Another day, another Tim Tebow detractor.
Only this time it's Jets' running back Shonn Greene who told a report it was time for change.
"Something's got to change," Jets running back Shonn Greene told Yahoo! Sports. "When you get to the point where you're 3-6, and losing and losing, a couple of guys are like, 'Oh, what would happen [if Tebow played]?' But guys at the same time have faith in Mark, so it's kind of an up-and-down thing.
"You feel bad for Mark, but at the same time you want to win games. We're not here to protect people's feelings. If you want to win games, you've got to try something. If somebody's not getting the job done, you see if somebody else can do it. It's the same with coaching, or any position. You don't mean to belittle someone or say 'he sucks.' That's just the harsh reality."
However, Greene said he was misquoted and that he supported Mark Sanchez.
Green, also, went on to say that Tim Tebow's play on the field often looks "ugly."
“I’m not going to lie. His mechanics, his throwing ... not looking like a normal NFL quarterback,” Greene said to The NY Post. “But you know what? He’s a football player. He makes stuff happen.”
Not the most glowing endorsement.

Jets running back Shonn Greene wants Tebow
On Wednesday, members of the New York Jets locker room semi-shocked the world with their shots against backup quarterback Tim Tebow.
Since that initial salvo, various members of the team (including Tebow) have weighed in on the matter but nobody’s words seem to feel as honest as running back Shonn Greene’s.

Time for Rex to admit Sanchez is not his ‘guy’
I am pretty sure I lost a bet earlier this season when I predicted Mark Sanchez would be benched by Week 10.
At the start of the 2012 season, things were looking okay for the Jets. All they really needed to focus on is getting through a tough first half, fix mistakes during the bye, and storm through a much easier second-half schedule.
But, the Jets did not do what they needed to...
Pete Carroll feels bad for Jets' Mark Sanchez
Pete Carroll knows a little about the media pouncing on their prey. He took every attack the Boston media threw at him while he was head coach of the New England Patriots. After his dismissal from New England, he went back to sunny Southern California and built a powerhouse USC program that turned him into an icon in those parts. Carroll also knows young quarterbacks and Mark Sanchez...
Anonymous Jets players rip Tebow
The horrid play of Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez along with the team's 3-6 record has some fans and pundits calling for the Jets to finally make the move and insert Tim Tebow as starting quarterback.
That might be a popular decision among the masses outside of Rex Ryan's tear-filled locker room, but inside, Tebow has anything but the support of his Gang Green teammates....
Rex Ryan: Tebow Comments “Cowardly”
Per a report from CNN’s Sports Illustrated, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan thinks the player(s) who called Tim Tebow “terrible” are “a cowardly thing.” Ryans comments are in response to an earlier report of over a dozen Jets players and members of the organization anonymously criticizing Tebow. Ryan is absolutely right; if you want to call Tebow terrible, be like the...
New York Jets QB Controversy: Shonn Green Should Make Beeping Noise When He Backtracks That Much
The New York jets quarterback controversy took yet another interesting twist this week when many current players said that they had absolutely no faith or confidence in Tim Tebow, opting rather to stick with mark Sanchez as the team’s starting QB going forward. As bad as Sanchez has been throughout the entire 2012 NFL season, it says something when the Jets do not even support...

The circus that is the New York Jets continues to roll on as game time approaches Sunday. The other day was “terrible Wednesday,” as it was chronicled that there were anonymous Jets players ripping backup quarterback Tim Tebow and calling him “terrible.”
By mid-afternoon, head coach Rex Ryan had entered the fray, saying whoever made the remark...
Matt Slauson: Real American Hero
Hyperbolic headline aside, Matt Slauson isn’t actually a hero. In fact, after the dirty block that he put on Brian Cushing that ended the Texans linebacker’s season earlier this year, he might actually be an asshole.

Column: If not now, when is 'Tebow Time?'

But for some reason, he's drawn the line at Tim Tebow.

Jets Owner Not Happy with Team’s Performance

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson probably knows about all the drama that has been going on with his team this season. Johnson still has confidence in head coach Rex Ryan and general manager Mike Tannenbaum, but overall he’s not exactly impressed with his team this season.
In fact, he’s disappointed.
“I didn’t sign up for a 3-6 season,...
New York Jets Release LB Aaron “Mayhem” Maybin. Sign Ex-Bears RB Kahlil Bell
In what some would consider a surprising move, the New York Jets released LB Aaron Maybin on Tuesday, November 13th. They also signed ex-Bears running back Kahlil Bell, adding depth to a depleted running back corps.
Aaron “Mayhem” Maybin led the Jets in sacks (6) in 2011 and was hoping to develop into more of an every-down linebacker for the Jets. However, after 8 games into...
New York Jets at St. Louis Rams: Three Bold Predictions
