The off season for the Jets was simple. Rebuild the O-line at Right Tackle. Tweak D-Line with Pass Rushers at DE and NT. Fix the Secondary at Safety. Get a # 2 WR, and get a back up for Sanchez.
When Peyton Manning signed on Tuesday I knew Tebow would be a Jet by Wednesday. So when my friend called me yesterday telling me what the Jets had done, I wasn't surprised.
No Peyton, no Problem. They signed Sanchez to a contract extension. They sign Drew Stanton, okay someone to give Sanchez a little more competition, but not much. Rumors have it that Jets think that Tebow could have a positive effect in a divided locker room, which I agree to a certain extend is good. But if Jets wanted that they would just hired a chaplain.
So are they sending a message to Sanchez... IMO not really. Many reports came out about the Jets coddling Sanchez, and apparently signing Stanton wasn't enough to silence his detractors. So why not Tebow!? He'll give Sanchez the run for his money. The key word there is "Run" According to reports the Jets plan on using him in Wildcat much like they did with Brad Smith, but unlike Brad Smith , Tebow is an established threat that keeps defenses honest. And if the Jets can return to the ground and pound having Tebow their only strengthens their efforts. If anything they are sending a message to Santonio Holmes..."If you think you didn't get the ball enough last year. You'd better count you blessing when you do see it this year"
Of course this is all conjecture and hearsay from Jets fan that's in denial.
