The punishment obviously reflects that. I figured there would be comparisons to Spygate and the punishment doled out, but there two situations really aren't comparable. <br /><br />I can't say I honestly get the move for Tebow either. I know it isn't bad for Sanchez to have competition, but this isn't good competition for Sanchez. Tebow isn't a guy who will come in and do the same things Sanchez will do, but he is a completely different quarterback. So it isn't like the Jets brought in a veteran to compete with Sanchez, they brought in a quarterback who would need to run a completely different offense from Sanchez. <br /><br />That's a good point that if you are running the Wildcat with a quarterback, it possibly isn't the Wildcat. I didn't get the move because of Sanchez fails then the Jets have assured Tebow gets a shot at running the team after Sanchez fails. I'm not sure that's a smart move. If Sanchez succeeds and improves this year, there will be clamoring for Tebow to get on the field and play, which would disrupt the flow of the offense. This puts too much pressure on Sanchez for all the wrong reasons. It is needless pressure in my opinion. If Sanchez fails, why have a QB on the roster who will require you to change the entire offense? <br /><br />20 plays a game sounds like a lot. Like the old adage goes, if you have two quarterbacks then you really have none. If Sanchez performs well, the fans will want to see Tebow, if Sanchez performs badly, the fans will want to see Tebow. Doesn't sound like the Jets have committed to Sanchez as much as they pretend to.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-48110356937302500962012-03-27T23:17:07.576-04:002012-03-27T23:17:07.576-04:00here is the game-suspension scoreboard in the two ...<b>here is the game-suspension scoreboard in the two cases this morning: Saints Bounty Scandal 46, Spygate 0.</b><br /><br />Spygate wasn't that bad. What the NFL was pissed at wasn't that the Patriots were filming... it's that they had a guy filming from the sidelines.<br /><br />Had he been in the stands or in the coaching box, there'd be nothing to get upset about.<br /><br />Plus after Spygate, you'd think teams would get the memo to not try to skirt the rules. The Saints did. They had their warning and they went and did it anyway.<br /><br />So to recap:<br /><br />1. Spygate was wrong because the guy was filming from the wrong spot.<br /><br />2. Saints actively tried to hurt players over three years.<br /><br />Shocking that 2 would face a harsher penalty.<br /><br /><b>Wildcat quarterback.</b><br /><br />If you have a QB running the wildcat... it's not the damn wildcat. The fact that people are saying how awesome it will be to use Tebow in the "wildcat" are pointing to why they got him for basically a 4th rounder: he can't throw.<br /><br />If you get a backup QB and plan to use him 20 plays a game in a set that doesn't let him throw means you have a shitty backup QB.<br /><br />The thing I love about the move in a "I can't believe they did it" way is this. If Sanchez sucks, then the Jets have to move forward with Sanchez making top 10 QB money or Tebow.<br /><br />If Sanchez doesn't improve this year, then the Jets are screwed. Without Tebow, the Jets cut Sanchez, maybe bring him back at a reduced salary and draft another QB.<br /><br />Now? Now if Sanchez sucks, they have to hope that Tebow improves really fast or they have to use more draft picks on a QB, which is hilarious because:<br /><br />1. They moved up to get Sanchez (1st and 2nd rounders + 3 players).<br /><br />2. They drafted McElroy last year (7th round)<br /><br />3. Sent 2.5M, a fourth and a 7th for a 6th and Tebow.<br /><br />So that's 2.5M,three players and five draft picks for three backup quality QBs and a 6th round pick.<br /><br />Amazing.<br /><br />What does Tebow add to the Jets' offense that they didn't already have? Sanchez is a better passer and John Conner (FB) is a decent runner when he gets the chance.<br /><br />So basically, if the Jets just wanted a big guy who could run, they already have that in Conner and if they wanted a QB... they already have one better.<br /><br />It's also shocking to me that Rex said he planned on using Tebow about 20 plays a game. I mean... you might get 50 plays in a game, so you're going to give your back up QB 20 of those?<br /><br />How can you expect your offense to have any rhythm when you're splitting plays 60/40? Honestly when was the last time this actually worked? Did Rex not watch LSU try to pull it off this year?richnoreply@blogger.com
