Tim Tebow is a CLASS ACT, John Elway is NOT

Yep I'm a tebow fan for sure. Is the deal with the Jets set in stone? Thought I heard that a problem was being worked out and Jacksonville was back in the mix?

The deal is done. The hang up was that the Jets did not read the fine print in Tebow's contract. Tebow was paid $5 Million dollars in incentive money ahead of schedule based on his results last season. The Broncos felt they should get that money back but the Jets did not want to pay it. Jacksonville did read the fine print and was ready to pay the Broncos $5 Million back to get the trade done but was not offering as many draft picks as the Jets. It ended up the Jets and Broncos split the $5 Million so the Jest paid $2.5 Million to the Broncos plus the draft picks. ESPN said that Elway asked Tebow's input on which team he would rather go to between the Jets and Jags. As wishy washy as Elway has been all last season on Tebow makes me wonder if he actually took Tebow's input. Tebow is from Jacksonville, played College in Jacksonville and it would make sense for him to go back to Jacksonville. Plus Jacksonville needs a starting QB where as the Jets just gave Mark Sanchez a contract extension. As great a player as Elway was I would not trust him as far as I could throw him.

Gotcha..thanks for the update. I agree about Elway. Maybe the media has put that thought into my head but I don't really trust him. Just watching him speak the other day made me think he is full of crap but who knows. In the long run I'm glad Tebow is away from Elway and the Broncos. Maybe Tebow will find his groove in New York? Good wishes for Tim and his future in the NFL.
