If you didn't think he was that great, THEN WHY DID YOU RESIGN HIM????

Now the circus err Tebowmania is gonna speak up every time Sanchez throws an incomplete pass... It further screws Sanchez over since those draft picks could have been used for something that actually helped the offense. As it stands, who do they have on offense? A bad O-line, depleted WR core, old/crappy RBs, a new OC, and a brand new RB that wants to be QB???

It screws over the team, since this move doesn't help them...

It doesn't really "help" New York, since their goal isn't/shouldn't be to get attention but to win. They already sell enough tickets, it's getting over the "hump" to win a superbowl. To me, this is the kind of move that is gonna get the GM and Coach fired. In fact, does ANYONE really see this ending well for Rex? I don't.... He might as well start sending his resume out to other clubs since he's going to soon be fired...

A team like Jacksonville? They just missed an opportunity. They needed to bring Tebow to their franchise... Sell some tickets, get that franchise back on its feet, and then later make the necessary moves to become a winning team...

All in all, I think it's just dumb.

On the bright side, Tebow is in New York! And... The way Sanchez has looked, might soon become the starter in one of the biggest spotlights in the world!
 
When I heard the trade hit a snafu I got all excited thinking somebody finally came to their senses and nixed it. Guess I should be used to it, I am a Jets fan after all. They always manage to dick things up.
 
The dysfunctional Jets...deal was nixed and then reworked because they failed to read Tebow's contract and weren't aware he was still owed a $5M bonus.
 
Guess the Jets felt left out with NYG winning the SB and NYK having Linsanity. This is will be like the move Devils Advocate except instead of a lawyer he plays football and as long as Charlize Theron is in it I'll watch.
 
As the Dolphins bumble and stumble towards another abortion of a regular season, at least I get some comfort in the form of the mess that's unfolding for the Jets. Jet fans are going to LOVE Tony Sparano and his "2 yards and a cloud of dust" style offense. Throw in a loud mouth head coach, some Wildcat with Tim Tebow, and a media driven QB controversy every day of the week and you have a recipe for what's going to be a complete joke.
 
The punishment the Saints got is so ridiculous it's hard to fathom.

Honestly it is well deserved from my point of view. Good hard hits are part of football. However trying to injure someone on purpose is bullcrap. If it was my team I would expect similar punishment and be ok with it.

From what I read the Saints troubles may not be over. The league is going to review footage from games and the roster may take some heavy suspensions and fiens as well.

Just wait until they start leveling the punishments out to the players involved.

I don't mind the punishment for the Saints. Can't have players suing the league for not defending them then allowing this system to go unpunished. If anything this was a CYOA deal from the NFL's perspective.

Ummmm why?

Huge difference between playing hard and physical and placing bets to injure a player, cripple him, and earn incentives for having him carried off in a stretcher. You can't have bounties to injure and cripple other players.

Why is this such a hard concept for some folks to understand? Ah yes, cuz they've never played sports before. Since they think that sports is a full out war.

Since so many former players are suing the League. The League needed to show that this kind of nonsense isn't tolerated. They needed to show that they actually took measures to protect players and help prevent future lawsuits. NFL players know this, hence, you haven't heard criticisms of the league's suspension nor have you heard anyone coming to the Saints' aid.

Not to mention, the lame *** lying and cover up didn't help. You NEVER lie to the Comish. NEVER. I think their punishment would have been slightly less severe if they would have just come out and admitted to it. Instead, Payton tried his hardest to cover this whole thing up...

I think most folks who have played sports understand this basic concept. You play hard, you play aggressive, you play physical... Rarely (if ever) do you desire to injure the player across the court/field from you. Get a good hit on him? Absolutely. But then you line it up and do it again. You don't want to see him in a stretcher. And like hell would you ever place a bounty on anyone's head. that's a nasty criminal element that is found only as a minority.

You can be physical and nasty and not place bounties. And I don't buy that every lockerroom is doing the same BS. I think far fewer have bounties than do.
