I don't think is wholly about Tebow so much as it is about how bad Sanchez sucks. And I like Sanchez. I thought he'd turn out this season like Eli Manning, but he has completely regressed and lost his composure. Tebow is a way better fit for that offense right now and I don't think I could buy any argument to the contrary. But it appears Rex Ryan is gonna captain that ship to the bottom of the ocean no matter what. Jets'll probably clean house come the end of the season. Dunno who they'd go after in this flimsy draft, though.

Hard not to agree with that. I'm perplexed at why Tebow isn't starting yet. I guess it's not like the Orton situation where our investment in him was really minimal. Starting Tebow means the utter end of Sanchez, and zeroing out his trade value (is he a FA? not sure). Either way, though, I can't see how Rex Ryan makes it another season as their coach. I'd think this was a straw worth grasping for.

Hard to believe but they just reinked Sanchez this offseason. For way more than anyone else would be willing to take on.

Sanchez is the reason they suck.watch a jets game. If I wore a josh mcdaniels jersey to mile high, I wouldn't **** out about the abuse.it's deserved. Sanchez is the orton of the east...if I were a jets fan I would be livid. Let tebow play...

I've had dealings with this guy before....he does not respect other fans...he tries to be a loud mouth bully and it's all backfiring now.

The guy is a classless hack.

Yeah, ive heard a bunch of stories about him squashing anyone who tries to get in on his power. Not to mention, the free tix and such.

I used to go to Jets games in the 1980's (he was around, but it was pre-fireman), but there was a guy in a klecko jersey that used to lead the chant on the other side of the field. That poor guy got nothing! Anyone from the tri-state area remember him? He used to wave a towel to signal the cheer was coming

[Rohirrim]

I haven't watched Sanchez enough to know about all the attacks on him, but I did watch the Jets game against Miami a few weeks ago. What stood out to me was how many dropped passes there were and how many times his receivers were in the wrong place. It was kind of startling. I don't see Sanchez getting any help out of that offense. Maybe that's why Ryan doesn't go with Tebow. He realizes it wouldn't make any difference because his players on offense suck. Sanchez' top receivers are Stephen Hill and Jeremy Kerley. His top TE is Konrad Reulan. Who the **** is that? You might ask.

I've had Kenny Loggin's "Danger Zone" pumping through my head for the last three days now, with, of course, the replacement lyric being "Anal Zone." I think I'm about to go crazy.

Sounds a lot like The Leprauchan for Denver but I hope to God Broncos never give that Jackhole anything of value as his most prized asset for himself is being shown on the big screen. Makes me miss Barrel Man more and more. Great guy and was about being a great fan and making everyone have that home field advantage feeling.

I really think he will watch The Fan with Snipes and think that is a good idea for his love affair with Tebow. At least MacGruder left within days of his departure. Let us hope he is gone for good.

[Popps]

Yeah, this guy put himself in the limelight. So, in a place like NY... shouldn't be surprised that it just might backfire.

That said, I also sort of understand his point. People are getting killed in NFL stadium parking lots these days. I wouldn't put my life on the line for Mark Sanchez, either... no matter how much I loved my team.

As for Tebow, he is what he is. But don't tell me if he was inserted as a starter that you wouldn't watch. We all would... just to see what happened. Can you blame Jets fans for being upset that the kind never saw the field considering the train-wreck they're watching?

In any case, it's just nice to be free of a QB controversy, finally.

Fireman Ed then complains Jets fans are uncivil and heckling him (GASP! NEW YORKERS ARE a-holeS? OHMAIGAWD NOWAI!) because he chooses to wear the jersey of a suck balls player.

The immediate conclusion you jump to is that Tebow superfans made Fireman Ed quit.

I'd watch.....but not until halfway through the fourth quarter.

[Old Dude]

Sanchez isn't very good, but he's just part of the problem there.

They don't have a legitimate pass-rusher and with Reevis out, their secondary has been exposed.

They took a big hit on the O-Line and their "power" running game has fizzled.

Sanchez lost his best receiver and no one has stepped up. Except for opposing defensive backs who are stepping up to grab the INTs.

Add in all the media scrutiny they invite (as if being in that market wasn't bad enough to begin with).

If Tebow hadn't had damaged ribs, I think they might have given him a shot last week. But I don't think anyone could do much with that team right now.

The funny thing is that they have a pretty soft schedule from here on out and could still stumble to three more wins - just enough to drop them out of prime drafting position.

It would be a really sad situation if I gave a damn.

not sure what "power" he has....but then again some "fans" can become somewhat iconic like the Hogs in Washington, the Crazy Ray in Dallas, Barrelman in Denver, and that fat slob Big Dawg Thompson in Cleveland.

And I think they are regular season ticket holders, and don't get a hand out from the team or the owner....now maybe he gets free sodas or nachos, but that's nothing much in my opinion....afterall one of the reasons he's stopping his schtick is due to people thinking he's on the Jets payroll.

My best guess is he wears the Sanchez jersey because the team asked him to

he's most certainly on the payroll...he's been featured in their in stadium videos and such

He claims he isn't. Also, more than a few Broncos fans appear in Broncos videos. Notably DiscoMan. I don't think (but don't know for sure) they're paid. I guess my point is being in a video doesn't guarantee a check.

[RedskinBronco]

If it's true that he is a bully, then he deserves what he got.

I don't know the guy, but if he instigating then he is just as classless as any a-hole instigating him.

Of course he won't say he is, but I'd be willing to bet he is. And most jet fans assume the same. And these videos were fireman Ed centric. Not shot at games

Elway's last home game. Not the prettiest, but a sentimental win.
