On Tuesday John Elway said "If I wanted somebody to marry my daughter then Tim Tebow is the guy but to QB this team, he just isn't the guy". Tebow is the reason that Elway still has a job. Last year 1-4 and headed to being a laughing stock in the NFL before Tebow was given a chance and led the team to the playoffs and a first round win over the Steelers. Tebow's jersey sales were #2 in the league last year behind Aaron Rodgers of the Packers. In comes Manning, the only guy the Broncos get to make the fans forget about Tebow. I am fine with Manning and agree he should have signed with the Broncos, but Manning is good enough that Tebow could learn from Manning for a few years before given the chance to stat upon Mannings retirement.

After all this, Tebow thanked the team, fans, coaches and Elway for giving him a chance. Said nothing but good things about the team and was looking forward to his opportunity in New York. I wonder what the real reason for getting Tebow to come to the Jets is? Run the Wildcat offense in certain situations or help the locker room get a better player that can help change the culture of the Jets. Never heard of a 2nd string QB being the leader of a football team.

I like Tebow and understand he won't ever be the typical drop back gun it QB that the league loves to see. But for what he stands for and how he carries himself, he is a role model to all kids. My son loves Tebow and there are 1,000s of other athletes worse than Tebow that my kid could follow, but I am glad it is Tebow.

PS, my daughter turns 23 today and I too have no problem with Tebow marrying my daughter.
