Unfortunatley, we've seen Tebow start off similar to tonight and somehow manage to end with decent fantasy production. I'm a big believer in that trend failing to continue and hope it ends tonight, as I am playing the Jets D in a couple leagues.
Go Big Red!

I don't think Tebow is playing poorly considering what the Broncos are asking him to do. He missed one amazingly easy throw to Fells that an NFL QB has to make but his other incompletion was a drop by Decker. What's baffling to me is how they're not letting him run the ball or giving him some run-pass options moving the pocket. He's basically handing off all night. Asking Tebow to hand off all the time is like asking Adrian Peterson to be a lead blocker.

The Jets just stink. Sanchez can't lead them anywhere and Joe McKnight isn't exactly taking advantage of his opportunity.

If you look at the games in which Tebow has played, the opposing QB's haven't exactly been lighting it up. In two of the four games the QB was held to under 200 yards. The number of plays are just way down with Tebow in so I don't see how you can look at the first half of the season as it seems kind of irrelevant right now.

Wayne Obviously I expected the Broncos to be playing from behind (Like the Lions game) meaning the Broncos couldn't hand the ball off 50 times.

So remind me, does the Jets DST get credit for the TD?

Cassel and Palko combined for 15 while Moore put up 14. Who is Sanchez closer to - Stafford and Palmer or Moore and Cassel? (Your answer doesn't count Glenn! :D )

Wayne I'm hoping he's at least half way between the two groups and gets me a 23ish.

Missing that throw in the back of the endzone made me throw up in my mouth.
