It still amazes me to read the never ending argument on
whether Tim Tebow can lead a franchise as the starting quarterback. Unless you are prepared to revamp your entire
offense around him to take that chance then obviously the answer is no. Case closed.
The best you can hope for is what transpired last season with the
Broncos where Tim will have many games that he completes ten passes out of
thirty but if you have a great defense that can keep it close he might pull it
out in the end as defenses seemed to lose their minds in the last two minutes
against him last season. He might also
lose by twenty and have your fans calling for change. Personally, I think the New York Jets might
have figured out what is best to do with Tim Tebow and all they had to do is
Google the name, Jim Jensen.
Jim Jensen, who was affectionately known as Crash, was known
for being as his Wikipedia describes a human Swiss Army Knife. He played on punt and kickoff coverage for
the Miami Dolphins in the 1980s and early 90s and was also used as a 3rd down
running back and wide receiver. He also
provided the dimension of being able to throw the ball passing for two
touchdowns during the years behind Marino. Jensen was a college quarterback at
the University of Boston and compiled a 17-3-1 record as a starter in the
Yankee Conference.
It is apparent that Tebow has more to offer as a passer with
a stronger arm and a lot more awards on the mantel than Jensen ever dreamed
about but unless a team is willing to sell out completely to Tebow having him
compete for a starting job is just a recipe for a major league quarterback
controversy. Now imagine if Tebow is
listed as the team’s third QB, or fifth running back, or fifth wide receiver or
maybe a third tight end and then watch a creative mind use him all over the
place. If I were a Jets fan I would be
praying not for Tebow to work out but for Greg McElroy to entrench himself as
the number two quarterback behind Mark Sanchez. With Tebow as your listed number three
quarterback or fifth running back you can see him all over the field making
plays and causing defensive coordinators some serious headaches. Granted his pride likely will keep this
from happening but the idea of a jack of all trades player flying around for
the Jets would be fun to watch.
