I don't think Tebow will be getting a bulk of the second string/back up snaps in preseason like one would expect.

My hope is that the Jets actually like McElroy and view him as something more than a scrap heap #3 QB. A 2.5ish type guy. So, if Sanchez does in fact go down with an injury, It wouldn't just be Tebow, but McElroy would take the traditional snaps with an obvious heavier lean on the Tebow related plays.

In that vein, I hope McElroy gets snaps more in line with the #2 guy. My guess, however, is that Tebow, in addition to his spot snaps with the 1s, will get several full drives leading the offense
