I think the main reason Tebow’s trade value was so low is that because of his unique skill set and style of play, a team would pretty much have to rebuild the entire offense around him. It is much harder to simply plug Tebow into an existing system as either a starter or a backup.
Plus, all the Tebowmania could be too much of a distraction with him as the backup. I applaud the Jets for having the courage to give him that role. The fact that they like to use the Wildcat and their new offensive coordinator used it more than anybody at Miami, makes it easier.
Tebow may not be a classic drop back QB, but IMHO, there is no way having a guy with his talent, toughness, leadership and character, can be anything but good for the team that has him. One way or another, he will always make his team better, whehter he is the starting QB, a change of pace guy in the Wildcat, or barely plays at all.
I am a very happy Jet fan. This is beccoming a very, good sports year for me. First Jeremy Lin with the Knicks, now Tebow to the Jets.
The NFL is a passing league now,,,,not sure what the are gonna do with so many collge teams developing QB's of the style of Tebow.
