For sure. Prater is money, and the pick six off Sanchez was huge. You gotta wonder, though... All of sudden their special teams and D are stepping up, right around the same time Tebow takes the reigns... Coincidence? Probably not. The "it" factor shouldn't be downplayed.

But that D has some ballers. Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil, Champ Bailey, Brian Dawkins... Not exactly suckers.

Tebow's conduct, behavior, etc could be making his teammates more productive. He could be making them more relaxed, more willing to work, stay focused, and giving that extra ounce of effort.

I believe that Tim Tebow is truly a leader, and not just called one because he's a QB. The dude is clearly exercising a huge amount of influence on his teammates, and its showing up in their play.

Re: Around the NFL Week 11

Tim Tebow is garbage and will be gone after the season. I'd rather have Rex than Tebow. Like most of you hatters up here said, they are winning in spite of him, not because of him. Defense, special teams are carrying the load.


As for Sanchez, aren't you glad Vinny didn't pull off that trade to go up and grab him? I'm sure as hell am. Also, I notice that Sanchez balls his ass off in the playoffs, but seems to be garbage during the regular season. WTF is up with that?

Guess you didn't pay much attention to that last drive, because he pretty much won it for them.

Yup, there's no f'ing way any of our sorry ass QBs are able to do that.

Because the Jets allowed them to hang around with their own shitty QB play. Why do fans always treasure somebody else trash?

With the game on the line he went 95 yards to win it. Gotta give him credit there. But other then that he sucked. Denver's defense kept them in that game cause Tebow and co kept putting them back out on the field. This Tebow stuff isn't going to last too much longer.

As I said before, kudos to Fox adjusting his gameplan to Tebow. If KS was running the show, he'd make Tebow pass 50 times.

Re: Around the NFL Week 11

The Jets a really not good. Especially on offense.

Sanchise nor Shonn Green have been able to take the next step out of mediocrity, hell Sanchise looks to be below average. He makes some really bad decisions on the field. Plaxico Buress has done nothing to improve that team.

One thing they do have is a great Oline, probably top 5 in the game. I know we all talk about it here, but a great Oline can do only some much for a team, you still need a smart, I mean very intelligent QB with a good arm or a system where an average QB can excel.

We will find out how good the Jets are when we play them in a few weeks. Or will we find out how really bad we are.

Re: Around the NFL Week 11

I follow the Jets probably as much as any team not name the Redskins. And I think Sanchez can play. I'd rather have him over the guys we have. He's made a couple of brutal mistakes the last two weeks, to be sure. And I think there are times when, for whatever reason, he plays nervous.

I mean Sanchez nearly led a comeback yesterday with under a minute to play, including converting a big 4th down. If Joe McKnight (who's fumbled twice in the past two weeks) runs out of bounds there could have been a very different ending.

SS, do you think Denver's d-line is that good or is the Jets o-line not that great anymore?

Re: Around the NFL Week 11

Tim Tebow isnt good, he just wins because every one he plays sucks?
Keep telling yourself that..........
He's got more talent in his jock strap than Grossman and Beck Combined.

Re: Around the NFL Week 11

I don't know where Denver goes with the Tebow thing after this year, long term you can't build a team around a college offense, but for now it's working. Give them credit for using what they've got to win games.

Tebow would be an excellent H-back. As good as his final drive was last night, it just shows that he is not going to be a bonafide NFL QB if he can't pass with some accuracy.
