Comments on: Ex-New York Jets Coach: Tim Tebow is Average At Best http://fansided.com/2013/01/11/ex-new-york-jets-coach-tim-tebow-is-limited-average-at-best/ Sports News - An Independent Sports Network Tue, 21 May 2013 05:43:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: anpel http://fansided.com/2013/01/11/ex-new-york-jets-coach-tim-tebow-is-limited-average-at-best/#comment-7480 anpel Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:33:00 +0000 http://fansided.com/?p=299360#comment-7480 Wow, talk about taking things out of context. Quotes that I read from Westhoff said " If you throw him in the middle of a drop-back passing offense, he will look very, very average at best. But if you incorporate him in different facets of your offense, I think he can be a factor. That’s what I felt we were going to do, but we never did it.” "When the Jets did pull Mark Sanchez towards the end of the season he didn’t even get the opportunity. Once cause he wasn’t injured and not dressed, but the Jets put in Greg McElroy instead when the opportunity arose. Incredibly surprising considering the rise of young mobile quarterbacks in the league that have added that stereotypical college zone read running attack. Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson were successful this year, and Cam Newton was successful last season. “That’s what I was expecting to see, and we didn’t do it,” Westhoff said. If someone was willing to build a read-option type of spread offense around Tebow it would probably work, but it looks like that may not happen. Wow, talk about taking things out of context.
