FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- One year ago, Tim Tebow as an NFL phenomenon was still fresh. Perhaps you remember.
Yes, we know, how could you forget?
He led the Denver Broncos to an impossible -- nearly impossible -- 18-15 overtime win over the Miami Dolphins, the NFL's greatest comeback since the 1970 merger. Tebowmania, which had already taken hold in Denver, was in full throttle on a larger scale. Much larger.
The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching. Will the"Yeah, put it all on us. We started it," a laughing Dolphinsguard Richie Incognito said in a phone interview Thursday. Then, more seriously, "A lot of things are said about the guy, but when he's in there, he's proven that he can win ballgames."
Seven months ago, the New York Jets completed a trade for Tebow. They wanted him.
"Tim's a competitor and a winner," general manager Mike Tannenbaum said then. "This is an opportunity to add a dynamic playmaker, and we're really excited about it."
In the Jets' seven games this season, there's been no magic, little dynamic playmaking and more talk than action. Other teams aren't "doing some of the things we do with Tim," offensive coordinatorTony Sparano said last month.
