NFL phenomenon Tim Tebow was traded last week to the New York Jets after the Denver broncos had required Super Bowl MVP quarterback Peyton Manning after the Indianapolis Colts had released Manning earlier this month. Tebow, who was quite a phenomenon through out the 2011 NFL season was said to have had a voice in the trading process. According to the Denver Broncos Tebow thought that he had a better chance of becoming a affective and winning player if he had been traded to Buddy Ryan and the New York Jets as a wildcat offense decoy. A couple years ago when the Jets made it to the AFC championship game 2 years in a row, the Jets had an affective wildcat offense with former Jet and now Buffalo Bill Brad Smith. Smith would come in when Starting quarterback Mark Sanchez had 3rd down drives and would run for productive yardage. Now head coach Buddy Ryan and the Jets are hoping to create that productive offense again with Tebow leading the charge. The bigger question regarding many people in the NFL and through out the country is how will Tim Tebow adjust to the New York City life. Even in a less media crazed city such as Denver, Tebow was still in the news constantly. Now that Tebow is in New York it will just create more fuel to the fire of the Tebow crazy media that has taken over the NFL. Joey Porter a NFL linebacker said is best last week when talking about Tebow saying “Tim Tebow is the Justin Bieber of the NFL.” We will see how this Tebow mania will play out in New York next season and I am sure it will be fun to watch it unfold.
