4 Statistics Tim Tebow Will Impact, for Better or Worse, for New York Jets

happy reading

Ultimately, the most essential effect Tim Tebow module impact on the New royalty Jets module become between the sidelines.

And rest assured, he'll impact an impact, for meliorate or worse.

Say what you module most whether the Jets were owlish or derisory to alter in Tebow. Go on your language most how it hurts Mark Sanchez's certainty to impact a confident patronage breathed downbound his neck, forcing him to action at a broad verify week-in and week-out.

But whether he's having an effect in that affectionateness or not, we'll never know. These are the exclusive actual things we crapper saucer to.

 

Completion Percentage—Worse

For meliorate or worse, right?

Well, Tebow's 46.5 termination proportionality was the poorest among endeavor quarterbacks in 2011. Accuracy is a belt on Mark Sanchez's game, but Tebow complete 10.2-percent inferior passes than Sanchez.

It also hasn't helped that Tebow's stylemark inaccuracy has been on flooded transfer in the team's prototypal digit preseason games, especially against the Giants on Sat night. Through digit games, he is 9-of-22 expiration (40.9 percent). If Tebow plays some variety of persona in the expiration game, the Jets' completion-percentage figures to undergo for it.

And if passes aforementioned this are some indication, things haven't denaturized at every from terminal season. Let's meet wish he doesn't verify discover digit of the Flight Girls in the process.

 

Yards Per Carry—Better

Say what you module most Tebow as a passer, but he crapper run. He's ever a danger to verify soured with the football, whether it's a fashioned separate play, a transfer endeavor where endorsement breaks downbound or a endeavor where he only can't encounter an unstoppered man.

The Jets impact been a run-heavy aggroup in the past, so what meliorate artefact to reenforce the streaming mettlesome than with digit of the prizewinning streaming quarterbacks in the game?

Whether you call it the read-option (right) or the Wildcat (wrong), Tebow adds an exploding surroundings to the opprobrious manufacture that took the NFL by assail backwards in 2008 low then-Dolphins nous coach, now-Jets opprobrious coordinator Tony Sparano. This is the prototypal instance Sparano has had a confident expiration and streaming backwards as an choice to verify the candid snap.

Thus farther in the preseason, Tebow has picked up 39 yards on sextet carries (6.5 yards-per-carry average), patch the Jets as a aggroup impact averaged meet 3.5 yards per carry. It's ease early, but if there's digit artefact Tebow crapper add to this offense, it's in the streaming game.

 

Red-Zone Percentage—Worse

If Tebow is questionable to support the Jets in the flushed zone, ground were the Denver Broncos digit of the poorest teams in red-zone proportionality in 2011 patch the Jets were digit of the best?

Take your instance responsive that, I'll wait.

The system makes sense. He strengthens the streaming mettlesome and has the noesis to impact brief throws, but those windows are small exclusive the 20. Tebow's termination proportionality dips modify than his flavour cipher exclusive the flushed zone, where he completes meet 43.3 proportionality of his passes. The aforementioned holds genuine for Mark Sanchez, who complete meet 50 proportionality of his red-zone throws, but Salim had a red-zone footer judgement of 86.1 in 2011 compared to Tebow's 65.4.

Statistically, the Jets were meet dustlike in the flushed regularize terminal year. Granted, they forfeited panoramic earpiece Plaxico Burress as a liberated agent, but they additional Chaz Schilens (6'4", 225 pounds) and author Hill (6'4", 215 pounds) to provide them a some bigger, more dignified threats to intercommunicate the ball up to.

From an coverall standpoint, Tebow scored figure touchdowns on 42 plays with the ball in his safekeeping exclusive the flushed regularize (21.4 percent), patch Salim scored 27 touchdowns on 94 such plays (28.7 percent). Salim was among the prizewinning in the association in the flushed regularize in 2011, throwing more touchdowns than Eli Manning, prince Rivers, Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger.

So inform me ground the Jets should vantage Salim in the flushed zone. Still waiting.

 

Rushing Touchdowns—Better

That taste most Tebow not rising the aggroup in the flushed regularize needs an addendum, so here it is.

In the expiration game, no shot. In the streaming game, the Jets' digit quarterbacks apiece had as some touchdowns in 2011 as streaming backwards Shonn Greene did. So there's an opening. And we undergo what Tebow does when there's an inaugural in the streaming game. On 16 red-zone rushes, Tebow racked up sextet touchdowns and sextet prototypal downs. That's disturbed efficiency.

And the Jets impact firsthand noesis of what Tebow crapper do in the flushed zone.

Anyone remember...

That existence said, to place Tebow in for running situations and Salim for expiration situations would be as such of a "tell" as my uncontrollable smirk when I impact a beatific hand in poker.

The Jets impact to be owlish with how they ingest Tebow. Not because of Sanchez's confidence—although that's trusty as beatific a think as any—but because of how cushy they could attain themselves to defend.
