Apparently the plethora of MRI results that were sent to numerous doctors have come back to the New York Jets and it is not good news.
As our Senior Analyst, Jon Wilhelm, wrote earlier today, Holmes is indeed done for the year. Head Coach Rex Ryan announced today that the MRI revealed a Lisfranc injury to the foot of Holmes that will require season ending surgery. If you did not think the Jets season was done before, this will probably be the proverbial nail in the coffin.
Now, far be it from me to declare a season over after only 4 games, but does even the most optimistic Jets fan believe they can recover from the loss of Holmes? Can you find many that would admit to thinking they were still alive after the Revis injury? You would be hard-pressed to find either.
Their will likely be only a few questions left in the 2012 season for the Jets. How bad can things get, and how long until we see Tim Tebow get a much increased workload?
Even if you don’t think Sanchez is the biggest reason for the team’s lackluster play, the situation is screaming for Tebow, isn’t it? With the team going nowhere fast, even if you don’t make the complete QB change to Tebow, he has to touch the ball more. Prior to the season, we all wondered if Sanchez would make it through the first four weeks of the season and keep his starting job. Sanchez has not played well, but with a healthy team, he might have been able to hold onto the starting position. But with all that has transpired, I don’t think Tebow will get less than 30% of the snaps come week 17. With the lack of offensive play makers, we could be seeing even more than that, and it could happen much sooner as well.
