Eta: do you think any NFL team gave him a real shot to be himself? I don't. .. so we can't know if he would have been a great NFL QB


Denver gave him a very real shot. Go look at his numbers from 2011 and tell me there's a hint of greatness there. 18 total TDs, 12 turnovers.

To the OP: 4 more years would have given him 7 total years in the NFL, assuming he makes the switch after his stint in NY. That's longer than the average NFL career. Without having any evidence to how good he could have been at another position, I wouldn't be willing to assume he would have met that mark.

Meh.....as a Jets fan kind of pissed that my organization thinks Gino Smith deserves a shot after being a turnover machine but that Tebow shouldn't throw 1 pass after taking Denver to the playoffs

Tell me...what did he do that season?

He won, plain and simple. Took the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time in years and got past divisional round in standard Tebow fashion.

He was 24 as well. Absolutely zero shot a kid that age could possibly improve under a good QB coach, you're right. Never happens
