Have the New York Jets transformed from a circus act into a magic show?
There are few people who still have faith in Tim Tebow's future as a signal caller and one of them is independent quarterback coach Steve Clarkson who worked with the New York Jet during the offseason.
And Clarkson sure did have a lot to say about his belief in Tebow's ability to still make it in the NFL, claiming that his throwing motion has been fixed.
"I would hope wherever he ends up, they give him the opportunity to play, because if they do, they'll be pleasantly surprised," he said.
"I think the guy can still play."
The interesting thing here is that Clarkson reportedly only spent three days with Tebow in Arizona.
And as hard as it is to believe that Tebow's faulty throwing motion was miraculously corrected during that time span, Clarkson breaks down his breakthrough in a very simple way.
"The footwork is essentially what caused a lot of his looping motion," Clarkson said.
"A lot of what was happening with his throwing motion and why it was elongated was because of the way he placed his feet at the end of his drop. Right before he'd make his throw, his hips would stop at mid-motion, and the ball would come off in funny places. So that was one thing that we really honed in one, was trying to tie his feet up."
Sounds simple enough, right?
But this news brings up an even more interesting question: Why didn't the Jets organization or even the Denver Broncos coaching staff catch this so-called "footwork" issue?
Either Clarkson---who is not currently employed by any NFL team---is a gridiron miracle worker and the coaching staff on both the Jets and the Broncos is incompetent, or Clarkson is delusional and there is still little hope for Tebow's future in the league.
But whatever the case may be, the fate of the seemingly bench-bound quarterback remains to be seen as he is still under contract with the Jets and is pretty much an NFL orphan at this point, unless a team is enticed by Clarkson's revelations and wants to take a seat at the bargaining table.
