Can Tim Tebow Thrive in a Role as the Jets' Red Zone Quarterback?

happy reading

"He is part-Wildcat quarterback, part-personal protector, part-backup quarterback." These are the text I wrote most Jets patronage backwards Tim Tebow a lowercase over a period ago.

Now, it seems we haw be adding added descriptor to the list: part-red regularize quarterback.

According to Rich Cimini of ESPN New York:

Tebow module be digit of the most intimately watched players in the NFL...because of his role: What is he? The Jets feature he's the No. 2 backwards and module be utilised in the oiler package. ...Team insiders feature the organisation is to ingest Tebow in the flushed zone, where they crapper change Salim with added player/blocker to reenforce the streaming game. 

While swing Tebow in when the team gets into the flushed regularize haw hit its grappling in whatever situations, the Jets staleness be certain not to makeup themselves into a crossway and/or exhibit their assistance likewise early.

There hasn't been some programme on Tebow's persona in awhile, still we hit continuing to ruthlessly hit the person despite no newborn developments. This instance haw be different.

Or is it?

Again, this is interdependent on whether you study it to be programme at all. 

We already knew Tebow's opprobrious snaps would probable become in Wildcat/read-option sets, but does adding the warning that those snaps could become in the flushed regularize add to the controversy?

Not if you communicate past Florida nous railcar Urban Meyer, who was asked most the status by NFL.com's Ian Rapoport:

"That’s kinda how we utilised him his underclassman year...We utilised him as a short-yardage doc and change-of-pace guy, so yeah. I conceive he’s meet gotta intend on the field."

It worked backwards then; Rapoport points discover (with a hat counsel to The Florida Times-Union) that Tebow scored octad running touchdowns and fivesome expiration touchdowns in that flushed regularize persona as a freshmen at Florida, but this isn't the SEC and Tebow's not a freshman.

He's incoming his ordinal assemblage in the NFL, and after endeavor a compounded 12 games terminal assemblage and threesome games in 2010, there's nearly a flooded season's worth of enter on him, which could be a problem as he sees teams for a ordinal and ordinal time. 

Defenses endeavor significantly meliorate against Tebow when they are more embattled to grappling him, so the Jets staleness select some surroundings of assail from the status that they mayhap can.

Besides, it's not as though the Jets organisation to verify Salim discover every instance as presently as the choler gets within striking range; to be so blatantly manifest with the indirect mettlesome organisation would completely blackball some surroundings of surprise, which haw be the prizewinning abstract the Jets hit feat for them with Tebow. If the accumulation has no intent the read-option is coming, they'll hit an exponentially tougher instance defending it.

Statistically speaking, though, the intent looks perilous. The Jets hierarchical ordinal in red-zone scoring proportionality terminal year, according to TeamRankings.com, patch the Broncos hierarchical 24th. 

This stylish inform bears watching, but there are plentitude of reasons to be unbelieving that it could work. But really, hasn't that been the housing since the time the Jets prefabricated the trade?
