hondo in seattle Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I hope this is just the beginning. The fact that Tebow completed a long pass for a TD will surely be noticed by some of the Jets players. Let the controversy begin... Tim Tebow takes New York Jets' first-team snaps By Marc Sessler With Mark Sanchez looking on, New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow took a pair of first-team snaps on Wednesday. Now here's the catch: It doesn't matter. "It was just two more plays," Tebow, told Jenny Vrentas of the The Star-Ledger. "Try to execute and do your job like any other play." And that's what it was. Just any other play. Two plays, actually: The first, a deep, incomplete toss to Eron Riley. The second, a completion to wideout Patrick Turner, who beat Antonio Cromartie for a 60-yard touchdown (contain yourselves). Tebow lined up for 11-on-11s as the offense cycled through its third-down package. Rex Ryan chuckled about the scoring strike, which came against the same defensive alignment Tebow saw in Denver on his 20-yard, game-sealing touchdown scamper against the Jets in Week 11 last season. Because it's Tebow, Sanchez and the high-octane stew known as the Jets, this is ripe for overreaction. Let's avoid it. Up in New England, even Bobby Hoyer gets a snap or two with the ones. Graham Harrell sees a little first-team action in Green Bay and, down in New Orleans, Chase Daniel will get to know the starting center. Life moves onward. We'll learn more about this offense Friday, when the Jets visit the Cincinnati Bengals. Ryan told The Associated Press that Sanchez will play "a quarter or so," while Tebow could play about two. That deserves more analysis than two plays in Cortland, N.Y. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000047372/article/tim-tebow-takes-new-york-jets-firstteam-snaps?module=HP11_headline_stack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsrcursed Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 What team trades themselves into a QB controversy? The Jets are morons for the Tebow trade its going to tear their team apart. I'm not sure the Jets could have signed a back up QB that DIDN'T cause a QB controversy. Rex was looking for a QB to bring in that could run some "wildcat" plays and ended up with a media sh*tstorm. Best of both worlds in his eyes I'm sure. As mentioned above, game 6 is a good guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) It's just soooo sad for all of us that the media has to play the Jests up so much that we have to hear about the excructiating minutiae about every single daily event that is The Jests Training Circus. He threw 2 passes. OMFG. Seriously.......A real FOOTBALL writer might want to write a story about the WR's or lack there of. Or.....isn't there another team in NY that won the Super Bowl last year? Are they still playing this year?? http://youtu.be/spYW0gutg38 Edited August 9, 2012 by Cville Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filly from Ruffalo Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If it was most other teams I don't think it would make a difference, but they've already paved the way for there to be a controversy. And the Jets get more coverage than soldiers in battle. And with all the other stupid things they say and do (fighting, Cromartie) adding any fuel to that fire can only be further distraction at this point.
