Jets not likely ready to play 2 quarterbacks

In the past, I’ve been accused of being a Tim Tebow hater, and that’s not simply not true. He’s a dynamic player, but I’m not sure he can be successful in a long term capacity as an NFL starter. Regardless of your personal feelings on Tebow as a starting quarterback, it’s a proven fact that […]
