Other Tim Tebow - 3,000 days between games

[Dirty Bird]

EA Sport game designers should program the madden curse in.

 

[matt_897]

I'm excited to create even more chaos for a team already faced with enough issues.... is what he should of said.

 

[Exe Gesis]

I'm excited to have a foothold in New York city, the USA's and the world's center of culture, business, media...in order to further spread the word of Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

It's gunna be great to be a Jets fans this year...never a dull moment.





Devout Tebow and X-rated Ryan share passion for winning

BOSTON — There has never been a pairing of head coach and quarterback like this, not even Weeb Ewbank and Broadway Joe Namath, not even Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw, not even Walt Michaels and Doug Flutie with the USFL Generals.

Ryan is so passionate about winning and about his players that he will cry at a team meeting.

Tebow is so passionate about winning that he delivered a speech, now immortalized as The Promise on an engraved plaque outside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. It was delivered after Ole Miss had beaten Tebow’s Gators 31-30 on Sept. 27, 2008:

“I promise you one thing. A lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season. You will never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season.”

Florida went on to win the national championship, which means Tebow immediately replaces Ryan as team prophet....

yup.. we know about that... that was THEN.. this is NOW.

It's a great coup for the J-E-T-S to have the (RE) X factor but sheesh....

bottom line..

Are YOU EXCITED ??

 

[Starburns_]

About the only time a back-up would ever grace the cover.

Though I reckon now it'll be Peyton.

I'm excited alright.


Love the whole Tebow circus...and now he's performing in the biggest circus in the NFL.

Rexy's Jets!!



Even Revis thinks it's great that Tebow has joined the circus..

But Tebow's arrival could also lead to a quarterback controversy. Revis, who didn't think there was enough team support behind Sanchez in 2011, acknowledged it might test a locker room that he admitted was in "disarray" at the end of the season.

"It was a circus," Revis said, "and it's going to be more of a circus with him in the locker room. I'm not questioning his ability to play the game. He can flat-out play the game. But it's just going to bring more to the locker room every day [of], 'Does Mark need to start? Does Tim need to start?' It's going to just be an ongoing thing throughout the season..

[nobbyiscool]

i'm excited by all the excitement in this thread.

i'm excited that tebow is excited to be in new york where the jets fans are excited that tebow is excited to be with such an exciting team with such exciting times ahead.


to summarise:

he might be gawn, but he wants his gimmick back.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Another example of the circus...

http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/03/30/san...edias-huddle-cafe/?module=HP11_content_stream

On his last visit to NFL Network, Mark Sanchez enjoyed chef Carl Matz‘s turkey panini so much that he ordered two of them two take with him on his way out.

Thus the “Sanchini,” the Huddle Cafe’s tribute to Sanchez, was born.

But the response to the Sanchini, made on sourdough bread with green onions, cheddar cheese and pesto mayo, was uninspiring. Kind of like Sanchez.

In fact, the Sanchini was so underwhelming that chef Matz was forced to remove it from the cafeteria’s menu.

Matz searched for years for a proper follow-up to the Sanchini. Something NFL.com and NFL Network’s employees could get behind.

The Sapp Wrap? Too filling.

The Dukes Quesadilla? Too spicy.

The Rich Eisen Special? What, exactly, is a Rich Eisen special?

Enter the “Tebowich.” Made on focaccia bread, Matz’s culinary tribute to Tim Tebow features marinated skirt steak, fontina cheese, red onions, roasted red peppers tomatoes and garlic aioli.

This blogger has sampled the goods and while I wouldn’t make it my go-to sandwich, the results are good enough. Certainly better than the “Sanchini.” I wouldn’t normally associate the combined ingredients with a hearty meal, but the flavors blend well together in a surprisingly unconventional fashion. The tomatoes and peppers add a certain sloppiness that I’d hope to avoid, but the end result is satisfyingly good. This is no backup sandwich.

Carnegie Deli can have its “Jetbow.” The Huddle Cafe has the “Tebowich.”

@AdamSchefter
Jets have told quarterback Tim Tebow that they plan to use him on special teams as the punt protector.

