06:22 AM ET 03.23 | Did he or didn't he? Judging from the evidence that stacked up against him yesterday, it appears one of Tim Tebow's first acts as a Jet was to break the Ninth Commandment -- the one about bearing false witness -- when it came to describing how the openly devout quarterback became a Jet. Tebow claimed in an introductory conference call with New York reporters late Wednesday night that he had no say in whether the Broncos traded him to the Jets or the Jaguars -- the only two teams to make an offer for the NFL's most polarizing player. "I didn't really have any [input]," Tebow said in response to the first question on the call. "The Broncos had all that power. I was just waiting like everyone else." That claim was immediately disputed yesterday morning by Broncos VP John Elway, who told a Denver radio station Tebow was consulted throughout the day Wednesday after an initial deal with the Jets fell through in a money dispute and Tebow's hometown Jaguars rejoined the trade discussions. According to Elway's description, proof that Tebow had the final choice was the fact the Broncos ended up settling for less money and worse draft picks from the Jets than from new Jacksonville owner Shad Khan.

Tebow knows he'd be a god in Jacksonville, and he's not into that whole idolatry thing.

Elway's ego is so huge that he'd do anything to keep a young promising QB from supplanting his legacy in Denver. Only Manning (a HOF) could compete with Elway. Elway will ruin the Broncos

In order to believe that Elway is telling the truth, you also have to believe that he acted against the Broncos best interest and passed up a better deal from Jax. yeah, riiiiiight.
