Many of us are fans of Tim Tebow, ... and Mark Sanchez. Thus, when we heard of the former Heisman Trophy winner coming to the Jets, we were in disagreement. Those who played the game knew that Mark would be surely distracted, and those of us from the New York area anticipated Tim would become a target of all sorts of things.
Well fast forward. An organizational disaster to be spoken of for years to come; seemingly an entire season lost in the career of Tebow; and Sanchez was embarrassed to epic proportions. So how did it work out for Tim and not for the Jets?
The Florida All American may now realize that his skill sets must surely be lifted to become a QB in the NFL; that you better practice like it's Sunday, ... can't just save it for the "miracles of Tebow on Gameday", i.e., many former teammates say his game performances are simply miraculous, hardly predictable by his mid-week results; that the NY experience finally got him to tell some authority figure that he disagrees, e.g, "Hey, Coach, Sanchez is out and I am not in? Ya gotta be kiddin'"; and it looks like he will return to his hometown Jacksonville. So, the fairy tale run of this Christian football player finally hits a wall in NYC, just like another polarizing historical figure we celebrate at Christmas time; but, now he gets a chance to apply all he learned to his next experience. And it will end up ok for him--don't ask me how I know, ... not saying he becomes an All-Pro, ... but I love that Old Testament lesson to Joseph, that hero of the multi-colored coats and things: "That which the enemy meant for evil, God will turn for good."
The Jets? Wow, what a classic Harvard Business School case for how not to run a professional organization. Political correctness is a daily commitment; Woody forgot it was the NFL and not a traveling circus; Rex is a good guy, but a great defensive coordinator, ... not a Head Coach. He would be my friend if he could take the truth--they crippled their franchise QB investment; even made this Giant fan feel awful for them when the legendary Steve Young made them a laughing stock on a post-game ESPN telecast (and Steve is a brilliant football guy in addition to Hall of Famer).
Rex: the pressure must be on the players, ... not you and ownership. Anytime so many players say they love to play for you, ... you know there is a problem. In any organization, the pressure must be on the point of sale, the point of contact, ... combat, the deal, ... not having you as the sacrificial lamb each week. So, Rex, go become the best assistant you can become, ... fulfill your purpose, and it's not as a Head Coach.
Tannenbaum, another "too good a guy." Somebody should have stopped Woody from doing this, ... because now Woody stays, and the GM and Coach are toast. A lot of lineman and receivers could have been gotten instead of bringing in Tebow. Ah, the fruits of political correctness go sour every time.
Sanchez, ... another good kid, what was he supposed to do? Maybe show his real emotions at least once like Tebow finally did. But in the end, if you stay, Mark, win the job back..., if you don't, enjoy the sun in Arizona, kid, or some enclosed dome and go be a good NFL QB, like many know you can be.
So in the end, Tebow is a better football player and more mature Christian today for going through the crucible. Sanchez will play elsewhere... or in NY without Rex and Tannenbaum. But it will be a couple of years before the Jets can rebound from the embarrassment of the "Suits" messing up the product.
In the end, honesty hurts and can cost you the Prom Queen title,... but when you know and speak the Truth, it will set you and all around you free.
Tim, you were meant to be in NYC for one year. Rex, you're too good a guy and defensive mind to be a Head Coach in the NFL. Mr. GM, sometimes ya gotta manage up. And Woody, listen to your advisors more, ... it's all about results in life, not illusions.
I'm impressed, I need to say. Genuinely rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is outstanding; the concern is some thing that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I'm especially happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
