John Fox: Tebow would be "screwed" running a regular offense

As Tim Tebow gets ready to take the field against the New York Jets tonight, in the back of his mind has to be the comments made by his head coach, John Fox, earlier this week. 

Though Tebow has led the abysmal Broncos to three wins thus far in 2011, Fox's lack of faith in his signal caller is becoming more and more evident by the day. 

Fox had this to say about Tebow on Tuesday (via Yahoo! Sports): 

"Do whatever the hell it takes," he laughed. "I mean, what the hell? You don't get points for style in this league. Let me tell you something: My man is really good in this offense. You know what I mean?

"If we were trying to run a regular offense, he'd be screwed."

I don't disagree with Fox's comments whatsoever. Tebow would, in fact, be screwed if he were running a true NFL offense designed for accurate quarterbacks to spread the ball around the entire field. 

What I have a problem with is Fox publicly criticizing his own starting quarterback, knowing that anything that is said about Tebow instantly becomes news. 

How can Fox possibly act as if he feels Tebow is the right guy now? Even if he doesn't, it's all but in his job description as a head coach to fake it. 

Come on, Fox. Think about it.
