Yahoo Sports NFL on Tim Tebow
From the article
Four years later the Jets traded for Tim Tebow, one of the biggest stars in the sport, but one who was a star solely for his college performance. Tebow lacked the tools to be a competent professional quarterback... They used him as the personal protector on the punt team just to get him on the field... the owner proclaimed, 'I think you can never have too much Tebow.'
STACKED’s take
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.
