People are saying that Tebow should be given a chance, and laying blame for game losses on Sanchez. That's a load of crap. For one, the defense has gotten worse each year since Sanchez' rookie season, and that lies mostly with Rex Ryan and the front office personnel moves. Second, the switch to Sparano as OC has been the worst decision in the world, period.
For those who watched Tebow against the Seahawks, they saw him revert to his side throwing motion. How can that be, when at Denver, Tebow had adjusted his college throwing motion to a standard above the shoulder motion? The only answer is that Sparano has allowed Tebow to decline to bad habits.
But it's not just Tebow's backslide in development. Look at the numbers on offense. Under Brian Schottenheimer, the offense was scoring more points each year. Under Sparano's direction, scoring has dropped dramatically.
| Year | Offense PPG | Defense PPG |
|---|---|---|
| 2012* | 19.4 | 25.3 |
| 2011* | 23.6 | 22.7 |
| 2010* | 22.9 | 19 |
| 2009* | 21.8 | 14.8 |
| 2008** | 25.3 | 22.2 |
| 2007*** | 16.8 | 22.2 |
** - Brett Favre
*** - Chad Pennington / Kellen Clemens
It was a trick question! -- It doesn't matter which quarterback is under center for the Jets, because Sparano hasn't helped either quarterback in their development.
Blame the front office for the constant personnel moves that cut into team chemistry, blame switch from Schottenheimer to Sparano, but don't blame the quarterback unless you're going to blame all of the other players, too.
