Tim Tebow and the Jets are an Interesting Match

Following a slight disagreement about money, the New York Jets have acquired Tim Tebow and a seventh round pick from the Denver Broncos for a fourth and sixth round pick. Tebow joins a Jets team that has gone through some offseason turmoil. After missing the playoffs, the organization made some changes, including bringing in a new offensive coordinator, Tony Sparano. Sparano's use of the wildcat with the Miami Dolphins is what immediately peaked the interest of the Jets. They hope Tebow can add an additional dimension to their offense.

Of course, the complication here is that the Jets brought in Tebow to be a backup. They just signed starting quarterback Mark Sanchez to a contract extension. But if Sanchez struggles, as he has in the past, will the antsy Jets fan base call for a quarterback change? Almost certainly. This team's locker room had enough discord and negativity last year. This could cause even more problems. Tebow's sterling character and leadership is sure to be a positive in the Jets' locker room, but the team has to be leery of the potential drama of a quarterback controversy.

The Jets have received harsh criticism from the press, former players, and fans. I will withhold judgment because if there is one thing we know about Tebow, it is that he has the ability to prove people wrong. People called it a miracle when he turned around the Broncos last season. If he is able to do that with the Jets, it would be a monumental miracle. The Jets are the epitome of inconsistency and continually reflect the immaturity of their head coach Rex Ryan. The team needs a culture change. Now, it is Tebow Time, Tim's chance to transform this team through his faith and how he lives it out.
