Tebow’s lone season with the Jets was a bust. During the preseason, fans and media were told that the team would use Tebow in a variety of ways on offense. That never happened as Tebow accounted for just 141 yards the entire season.

“It was a mess,” Westhoff told 560 WQAM In Miami. “It was an absolute mess. You can say whatever else you want, it was really a mess. I was very, very disappointed. There are things that Tim Tebow, as an NFL quarterback, he’s very limited in some things. If you throw him in the middle of a drop-back passing offense, he will look very, very average at best. Bust if you incorporate him in different facets of your offense, I think he can be a factor. That’s what I thought we were going to do, but we never did it.”

Tebow played in just 77 offensive plays for the Jets this season, which ranked 21st on the team.
