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!
