So that means we're keeping him.
And if we're keeping him, he is not going to be the #2. He's just not.
Mark Sanchez is going to get another full year to win or lose as a Jet, fan reaction be damned. In a new Morning-Whig System that depends heavily on a timely, accurate, quick-reading Quareterback.
Dreams (of some) for Flynn, or Alex Smith, or Moore, or any of the various lolJag's in the "related to Morning-Whig or new QB Coach" thread are just that, dreams.
At most, and journeyman will be brought in to replace Tebow (maybe) as the #2, and "challenge" Sanchez, i.e. not challenge him at all.
And Mark will be our opening day Starter at QB.
Worse, I think there is every possabillity we could open the 2013 season with BOTH Sanchez AND Tebow on the roster.

I agree on most counts. Especially the part about being saddened by this situation.
But if they bring in a T. Jackson calibre QB, and if Sanchez gets some good off season psyche counseling, I could see Sanchez beating out McElroy and T. Jackson or equivalent just since he has superior tools.
If this is all true, I just hope they have a quick hook next year in the likely case Sanchez implodes again.
As some others mentioned, I wouldn't mind a drafted QB instead of a journeyman as long as we don't reach in the draft.
Also if Tebow is back I seriously am going to try to get back into grad school or get a second job or have another kid or whatever to keep me away. I understand we have another 6-12 months of Tebow fan/media aftershocks, but I don't think I can take another full season of them.
