[NFL!] Elway: Trading Tebow was a no brainer

[ljii (是否)]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. â?? John Elway the player was rarely conservative, and he's
proving to be the same as an executive.

Nearly eight months after making the biggest gamble in his new career as
executive vice president of football operations for the Denver Broncos, Elway
has no regrets about pulling off the two biggest moves of the offseason:
Luring free agent Peyton Manning to Denver, then trading Tim Tebow to the New
York Jets for a pair of late-round draft picks only days later.

"The risk was no one really knew about Peyton. There were so many unanswered
questions. We went through the process, got all the information we can,
talked to the doctors, and decided it was a risk worth taking. And it's
worked out," Elway told USA TODAY Sports Tuesday.

The Broncos appear to have clearly won that gamble. Manning is a legitimate
MVP candidate, having led the Broncos to four straight wins and a 6-3 record
heading into Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers. With another
victory, Denver would open a three-game lead over its biggest division rival.

Meanwhile, the Jets are constantly answering questions about when they'll
start Tebow ahead of struggling incumbent Mark Sanchez, a scenario
all-too-familiar in Denver. The Jets have lost three in a row, and the
offense failed to score in Sunday's 28-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Jets coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano have publicly
mulled expanding Tebow's role in the offense, but he's remained mired in a
supporting role to this point.

Elway said Tuesday that he doesn't want to forget the excitement Tebow
brought to Denver and its fan base last year when Tebow sparked a dramatic
run to the AFC West title. But moving on from Tebow and back to a more
traditional quarterback was the right move, even if it meant at least
temporarily angering fans who had fallen hard for Tebow during the Broncos'
second-half surge in 2011.

"It was a tough situation," Elway said, "There are Tebow fans and there are
Broncos fans. My responsibility is to the Broncos fans, and my responsibility
is to (owner) Pat Bowlen and what he wants to do, and that's win
championships. I base all my decisions on that.

"It's difficult not to get personal, because every kid that comes in, it's
his dream to play. But the bottom line is, my responsibility that Pat's given
me, is to give him the best opportunity to hoist that trophy."

Elway said the Jets' wildcat plan for Tebow was not going to work for the
Broncos.

"With Peyton being here, we couldn't have two different offenses," he said.
"We couldn't have a backup quarterback with a totally different offense. We
wanted to get back to where everyone was learning the same offense."

感想:
時間倒回八個月(可以看版上那時相關討論)
Peyton傷勢未明,Tebow正在人氣顛峰時,沒人想到八個月後會演變至此
目前看起來Broncos氣勢如虹,Peyton磨合完畢大殺四方,
這週SD versus DEN會是決定性的一場,
即使chargers 僥倖勝broncos,AFC west是否拿的下還很難說,
chargers輸,broncos等於宣告提前封王了
而chargers近況奇差無比,前天Turner還在記者面前崩潰發飊 -____-
近幾場只勝過KC,要面對Denver怎麼看都沒有獲勝的機會

但chargers至少沒有別的選擇,Rivers是現在球隊的臉,換不掉
(有人在期待eagles丟出Vick然後chargers撿他)
但Jets就不一樣了
Sanchez已經爛到谷底了,Rex Ryan還是堅定不移的會繼續讓Sanchez先發
然後讓Tim Tebow繼續當偽RB/punt protector  XD
雖然以Jets殘破的陣容換Tebow也不知道會好到哪裡去啦
不過至少以拼勁來看他應該比Sanchez好吧?
Sanchez讓人感覺就是心力放在不停的換名模女友上....

(then again, Tebow也新交了女友......XDDD)

這季其實娛樂效果最大的就是Jets, 每場開賽前後用關鍵字"Tebow"或"Sanchez"去搜尋,
就會找到一堆評論文章,有正有反,然後底下一堆戰面紅耳斥的鄉民....

