With the Denver Broncos signing Peyton Manning it didn't really leave a spot for Tim Tebow on the team. From the minute Peyton Manning became a Bronco it was made apparent that the Broncos were looking to move Tim Tebow. Teams such as the Miami Dolphins and the jacksonville Jaguars were said to be interested in Tebow. A day or two later the New York Jets jumped into the conversation within a day or to the deal was made with the Jets. With Tebow on his way to New York many people question why the Jets did this and if the Jets were really committed to Mark Sanchez. The Jets made it clear to everyone that the starting Quarterback is Mark Sanchez and that that wasn't going to change and that Tim Tebow was going to have his own package and run the wildcat for offensive coordinator Tony Sparano. Many people have said that this is a bad idea that you can't lead from the bench. That the huge fan base of Tebow's will be calling for him to start after Mark Sanchez has one bad game. Teammates have also said why are we getting another quarterback when what we need is more threats for Mark Sanchez. While this is true Tebow is also a threat to defenses in a different way. While all of this could be true these are all just the negative things that could come out of this move. Tebow could help with the locker room problems the Jets are experiencing and could significantly help the Jets around the goal line and on third down and short. While this trade could back fire on the Jets it also has the potential to work for them. I think this is a good move by the Jets to get a good football player who could potentially help this team.

It should be really interesting to see how both Manning and Tebow adapt to their new teams. Should be a great season.
