I was drinking my morning coffee when the headline flashed across the bottom of the screen. That sound you heard was me choking and sputtering.
My Jets have given up two perfectly good draft picks for Tim Tebow, the worst quarterback in the National Football League.
Gak.
What the hell are they thinking over there at Gang Green central?
Mark Sanchez is not, as yet, Eli Manning, but he is a talented quarterback with a good arm and he completes more than fifty per cent of his passes, none of which can be said for Tebow. The last thing he needs is a stadium full of Timomaniacs screaming for Tebow every time a pass falls incomplete. The divisions in the Jets locker room last season were well documented. THis is just going to make those problems a thousand times worse.
Nor do I think that Tebow's conspicuous piety will play well in the Big Apple. This is the city that once embraced Broadway Joe. Tebow would fit better in... well, if Branson, Missouri had an NFL team, that would be a perfect fit.

Earlier this year, Sanchez was summoned before the Council, and deemed worthy of his rank and status and told to continue his missions. However, the Council has now told him they're bringing in Tebow, a "backup Captain," in case Sanchez falters. As if that weren't enough, the backup Captain is largely considered a joke by the other squads. His plans of battle are laughable and fail (hard) 95% of the time. But, strangely, he comes out with a head-scratching last-minute victory far more often than people would expect. To top it all off, he's not even a goblin, but an elf! One of those stoic, humble, overly-spiritual elves who cries in defeat, but also cries in victory. How could *he* be put in position to captain a crew of goblins?!
This analogy took a lot longer to explain than I thought it would.
the worst quarterback in the National Football League
I believe that title belongs to someone that plays a little further to the West.
Any who. I have no idea that they’re up to and will have to see how all of this falls in place. I thought Tebow would have done well in Charlotte. We all know how badly the Panthers need something to pull them together.
It will be an interesting year.
But QB or RB, I'm just surprised the Jets picked him up at all. I figured he'd end up playing for some struggling southern team, like the Panthers. I'm just glad he didn't somehow end up in Baltimore.

I'm pretty upset about Peyton going to Denver, tbh- I loathe the Broncos, but I love the Manning brothers. Life is cruel and unfair, sometimes.
Sorry. A la my icon, I've got my rantypants on today.
Sorry, that's all I've got.
Be well.
If it works: it lights a fire under Sanchez's behind or Tebow takes over and becomes a good QB. If it doesn't, they are no worse off than they are now.
Have fun! ;)
I was watching from home when the news hit. I was about to thank Mrs. Phipps for bringing me the guacamole nacho platter from my favorite taco truck down the block, but instead I groaned and screamed.
Ah, NFL draft day.... did you see the thing with the Saints coach? it's shaping up to be a helluva year.
Though as a KC Chiefs fan, I'm just happy he's outta my division so I won't have to hear about him as much, lol. (Though it's going to be a lot harder for me to hate Denver now that they have Peyton, because <3).
