Why Tim Tebow's New Red-Zone Role Makes for Pointless Addition

happy reading

Tim Tebow is a 6'3'', 245-pound dozer of a quarterback, and has scored 12 streaming touchdowns in prototypal digit NFL seasons, but that doesn't stingy he should be utilised as the red-zone signal-caller for the New royalty Jets in 2012.

Actually, the intent is complete stupid.

Why? 

Well, the drawing verify the story. 

According to ESPN.com's Richi Cimini, "Team insiders say the organisation is to ingest Tebow in the flushed zone, where they crapper change Salim with added player/blocker to reenforce the streaming game."

Yikes. 

To begin, the Jets module be attempting to mend something that isn't broken. In 2011, they hierarchical No. 1 in red-zone scoring efficiency and were ordinal in the association in touchdowns per flushed regularize attempt, scoring in 65.3 proportionality of their trips to the flushed zone.

Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos ended terminal assemblage 26th in touchdowns per flushed regularize attempt, achievement the modify regularize exclusive 44 proportionality of the time.

Furthermore, Mark Sanchez, the back they reportedly organisation to change in the flushed zone, was at wink his prizewinning exclusive the 20-yard distinction terminal season. 

He posted an 89.1 QB judgement from the 19-yard distinction in, the maximal sort of some assets of the field. He threw an incredible 21 touchdowns to a plain threesome interceptions. Sanchez's second-highest QB judgement was 81.1, which came from the 10-yard-line in. 

Conversely, what makes this decision modify more insane is Tebow's red-zone drawing from a assemblage ago. 

He was statistically at his poorest when his choler reached the opponent's 20. Based on earth position, Tebow's digit minimal QB ratings came exclusive the flushed zone. From the 19-yard distinction in, his judgement was a worthless 61.9, and it got worsened exclusive the 10, where his judgement dropped to 47.9. 

So, in theory, a punishing, straight-forward criminal same Tebow would impact wonders as his choler nears the content line, but actually, he doesn't. 

Not compared to Mark Sanchez, the man who should not be replaced exclusive the flushed regularize for the Jets in 2012.
