And I’m sure I’m not alone. The Tebow maniacs quickly descended upon Jets fans once the trade was made, leaving the carcass of the Bronco’s alone. It shouldn’t be too surprising that a team like the Bronco’s is dominating the league right now after upgrading from Tebow to a psychically limited Peyton Manning. Last season as they won 7 of 9 games from October 20th on, they needed 3 OTs and only won one game by more then 1 TD (against the hapless Raiders). With a real QB, they have been pretty dominant for the season.

First off, there’s the hype machine. I’ve seen QBs win a ton of games and then just disappear when it came to the pros, Danny Wuerffel, Eric Couch, Colt McCoy, the list goes on. Sure some of them get a chance in the NFL, but most of them just disappear after a few seasons. I saw the great Charlie Ward decide on basketball instead of football, despite being one of the best QB’s I’ve ever seen, all because he was too short. There were people arguing that Ward might not even be drafted if he went into the NFL draft.

So what’s the difference? Well Tebow reeks of the great white hope. An outspoken christian playing for a southern team. Also don’t forget that following Tebow’s winning of the Heisman as a Sophmore (first ever) ESPN agreed to a new TV contract with the SEC. So it’s in ESPN’s best interest to hype up SEC schools as much as possible for their ratings. Other then Tom Brady, I’ve never seen someone so overhyped by the talking heads at ESPN. All for the almighty dollar and the ratings.

When Tebow doesn’t play, all you hear are excuses, excuses and more excuses. In Denver the only reason Tebow got a chance over the 2nd string Brady Quinn was because Elway was sick of his obnoxious fans. John Fox got things to work just right for them to back into the playoffs and beat a reeling Steelers team. Even after spending a first round pick on him, Tebow was never the future for the team, and nothing made it more obvious then how hard the Broncos went after Manning.

Now he’s in New York, and was really nothing more then a publicity stunt. Yet Tebow still thinks he deserves to play, because you know, he’s Tebow. Here’s a shocker for you Tebow, I’ve seen far better QBs, you know ones that could actually read an NFL Defense, never get a chance to play. Just ask Jeff Blake how that worked out for him? It also isn’t surprising your being skipped over, given your poor performances in practice.

The funny thing is, I’ve seen plenty of players on the Jets work their ass off and work their way up the depth chart. One of the most famous Jets ever, Wayne Chrebet, started training camp 12th on the Jets Depth chart. But when you show up time and time again to practice and fall to show any improvement, why do you deserve a shot to play? Because the Broncos were willing to change their whole offense last year to make up for your faults? That’s not something that’s common in the NFL.

With Tebow seemingly out of the picture, I can’t wait for him to be gone and his clueless dittoheadESPN fans to be gone too. The guy was never as good as ESPN tried to paint him as. He will never be as good as the hype. If you find yourself more a fan of Tebow then watching football, then I’m willing to bet you’ve never watched football before. The Tebow led Broncos were one of the most boring teams for 90% of the game, and then Tebow would scramble in the 4th quarter and do just enough for them to win.

It also doesn’t help that since the Jets were unwilling to play Tebow, ESPN and a lot of other talking heads who just follow suit have been mocking the team. Guess what ESPN, no matter how much you want to pressure the Jets, call them losers, mock them as a circus, you can’t tell them who to play. I’m glad the Jets stuck with Sanchez, if for no other reason then because ESPN has been screaming for him to be benched since game 4.

I hope Tebow disappears after this season. I hope he ends up in the CFL, which given how much ESPN covers the CFL it might as well be Siberia. The great irony would be if Tim Tebow goes to the CFL and ESPN starts showing highlights from CFL games. At that point you have to admit ESPN is insanely desperate to make Tebow into something bigger, and find a way to force people to think it was the coaches and not ESPN that was wrong about Tebow.

A few seasons ago it seemed everyone in the NFL that was a bit older but still had a ton of talent would sign with the Patriots. They would go to New England in order to win a Super Bowl. But now with the Pats being destroyed in the Wild Card, it seems the tide is changing. They appear to want Randy Moss out despite the fact that he will take less money to stick around with them. In the wildcard game Brady appeared to play as though he had a beautiful model at home to fuck the shit out of. Oh wait, he did.

The truth of the matter is, Belichek was a pretty bad coach in Cleveland. He hasn’t won a Super Bowl since Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel left. Although they were both are horrible head coaches, they appeared to have some talent when it comes to being coordinators. Belichek would have never lasted if he was stuck with Bledsoe. He stumbled upon Brady, which was like anyone hitting the lotto. But now that same fire doesn’t burn with Brady. He’s become complacent and comfortable. I can’t really blame him.

Now that the Pats don’t seem to be perennial Super Bowl, they aren’t attracting the Vet Free Agents like they used to. The years of late round draft picks means they haven’t been adding younger players like they used to either. It all combines for a team that is getting older, the talent is dropping off and their best years might be behind them.

The definite end would be if the Pats did let Moss leave. Welker is good, but he can’t do it all by himself. We’ve seen that already in the past. In Boston they are holding onto the hope that Brady is just shaking off the rust after coming off a major injury. It’s not the rust that is the problem for Brady. If you were a pretty boy superstar, how much would you not want to get hurt? With so much in front of Brady, why give it all on the field? He’s going to be hired for big money to be an analyst as soon as he retires. The last thing Brady wants is to have so many concussions that the rest of his life is ruined.

So what can the Pats do? The Truth of the matter is, I don’t care. In the end I’m a Jets fan and I’m happy to see their mystique go. I’ll admit it was fun cheering for them when they were underdogs to the Rams. But since then I’ve cheered against them in every Super Bowl and nothing was better then their loss to the Giants to cap off the undefeated season they had.

Now there is a new beast raising in the AFC East and its the Jets. Suddenly they’ve been able to make all the moves to bring in Pro Bowlers and older players who may not be as good as they once were, but still have enough in the tank. As long as Sanchez stays healthy (there’s those of us who remember other promising seasons lost to QB Injuries) the sky appears to be the limit this season. Let’s hope so, because its been far too long since our last Super Bowl appearance.

As you can imagine I’m happier then a pig in shit right now. But for now let me show you two things.

Its absolute BS that this Jets fan was dragged from the Stadium for no reason. A Chargers fan even defended the Jets fan and got pulled from the Stadium to. I’m hoping everyone will help to pass this BS around.

Secondly, the picture of the game. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this is worth even more.

Thank you again Nate Kaeding! Jets Nation loves you!

Now I don’t normally do this, but I ended up writing a much longer post over on SB Nation then I thought I would. So if you want to read up on my thoughts Just follow this link over there. I think its one of my better writeups in a while. I probably should have just copied and pasted it here instead of posting it there, but it’ll probably get more views there.
