It's official: Tebowing leaves the Rockies and into the Meadowlands of New Jersey. With the Denver Broncos officially signing former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, they had no choice but to surrender the player responsible for their rebirth last season. Tim Tebow, who led the Broncos to an improbable run to the AFC Divisional playoffs, was traded to the New York Jets. Well, the Jets need a 'miracle', and they got one in Tebow.
The Jets fell short of coach Rex Ryan's promise of a Super Bowl berth last season. Despite signing Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress, they finished with an 8-8 record, second in the AFC East. Mark Sanchez, the Jets' incumbent starting QB, was criticized for his poor play that led to their demise. With Tebow added to the mix, it'll be a toss-up between him and Sanchez on who will be the incumbent starting quarterback for the Jets next season.
Anyway, the addition of Tebow should help raise television ratings around New York City. Tebow's games were a ratings hit last season, and this should help raise the confidence level and attention on New York's other NFL team, after the Giants' surprising Super Bowl win last season. Good luck on Mr. Tebow in a green Jets uniform.