 

[Exe Gesis]

That position is called the "upback".

It's the position which most trick plays from the punt formation come from. Ie, expect Tebow to get the snap on 4th and short and run, or go out on a route and receive the catch from the punter.

Found this pretty interesting...

NFL Films Ranking Cashes in on Tebowmania

Eight Heisman Trophy winners are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. NFL Films thinks Tim Tebow is already a better pro than three of them.

In a program that suggests that NFL Films cares more about cashing in on Tebowmania than accurately documenting the history of football, Tuesday’s premiere of Top 10 Heisman Winners in the NFL ranks Tebow at No. 7. From USA Today, here’s the full list:

1. Barry Sanders
2. Roger Staubach
3. O.J. Simpson
4. Paul Hornung
5. Charles Woodson
6. Tony Dorsett
7. Tim Tebow
8. Earl Campbell
9. Marcus Allen
10. Cam Newton

Frankly, this is embarrassing. Campbell and Allen are in the Hall of Fame, but Tebow — a quarterback with 14 career starts and a completion rate of 47.3 percent — is already better than both of them? Doak Walker won the Heisman Trophy in 1948 and had a Hall of Fame career with the Lions in the 1950s, and NFL Films can’t find a place for him on the list because it wants to squeeze in two of today’s most marketable players, Tebow and Newton?

It’s silly to have Newton on the list after one NFL season, but if Newton and Tebow both have to be on the list then Newton should be higher than Tebow: Does anyone really believe that if the Panthers tried to trade Newton, they’d only be able to get a fourth-round draft pick, which is all the Broncos could get when they put Tebow on the market?

These NFL Network Top 10 programs usually provide an entertaining and enlightening look at football history, and this list would be perfectly good if Tebow and Newton were tossed out and replaced by Walker and another deserving candidate like Alan Ameche, Tim Brown or Eddie George. But the inclusion of Tebow and Newton at the expense of players who had truly great NFL careers makes this list insulting.

 

[Starburns_]

Wow.

Surely if they wanted to sneak a special teams player onto that list there's better options.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Agree GG. Newton is already past Tebow but neither of those two should be ahead of many others. s**t even Vinny Testaverde should be rated higher than Tebow!!! This is just insulting to so many players. Sabol should issue an apology.

 

[Exe Gesis]

It keeps getting more insane. Won't be long before he's running for President of the USA.

First there's EA deciding to put 'Tebowing' into M13

Source

We’ve been talking a lot about Tim Tebow’s image recently, from the way he’s portrayed in video games to the way his lawyers are zealously protecting his copyright by going after the makers of a T-shirt that doesn’t even have Tebow’s name or likeness on it. And now we have another story about the Tebow image, this one coming from a Broadway actress.

The actress is named Neka Zang, and she’s in the musical Rock of Ages on Broadway. According to TMZ, Tebow posed for a backstage picture with the Rock of Ages cast, but when Zang posted that picture on Twitter, she was asked to take it down.

“Well, Due to Tebow’s ‘image’ I was asked to remove the pic of him with us half dressed ladies. He does know we arn’t real strippers right?” Zang wrote on Twitter.

It’s not clear who actually asked Zang to remove the picture to protect Tebow’s image, but it’s an odd request: Tebow simply stood with four actresses, smiling. Zang described the actresses as “half dressed,” but you can see a lot more skin at any beach in America. You’d have to be awfully uptight to think Tebow is doing anything wrong in the picture in question.

So why the request to take the picture down? Apparently someone who’s awfully uptight is involved in the careful managing of Tebow’s image. Tebow has become a beloved figure for millions of Americans who think he represents everything that’s right and wholesome and pure, and with millions of dollars in endorsements at stake, Tebow has people working for him who want to make sure that wholesome image is the only image the public sees.

Paradoxically, by so carefully trying to micromanage his image, Tebow (or the people working on his behalf), may end up damaging his image as an authentic, down-to-earth guy. If you’re so worried about your image that you’re having your lawyers go after T-shirt sellers and asking actresses to remove pictures from Twitter, it’s hard not to question whether there’s any substance there at all, or if everything your fans find out about you is a carefully crafted bit of public relations.

