Timmy and the Jets

Tim Tebow has been traded to the NY Jets for a 4th round draft pick.

I have to admit, this trade makes no sense to me whatsoever. Mark Sanchez was recently resigned to a considerable contract and despite having a "meh" year last year, he was good enough his first two years to get the Jets to the AFC Championship game. What's more, Sanchez is a bit of a fragile ego. He's going to be feeling the heat on this one quickly. If he screws up at all, the Jets fans will be screaming for Tebow to come in and that will only accelerate Sanchez's spiral.

There is also the culture clash. Coach Rex Ryan is one of the most foul-mouthed coaches out there and the Jets are somewhat known for being bad boys both on and off the field. Maybe not as bad as the Raiders but pretty close. Now you throw in the choir boy who openly prays on the sidelines. He may not say anything but his presence and actions may act as more of an irritant rather than an aid.

If I were a Jets fan (and I'm not) I'd actually be quite worried about what the heck the front office is thinking on this one.
