Tebow trade exemplified Jets' headline-chasing over meaningful offensive planning.

The Jets traded for Tebow in 2012, one of the biggest stars in the sport but one whose stardom was solely based on college performance; he lacked the tools to be a competent professional quarterback. Based on the 2012 season, the Jets coaching staff did not embrace Tebow and never had a meaningful plan for using him. They used him as the personal protector on the punt team just to get him on the field. As Mark Sanchez struggled as the 31st-ranked QB out of 32 qualifiers, the coaching staff never considered replacing him with Tebow. When Sanchez was finally benched, it was for recent seventh-round pick Greg McElroy. The source notes owner Johnson proclaimed, 'I think you can never have too much Tebow,' exemplifying the Jets' pattern of prioritizing headlines over sound roster decisions.