If Tebow wants to maintain his image as the genuine article, he’d be wise to stop trying so hard to uphold that image.

 

[Shane Hird]

He's just so awesome.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Tebow is a money making machine now… not a person. All the people with a piece of the action don’t want to see it go away and they know that his play isn’t likely good enough to keep the money rolling for long.

This sums it all up really.

 

[Woodson]

That position is called the "upback".

It's the position which most trick plays from the punt formation come from. Ie, expect Tebow to get the snap on 4th and short and run, or go out on a route and receive the catch from the punter.

We'll have to wait & see how these plays all shape up in the context of games... ie: keeping possession and scoreboard ticking over. If the J-E-T-S botch plays (=cost games) on the back of a Tebow error/s, then it's evident the coaches will take the rap and Tebow will be crucified in the media. But on the flipside, the savvy J-E-T-S won't go down without a fight.. the AFC East/ Jets foes will need a strong running game - long drive capabilities to make the anxiety spread for Rex Ryan & co. when the clock becomes a time bomb.

In 2011, the J-E-T-S pulled two wins out of the FIRE, comeback in two others, won four easily, got smashed in two games, shot themselves in the foot FOUR times with costly turnovers and dropped two other games that were more about the D.

Tebow's impact in 2011 included:
Six come from behind victories, two other WINS, got smashed Four times and dropped a low scoring divisional game to the Chiefs.

The J-E-T-S will no doubt expect Sanchez to bounce back and lead the team behind centre. Tebow will perhaps chip in with some rotational plays to hopefully keep the opposition guessing but I can't see Tebow taking over Sanchez unless he truly stinks it up. Minimal chance of Tebow starting any games... unless Sanchez gets seriously injured.

NFL equivalent of Anna Kournikova.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Haha that's excellent

 

[tb_fanboy]

Yeah but Woodson remember that in Denver it wasn't necessarily being the best QB that got him selected, alot of it had to do with fan demand. He stayed there because he won games (yes remember, even a playoff game ) and all it takes is that. If he starts and then wins a few he stays in, the fans get behind him and it's hard to start anyone else

 

[ROSEMVP]

First Take is horrible these days because of Tim Tebow Mania.

I believe ex-coach McDaniels really pushed hard for Tebow. It was one of those bizarre first round picks because a bunch of scribes were not convinced of him as NFL calibre starter. Kyle Orton really didn't allow Coach Fox much option after a shabby start and then benched Orton @ HT in Week 5, 2011.

Here's some rookie season (2010) fast facts about Timmy:
* Initial 5 year contract with Broncos was mostly incentive based from which 8.7 mil was guaranteed.

* Tebow scored his first NFL touchdown, which was a five-yard running play against the New York J-E-T-S.



* Tebow threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Spencer Larsen on his first career NFL pass attempt, as part of a 49-29 home victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. He also added a one-yard rushing touchdown in the game. Was back up QB.

* Tebow's first start was a 39-23 road loss to the Oakland Raiders however Tebow became just the third quarterback in NFL history to throw for a touchdown of 30 or more yards and run for a touchdown of 40 or more yards in the same game. He finished the game with a 100.5 passer rating, the highest ever in team history for a professional debut.

* Tebow's first career victory came in his second start on December 26. The Broncos defeated the Houston Texans, 24-23, in Denver. Tebow helped rally the Broncos from a 17-0 deficit at halftime, as he finished the game with 308 passing yards and one touchdown pass. He also added a fourth quarter rushing touchdown, which capped the comeback. Tebow received his second Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week honor following his performance.

These are clearly significant achievements for a rookie QB with a much maligned passing reputation.

 

[tb_fanboy]

He really isn't as bad as everyone says. they all act as if he has no hope in being a successful qb, but he hasn't even started one full season. I think already that alot of jets fans are one the Tebow bandwagon

 

[camsmith]

Picked up an offical broncos Tebow jersey for $US10 while in the States... not bad.
