07:57 AM ET 01.21 | There remains at least a fair amount of public perception that Tim Tebow's arrival in New York started with owner Woody Johnson. [But] that's not how it was presented to at least one GM candidate in his interview with the Jets. Former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist, who interviewed for the job nine days ago, said Johnson told him it wasn't his idea. According to Sundquist, Johnson said the trade was "forced" on them -- meaning him and team president Neil Glat, who also participated in the interview. That makes it sound like Johnson was blaming former GM Mike Tannenbaum for the Tebow debacle; in a sense, Johnson did exactly that, firing Tannenbaum. Johnson also said, according to Sundquist, that he eventually "jumped on board" with the idea.

If Tim ends up in Canada will we still get a daily Tebow?

First thing I saw on Twitter this morning;
@ProFootballTalk
Jets owner went from "I think you can never have too much Tebow" to saying Tim was "forced" on him http://wp.me/p14QSB-6WYD

Easiest to just blame the guy who just got fired. It sweeps it all clean. What a tool.

The team owner says the Tebow trade was "forced" on him. Yeah... I don't buy that one at all. The J-E-T-S just can't help but embarrass themselves, I guess.

I guess Woody has a sign on his desk that says " The Buck Stops There."

As someone that is fed Cards games week after week and seeing the disasters at QB, all I have to say is Tebow must be horrible to get this rep and not even played a full season of games.

Tannenbaum: "Listen Woody, I'm going to bring this Tebow guy in here..you got it?"
Woody: "OK, Mike...whatever you say....you're the boss."
Uh, nope don't pass the smell test. Woody was behind it from the start and now doesn't want to look like a fool. He missed that chance.

As a life long Jets fan,I feel that Woody is probably the biggest hindrance to the team's success. Of course he wanted Tebow. And Rex never did. Hopefully,new GM Idzik will bring some order and Woody will retreat to the background.
