The New York Jets have got a huge problem on their hands. One of their own making. That is, reconstructing Mark Sanchez. The highly-paid, on-and-off producing Sanchez has a self-esteem problem, always seems to have had one since coming into the NFL. Now, that problem is exacerbated by the Jets move to acquire Tim Tebow. Why would they do this to a QB that you just tried to bolster by giving more money? Tebow is NOT the second coming of even Neil O'Donnell yet the risk crushing the ego of their more expense starting QB. I'm puzzled by this the more I think of it.
I'm not sure why they would even want Tebow as a backup. he's the best they can find? Really? But they couldn't have wanted him for a backup, could they. Perhaps. The fact that they balked on Tebow's contract once finding out they would have to pay $5 million to Denver makes me think that was their intention. But what young NFL starting QB (Tebow) would want to go to a team where he was to be the number two guy?
If the jets don't take Tebow because of the financial issue with the contract how do they jack-up Sanchez to even perform as well as he has in the past? I know he's a professional but that only goes so far. Actually it would be better for Sanchgez to leave the Jets anyway as I'm not sure he's up to the New York City pressure to go along with his bombastic head coaches tendencies to overstate his team's effectiveness and to mess with his QB's head.
Perhaps instead the Jets need to hire a pair of psychiatrists, one for the QB and one for the coach in an attempt to diffuse the whole situation.
