JETSBO


 
The proper way for the New York Jets to utilize Tim Tebow is to reinvent Paul Hornung, Notre Dame quarterback and Green Bay Packers halfback, by using Tebow strictly as a halfback. Tebow is bigger and faster than Hornung and surely he is competitive with "The Golden Boy" in passing. When a defense encounters a quarterback who can run or a halfback who can throw (and is called upon often to use this option), then it has a more difficult task. Difficulty in decision-making by corners, safeties and linebackers also significantly increases the likelihood of errors by the defense. Any team that can utilize two effective ball-tossers will have an advantage over the defense substantially greater than a team that employs only a single ball-tosser. That seems to be common sense. Further, this ability ought to spread defenses, confuse defenses and importantly tire defenses, hastening the opponents collective demise.
