I'd say 100%... Name one bigger ;-) I still disagree about his use on ST. As an occasional punt protector with the risk of throwing or running makes some sense... But KO return?? That's the most dangerous thing you can do. You don't put your "back up" QB in that situation. I think all this talk is smoke and mirrors.... Or at least I hope it is.
You don't get it. He was brought to the team to be Brad Smith+. He's not here to be a QB. That's why he's being used on special teams and rooming with a skill guy and not another QB like Sanchez. You don't put a real QB in harms way like the Jets are planning to do with Brad Smith II.
Then why are they calling him the backup... And why is he even getting 2nd string snaps??? Explain the logic there. Did brad smith get all the 2nd string snaps in vamp and in practice?
Riiiggghhhhtttt.... McElroy is really the backup... But we're gonna fool everyone by giving Tebow most of the 2nd string snaps. That's a great way to prep.
The smoke screen is the kickoff thing... His role in ST's will be highly limited IMO...Doubt we will ever see him on any KO teams, although I do think there is a good chance we will see him as the punt protector in fake punt situations. Beyond the Wildcat Package, Tebow won't be used as much as the Jets are leading on...And he has proven he can handle the pounding running the wildcat. Dude carried the rock a lot last year and didn't miss any time. And if he does become the starter, they will still use him on QB designed running plays anyway, so there is really no added risk there. What you are missing is that he brings more to the table than Sanchez does...He brings a running demension that Sanchez does not, while still posting comparable passing numbers... That is why they brought him in....There isn't anything that Sanchez has shown he can do that Tebow cannot..But the same can't be said for the opposite... It's not like we are talking about him coming in for Brady, Rodgers, Brees, or either of the Mannings...We are talking about Mark Sanchez here (You know, the guy who still played like an inconsistent rookie despite being in his 3rd year as the full time starter). You are the one who doesn't get it.
None. Just guessing based upon what I have seen. He could bust like anyone. I just THINK that he will be a good nfl QB. Still betting a tebow jersey with you. Scared?
lol OK - I'm glad we have Brad Smith II to bolster our offense and special teams this year. We really missed him in '11.
This forum is not a place to bother with intelligence. It's infested with a bunch of fanbois who aren't worth wasting time on.
Lol..ok we'll see...should be interesting to see how it all unfolds. Thought u should be happy to have a guy that could help your team win just it's 3rd div title in 41 years.
So does the coaching staff. Mark will not last the season, bud. But don't worry, it will be good for the Jets in the long run.