推 JackTheFob:It's a Tennessee-Florida rivalry φ(._. )>
推 forgetta:小馬野馬雙贏 噴射機是怎樣我就不知道了
推 redplum:因為Tebow 也不是Elway的人馬啊

推 oberonz:如果明年Barkley選秀順位暴跌我想Sanchez跟Leinart兩位學
→ oberonz:長絕對也貢獻了不少心力 XD
推 oberonz:Tebow最大的問題就是你不想用他還會被球迷靠北到翻，我想
→ oberonz:現在Elway想到Payton開始大殺又甩掉Tebow應該做夢都會笑
推 oberonz:放眼整個聯盟有哪個backup QB會有這麼大的支持聲浪，不想

推 Phater:私心盼望Barkley能掉到後段被有資深QB的球隊撿到,最好是DEN

推 hunterqiji:覺得Jets死活不換掉Sanchez的原因是替補QB沒有合適的

推 Aldousphyx:5真的  人紅事非多  就因為Tebow不是傳統的QB
→ Aldousphyx:不代表其他人可以在他沒上場之前就亂下定論
推 mecheers:Phater大好像很討厭Tebow(?) Jets整隊被教練帶成嘴砲隊
推 Phater:應該說Jets的戰績差跟Tebow一點關係都沒有,因為他根本沒有
→ Phater:上場的機會. 但就根我當初Jets換來Tebow時預料的一樣,Tebow
→ Phater:會讓Jets成為媒體焦點,而且只要Jets戰績不好逼宮論一定會起
→ Phater:來. 而我不喜歡Tebow的原因是他完全是靠媒體捧進NFL,如果他
→ Phater:不是Tim Tebow單憑球技是不可能有今天的. 今年上場就不提了
→ Phater:                                                   不多
→ Phater:去年他在Denver先發的時候,不管是傳球姿勢,準度,read都奇差
→ Phater:無比. 當遭到壓力時就跟火雞一樣四處亂竄,或是把球亂傳. 可
→ Phater:是偏偏他這種亂傳亂跑卻好死不死能贏一兩分. 不信的話看看
→ Phater:今年K State的Collin Klein,他跟Tebow相似度很大. 看他今年
→ Phater:NFL選秀會第幾輪被選上就知道了
推 fluorine:今年的Collin Klein 變得好像會傳球了 還是他們的WR太強
→ fluorine:不過季前一直看新聞說 Tebow有下苦功練傳球 結果今年上來
→ fluorine:大概都只有跑一下而已 我一直以為Jets要把他練成秘密武器
→ fluorine:看來好像沒有這回事 但我不認為現在讓Tebow先發是好事
→ fluorine:不管對Jets或Tebow都會是傷害
推 seto:他也許不值得第一輪  不過至少以他在大學的戰功還是會被選進
→ seto:NFL吧  也不至於說靠媒體捧進  拿第一輪選他可能不太適當
→ seto:但是後面幾輪我覺得他是有機會選上的  他在大學也威了三年
→ seto:我從他UF時期就開始追  現在看到被這樣講覺得真是有點可憐
推 Phater:說他不能進NFL也許有點苛刻,可是像Jason White, Chase
→ Phater:Daniel, Kellen Moore這些大學猛將連第七輪的邊都摸不到
→ Phater:當初Tebow的projection是三輪後,而且會是一個賭博. Josh
→ Phater:McDaniels拿第一輪選他當時也讓很多人議論紛紛
推 JackTheFob:我看過的mock draft多半都是估Kleinsman第四輪
推 krajicek:我對Jets的嘴砲一點興趣都沒有XD
推 JamesSoong:有想要贏最重要  各種職業運動組的夢幻陣容為什麼總是
→ JamesSoong:拿不到冠軍?
推 oberonz:說到Tebow有下苦功練傳球，結果他今年熱身賽傳球動作比去
→ oberonz:年更大被球評大肆批評了一番
推 oberonz:另外說到大學猛將連nfl都沾不上邊，前鴉鴉的Darron Thomas
→ oberonz:現在在cfl當靶子隊
→ mrkey:Darron Thomas去了eh? country
推 krajicek:聽說今天Jets的老闆也出來發表意見了是嗎
→ ljii:其實不論Tebow好不好,能不能傳,ESPN今天的新聞最中肯
→ ljii:Jets' problem is Sanchez, not Tebow.
推 sampsonlu919:樓上舉的評論不能說不好 但我覺得NYJ的最大問題 其實
