I just thought I'd share this piece of scoop I found while checking mail.

I mean I understand he's somewhat over rated to some folks, but c'mon now, what did the kid do to deserve this? I think this is classless. I will never order anything from Dick's again, I'd get my footballs from Target from now on. Disrespectful.

What do you guys think?

I think its hilarious, but I hate the Jets, and dislike the Tebow hype.

I like Tebow and think he didn't get a fair shot this season, but that's funny lol

Don't think anything of it really.

What's embarrassing are the guys who actually played in those games isn't it? At least Tebow had nothing to do with that failure. The Jets organization looks terrible not Tebow.

Now that you guys mentioned it and looked at it again, I see the humor now.

I still think this is classless, with the way the Jets performed and how they treated Tim.

Sure, it's clasless.  Right in line with the way Rex and the Jets treated Tebow.

But really, who's getting the last laugh here?

Sorry, but this is just hilarious. I think that even Tebow would think it's funny if he has any sense of humor whatsoever.

This. It's a see what you want to see thing. Some people see a guy that couldn't get on the field. Others see a team that went down the drain while a natural leader and playoff winning QB just sat around and was paid to do nothing while watching the worst starting QB in the league

Uh, how did they treat tim "disrespectfully"?

from all accounts, he isn't a great practice player (which is a bad thing when your trying to establish that your better than the starter). is he better than mark sanchez? probably, but so is most of the league.

If he wanted to start, he should have gone to Jacksonville when he had the choice, he would have been named the starter immediately. he gambled that he would impress enough in pre season and practice to pick off mark sanchez job.

he didn't do that. the reports were he hadn't improved throwing the ball at all, which is a huge flaw in his game since he wants to be a QB.

i mean, yes, he took denver on a run last year but what happened the first time he played an elite team? they stuffed the box and dared him to beat them throwing the ball and he failed spectacularly.

It sounds like a case where the owner went out and got a player the Coaches didn't really want or have a spot to use him. 




And no QB was going to make the mess that was the Jets offense work.  There is no skill at the skill positions. 


A running team that can not run.

I think it's funny and fine.   If he can absorb all the fame he can absorb this too

He brought this on himself.  I do not feel a bit sorry for him.
