Add Tim Tebow to the list of people who know how to stop the Jets wildcat offense.\u00a0 There were reports<\/a> earlier this week stating that Tebow was not happy with the decision to start Greg McElroy and he asked to not be used in any situational packages.<\/p>\n

After 14 consecutive frustrating weeks, Tim Tebow gave up. He didn’t want to be part of the New York Jets’ circus anymore. He reportedly didn’t want to be part of the Wildcat package, either, and told coach Rex Ryan about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rex Ryan was asked if Tebow asked to not be a part of the wildcat and he said:<\/p>\n

First off, I\u2019ll say this, and I\u2019ve always said it about Tim, he is a competitor and he was disappointed. There\u2019s no question. He was disappointed that he was not named the starter. But with that being said, I\u2019m not going to get into private conversations that I have with players. But, was it my decision to use Jeremy Kerley in the Wildcat? Without question (it was). But I\u2019ll say this, I believe if Tim\u2019s number was called, he would\u2019ve went in and played. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any doubt about that. So that\u2019s pretty much it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ryan was also asked if the reports of Tebow and Ryan not speaking between Tuesday and Friday were true and here is Ryan’s response:<\/p>\n

Well, again I\u2019m not going to discuss private conversations. But I have discussions with players all the time, but I\u2019m not going to get into what he said, this or that, timing of this. Like I said before, I believe that if his number was called, that he would\u2019ve, without question, he would\u2019ve gone in and played.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In case it isn’t perfectly clear from his answer, that is coach- speak for yes, it is true. To read more about Tim Tebow and see fan reaction to this, please visit our New York Jets fan forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
