President Barack Obama was a guest on WBNS-FM in Columbus, Ohio, (via the NY Daily News) on Thursday and took the time to give his opinion on the New York Jets quarterback situation that involves both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow.
“I gotta tell you, I dont like the idea of a quarterback controversy at the start of a season,” Obama said.. “So if I was a Jets fan, I’d be pretty nervous. Sanchez is not Tom Brady yet, but he led them to the playoffs two years in a row. I think Tim Tebow seems to be a wonderful young man, and he’s got just a great winning attitude. He really steps up when things count.”
“But there’s going to be a lot of tension in that situation,” Obama said. “So it’ll be pretty interesting to see how it plays itself out.”
President Obama certainly stated the obvious and it will certainly be interesting to see if thi experiment blows up in the face of the Jets.
With all the talk about Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, the player who perhaps can do (and perhaps has done) the most damage to the team with the things he says privately and publicly is receiver Santonio Holmes. On Thursday, Holmes (largely) avoided controversy in his remarks to the media, possibly since he spent the…
Antonio Cromartie is still listed as a cornerback, and not a wide receiver. But Cromartie says that if the Jets go through with plans to give him an extensive role in the offense, he’ll be the second-best receiver on the team. Cromartie said today on ESPN First Take that if he has to rank himself [...]
New Jets quarterback Tim Tebow has been trying to change his throwing motion since he entered the NFL. Every offseason, we read puff-piece stories about the improvement of his delivery and passing mechanics. It has never translated to Tebow’s real game performance, though, and that was evident in last year’s 13 starts, including the playoffs.…

According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie says that head coach Rex Ryan plans on using him as a wide receiver this season.
“They’re trying to make up a ‘Cro Package,’”said Cromartie. “So I’ll see what goes in there.”
“I believe I can do it,” he went on. “You got to pick your spots. You got to figure out what routes I can run, what routes I can’t run. That’s what we’re going to do.”
The Jets are clearly desperate for a spark on offense. The only legit receiver they currently have is Santonio Holmes. Aside from him, they don’t have any threats that can help quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Somewhere in Cortland, N.Y., Mark Sanchez started twitching, and he doesn’t know why. Wide receiver Santonio Holmes got some elder counsel Friday morning at training camp, from none other than Keyshawn Johnson. That’s right, the Jets’ high-maintenance receivers past and present, together at last. “It was a big brother-to-little brother talk,” Holmes said, via Rich [...]
Lost in the layers of drama currently enveloping the Jets in 2012 is the decision of a backup quarterback (non-punt-protector variety) to pop off about the layers of drama surrounding the Jets in 2011. Quarterback Greg McElroy, a seventh-round pick last year from Alabama, made waves in January by talking about the dynamics in the…
