Tebow rumblings grow louder

08:04 AM ET 10.11 | On a day Jets owner Woody Johnson talked about two more years of Tim Tebow, Rex Ryan didn't help matters. [Ryan], in perhaps his most revealing comments yet on the team's simmering quarterback controversy, wouldn't commit to the slumping Mark Sanchez beyond Sunday. "I'm telling you right now, he's our starting quarterback this week," Ryan said Wednesday. It didn't sound like a long-term commitment, not with the "this week" qualifier. Pressed on the matter, Ryan replied, "What do you want me to say? He's our starter. He's our starter this week." It was a stark contrast to a comment he made last November, when Sanchez was struggling. One day after losing to the Denver Broncos -- and Tim Tebow, by the way -- Ryan gave Sanchez an iron-clad endorsement.

We all know the change is coming. They might as well pull the trigger and do it.

Again? We've got this thread again? Can't we take pennicilin or something to get rid of it?

I'm sorry DD but medical science has yet to find a cure for the dreaded "thredamus Tebownia"

Just put him in, sign TO, and give Rexy that sideline buffet table he's always wanted. If you can't be a winner you may as well have some fun.

How about if we all get down on one knee, bow our heads, and...

I am so sick of hearing about the effing Jets and Tebow, what is the medias' fascination with this train wreck?

Rex might be reluctant to concede that his first draft pick as a head coach might contribute to his eventual firing.

Probably because, like you said, they're a train wreck.

We all keep reading about it and commenting on it. Kinda like picking a scab. You know you shouldn't but.........

This situation requires triage. Remove Rex, Sanchez and Timbo and then send the patient to PT. Anything else is just a band aid move.

Rex is praying that an act of God will take Sanchez out of action, so that he can't be criticized for the Tebox switch, which is coming.

Headline should read: "Ryan Firing Rumblings Grow Louder." Or maybe "Tannenbaum Firing Rumblings Grow Louder."
