Sanchize Player, Talkin' About Tebow?

How perfect is the practice/exciting corollary?

Anyways I know I'm a few days late here but based on the "Deal or No Deal" aspect of this Tim Tebow to the Meadowlands saga I wanted to make sure everything was set in stone before I wrote anything. And boy, am I excited now that I can write about it. 

I mean really, it's exciting anytime you get the chance to hold a press conference to introduce a backup quarterback. I was excited when the Patriots held theirs to introduce Rohan Davey back in 2002, and it was even more exciting when they introduced Matt Cassel the same way in 2005. And who could forget Vinny Testaverde causing excitement the following year in 2006? Really, really, exciting. 

And therein lies the difference between the Foxboro way of doing things and the Jets way of doing things. Hell I don't think any franchise across the four major sports would ever take the time to hold a press conference to introduce a backup at any position. I mean did the Red Sox hold a press conference when they signed Julian Tavarez to set up for Jonathan Papelbon? I don't recall the Bruins holding a presser when Alex Auld came on to back up Tim Thomas. It just further confirms the running joke that is the New York Jets franchise.

Perhaps the best part of this whole thing? The Jets have maintained all along that Sanchez is their starting quarterback. They've also been on record as saying they want a backup who can at least push Sanchez, take him out of his comfort zone. With all apologies to Mark Brunell....wait a second is it possible that Tebow could push Sanchez less than the former Jacksonville Jaguars great?

At the end of the day, though, it all makes perfect sense. Rex Ryan is obsessed with the spotlight. He's obsessed with stealing headlines from the Giants. He's obsessed with beating the Patriots, and the combination of all three creates such the circus he desires. Isn't adding Tebow to the mix just another ring? Not a Super Bowl ring, of course, but a circus ring. We saw what happened in Denver last year when Kyle Orton struggled. In Denver. Not New York. All I'm saying is that if Mark Sanchez and the Jets get off to a 1-3 start, which is entirely possible when you have no running game and an aging defense on top of an already questionable quarterback....Rex Ryan just might've done it again.
