well i didn’t see this one coming.
timmy t what had happened baby?
i’m shocked…
One year after bringing Tim Tebow to Broadway, creating a nationwide fascination that slowly evolved into a salacious controversy, the New York Jets made the long-anticipated move Monday of releasing one of the NFL’s most popular players.
The Jets confirmed the release in a three-paragraph news release, a long way from his Super Bowl-sized news conference last March.
“We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow,” coach Rex Ryan said. “Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped. Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason. We wish him the best moving forward.”
Ryan and general manager John Idzik informed Tebow early Monday morning in a face-to-face meeting at the team’s facility, before he worked out with teammates, a source said. Tebow left the building shortly thereafter.
Tebow was dressed in his workout clothes Monday when he was called to Idzik’s office, according to league sources.
So ends one of the strangest chapters in team history — maybe in league history.
i’m sure he’s in a prayer circle at this moment.
i wonder what happened?
he was so hyped up even coming to new york.
what’s going to happen to him going to see broadway plays?
taking tours of the meat packing district?
pause.
well he is a good player and a hard worker so i’m sure he’ll be fine.
the real question is:
they need to drop sanchez
No one but the press ever thought of him as a big deal, his collegiate play was never about throwing the ball down the field. Regardless of how well a QB can run he must be able to throw the ball.
The Jets gambled with trying a two QB system like some NCAA teams but it didn’t work and the hoopla was a distraction and divided the locker room.
Truth be told if Cam didn’t come out the same year as Tebow he wouldn’t have got any press, he ran like Cam but the “experts” didn’t like Cam because he’s was perceived as a ” bab boy”. After RG3 and Russell and Kaepernick showed us how it’s done Tim’s limelight is over. You know quiet as its kept (right
He did his job creating excitement. Getting him was never about football.
^they used timmy?
🙁
Of course. They knew he wasn’t a good fit…it was all about ticket sales and merchandising
So true
Once they drafted geno it was curtains for him
^one thing ive learned is yes,
these players get drafted and look like big deals.
we get excited and cheer for them.
they look good so we expect them to play good.
college is not the same as the nfl.
there are many busts that happen.
Love Tebow but he can’t throw worth a shit. Its that simple.
^he needs to be a running back.
seriously.
