Report: Jets owner wants Tebow to start (scout.com)

Link

A quarterback controversy between Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow could be brewing with New York Jets owner Woody Johnson reportedly pushing for a change under center.

Mark Sanchez's days as the New York Jets starting quarterback appear to be numbered. According to ESPN New York's Rich Cimini, two sources close to Johnson indicate that a push for the coaching staff to play Tebow will be made at the top of New York's hierarchy. Johnson was believed to be the driving force behind the Jets' pursuit of Tebow and is reportedly the man spearheading his promotion to starter.

Sanchez has done very little to help his own cause. Through four games, the 25-year-old has completed just 49.2 percent of of his pass attempts with five touchdowns, two interceptions and two lost fumbles.

To make matters worse, the Jets lost All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis for the remainder of the season with an ACL tear, and top wide receiver Santonio Holmes will also miss the 2012 campaign with a Lisfranc injury in his left foot.

On the heels of a 34-0 shellacking by the San Francisco 49ers, a game in which Sanchez produced a paltry 39.9 passer rating, head coach Rex Ryan and his staff are scratching their heads and searching for answers

Could get interesting . :munchout:

well, that didn't take very long.

Oh man

This just keeps getting better and better.

WOW, who would have expected that would happen:rolleyes:

The circus is coming to town!

WOW, who would have expected that would happen:rolleyes:

I don't know of too many people who thought the inevitable pressure to start Tebow would come from the owner himself

What an absolute joke they are. Right on time too. 4 games played, time to explode.

The Jets owner needs to focus on hiring a GM that isn't completely stupid.

What if he wins?

That would be a riot.

~Bang

Tebow is terrible, this should be fun to watch when it happens. What a cluster****.

Go ahead Jets. I guarantee things will be worse. Denver had RBs to help (McGahee and Moreno) take the pressure off Tebow. Greene and Powell suck and he'll struggle. Take away his running and force Timmy to throw to Jesus every play and I guarantee he'll suck.

Sanchez is a bum. We all know it and, worst of all, the players on the Jets know it. They wont play for the guy.

Might as well see if they will play for Tebow.

Why are there two teams in NY?

Why are there two teams in NY?

I only count 1... in buffalo

What if he wins?

That would be a riot.

The riot would start after a Tebow blowout LOSS! They would implode. So would Greenie!!!

And Vinny was willing to sell the farm for Sanchez...glad we dodged THAT bullet.

Oh man, you know it's bad when the owner wants to make a roster change.

And Vinny was willing to sell the farm for Sanchez...glad we dodged THAT bullet.

Yes we did The revolving door at qb we've had for so long is well worth having the bonafide fanchise qb we now have in Robert Griffin,lll.

Carlos Rogers, the 49ers' cornerback who returned Santonio Holmes' fumble for a touchdown, thought the Jets packed it in early on Sunday.

“It kinda seemed like, after a while they just, I know, looking at their defense, they didn't want to be out there,” said Rogers on Sirius XM radio today. “And after that it's like, man, these guys don't really want to play the game. You know, it's pretty much over.

"You could see it happening,” Rogers said. “It kinda shocked me just because, you know, a lot of guys were saying on the sideline, ‘Oh, they don't want to tackle, they don't want to do this, they don't want to do that.' That's a Rex Ryan defense. That's a Rex Ryan team.

Rogers said it was out of character for a Ryan defense to behave that way.

“His defense, you know, plays throughout. And that was the shocking point about it.... It really kind of shocked me to see that them guys were ready to go get in the showers."

Our defense may be in the bottom 5 but at least they are not quitters. Even when the defense was the strength of this team in recent years and was left on the field way too long, and the offense couldn't move the chains 10 yards.

Sanchez=Jason Campbell. Never will be more than a career backup. That said, Tebow sux. He's a fullback playing QB...a white evangelical virgin version of Brian Mitchell playing QB in the bodybag game.

I figured it would take 8 games.....will have to wait and see what happens this week when they are getting beat up by the Texans. My guess they are down 21 at the half...Tebow comes in and brings them back to win the game....would be kind of cool...

Tebow has gained like 15 pounds since he joined the Jets. He's freaking humongous. There's no way he can be the same effective scrambler that he was in Denver. Without the serious threat of that, and a terrible group of skill players around him, and being limited as a quarterback, he's dead in the water. My only line of thinking behind this is that the owner a) wants to tank for a top 5 draft pick, or he is certifiably insane.

The NFL is better when the Jets, Cowboys, and Raiders suck. Now if we could just do something about the Steelers

Sweet Dirty Sanchez out the Lord Tebow in

Their defense is old, and Roethlisberger is probably like 29/31, but with all the shots he's taken over the years, he probably has the body of Vinny Testaverde at this point. They'll be down soon. They had a good run though.
