I have no problem with Tebow deciding that. The Jets lied to him.
The Jets did not lie to him. The Jets aren't playing him because he's regressed. He's actually become worse at quarterback, mostly because he had the stupid idea that he needed to bulk up more in the offseason to be a better quarterback. Once again, it was reported almost from the first day he was here, both by internal sources, and by the media, that Tim Tebow was horrendous. He was so bad that he never ever ever had a chance of playing quarterback for them because if they were ditching Sanchez, they were starting over. Boomer Esiason said he should have been cut in the preseason. It was the worst kept secret in all of New York. Tim Tebow was worse than he was in Denver, not better.
Let's be honest. Tim Tebow may have won another game for them. Sanchez was bad too and as we learned in Denver, Tebow can defy all football logic and keep his team competitive even while looking completely clueless out there. It still sucks for the future for them. This is actually one of the smartest football decisions they've made. Now, Jacksonville can still make themselves think that they can let Tebow play QB and they'll pay more. The Jets are protecting themselves trying to get the most they can out of the poor trade they made in the offseason.
Let's put it another way. Rex Ryan either knew that Tim Tebow sucked, or hates him so much that he'd rather get fired than play him. You would think that a coach on the hot seat like him would have put Tebow in 5 games in, especially since the owner seems to like Tebow. He didn't. That's the biggest indication that Tebow sucks since Denver, after he "lead" them to the playoffs, immediately signed a player they literally couldn't see throw at full strength.
The best part about this is that Tebow is showing he's no different than any other spoiled player. He's whining when he was given chances. He was given a lot of chances in practices. He was embarrassing. He saw the field. He didn't do much. Now, they want to see what else they have. Hopefully this will get people to see through Tebow using religion to make money and people can stop treating him like he's even the least bit capable at QB. Denver decided he wasn't and it worked out well for them.
