* As the Jets’ 2012 season mercifully comes to an end, the Tim Tebow saga certainly becomes a lot clearer. It seems the only person who really wanted Tebow on the Jets was owner Woody Johnson and that was not to play quarterback, but to sell season tickets and interest his fan base in his below-average team. Once Johnson sold whatever season tickets he could, he stepped aside and let Rex Ryan and Tony Sparano figure out what to do with Tebow, which ended up being to just hold a clipboard, run in the rain with his shirt off and answer media questions. Tebow handled everything with class and the Jets never gave him a chance. It’s no surprise Ryan won’t play Tebow at the end of the season. Ryan can only look bad if Tebow does well and the fans question why Ryan didn’t play him earlier, when Mark Sanchez was struggling. The Rex Ryan Era: What a ride for us Jets fans!

* The Jets’ circus is not fun for anyone, so let’s hope owner Woody Johnson puts the blame where it belongs and fires coach Rex Ryan. He has little credibility with many of his players and almost no credibility with the fans and the media. We fans also never want to see Mark Sanchez under center again in a Jets uniform. Please, Woody, have mercy and dump these losers. Both are mentally and emotionally hopeless basket cases.

* Rex Ryan wants to be the Jets’ coach for the next 15 years. Does that mean we have to wait until 2029 before the Jets win another Super Bowl?

Don’t blame Eli
* As a longtime Giants fan, I am disappointed with the collapse of the 2012 season, but I am equally disappointed with the way The Post depicted Eli Manning this past weekend. The front page had the headline “What A Bum!” with Manning on his back and the back page had Manning once again above the caption “Blah Humbug.” How quickly we turn on our heroes. Manning has been the MVP of this team for the past five years and has always deflected the positive attention away from himself and onto the team. The team collapsed, and yet Manning is now the poster child of this failed season. The media should give him more respect than that. He most certainly has earned as much.

Cutting down Nets
* Coach Avery Johnson was fired by the Nets this week. I’m sure the Nets’ ownership was aware Johnson has a career winning percentage of .577 as an NBA coach. How does that compare with some other big name NBA coaches? Here’s how: Mike Woodson, .449; Kevin McHale, .471; Mike D’Antoni, .533; Doc Rivers, .556. All of those coaches have worse won/loss records than Johnson, which makes someone in the Nets management an absolute genius or an absolute idiot. I believe it could be the latter.

* The Nets fired Avery Johnson as I said they should have. Now it’s time for them to hire Phil Jackson.
EDWARD DROSSMAN

* Phil Jackson is not a basketball guru. He has only been successful when he could field the best talent in the league. He won six championships with Michael Jordan, but could not win the two years Jordan took off. He won when he had Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. Who couldn’t? He would not have that advantage in Brooklyn. To be winners, the Nets need a smart guy, not a guy who is used to being so talent-rich he puts the team on automatic pilot.
