While many people think that football players appreciate everybody on their team, it is not always true, especially with the New York Jets. It seems that the team has turned against Tim Tebow, according to most articles posted this past week, by saying negative things about their teammate.

"He's terrible." A defensive starter team member said this about Tim. Other teammates said that Tebow has not shown significant growth in his skills since arriving in Mew York in March. When interviewed by the Daily News many comments came out, and none of them were good. The comments were all centered around the same idea that Tebow is a gimmick, a specialized-use quarterback, and a Wildcatter who wouldn't be able to handle the game-long grind do the quarterback position. It seems to me that Tim Tebow is not appreciated by the Jets at all.

Guard Matt Slauson, who actually had the stones to put his name to his comments, was unequivocal in his support of incumbent quarterback Mark Sanchez, saying the distance between him and backups Tebow and Greg McElroy is "not even close... We don't really have a choice." Oh, and about those backups? "We have Greg... And we have an athlete," Slauson told the Daily News.

The players on the Jets all say negative things about Tim Tebow. He hasn't got much playing time this season. I don't see how his teammates, who in my opinion aren't worthy of that name, can say that Tim Tebow is a terrible player when he isnt allowed to play. On the contrary, Mark Sanchez, who Tebow is a backup quarterback for, has played all season and is doing terrible. Why he isn't criticized is a mystery to many Tebow fans. If Tim was allowed playing time this season, the Jets probably wouldn't have lost six of their nine games in this season so far. The big question all Tebow fans are wondering is "When will Tebow be allowed to play?"
