No, there's no confusion. I know McElroy was out last year. Brunell was the only "viable" option last year despite all of the beatings Sanchez took. McElroy was the projected #3 last year, still is this year. Tebow is #2 on the depth chart. My response was to sg3 who claims McElroy is coming in if Sanchez goes down. I disagree.

Here's hoping that GS3 under center, and Coples on
the edge works out.

I didn't mean to say a thing about 2011. Just talking about this upcoming year. If Sanchez goes down with an injury (of any kind, even just a shoulder injury for a game)... who goes in? It's going to be Tebow, despite some who think that could never happen.

No one can be naive enough to actually believe that we just traded for the most polarizing name in sports right now to be our 2nd string FB, personal protector on special teams and run a wildcat play once or twice a game. The Jets made this move to push Sanchez and if he falters, then Tebow will bridge the gap to another QB. Does anyone honestly believe that if Sanchez starts the season poorly and we get off to a 1-4 or 1-5 start he won't be benched in favor of Tebow? Of course he will. If we wanted to simply bring in a marginal backup to Sanchez then we would've just stuck with Drew Stanton. |

If Sanchez goes down, you're kidding yourself if you think someone like McElroy will get put in ahead of Tebow. Same thing applies if Sanchez starts off the season poorly and we're in a hole. |

Only way Tebow will become the starter is if Sanchez goes out with an injury. That said, one interesting possibility is that if Sanchez does something extremely boneheaded, Rex might put the Tebow in for a series running the WC. That would give Rex/Sparano/Cavanaugh and company time to get into Sanchez's head a bit, then send him back in.

My only question prior to taking him was how tough he is he is pretty tough, however, I have not seem him take the types of cracks Eli has had yet, and hope I never do, we will see.

I love how this kid has lost the team to Tebow without not even taking one 2012 snap.
Should we even play the games? |

Yes, of course. But do you think he'll still have the reigns if the team stumbles out of the gate at say, 1-5? Are you of the belief that Tebow was only brought in as an occasional wildcat option?

If Sanchez comes out throwing 3 INTs per game, then yes. |

If the Jets are in a position where they need to throw to win the game, Tebow is the last person in the entire league I'd want under center.

Yeah, and if Sanchez "gets benched" due to poor production, and Tebow comes in, and performs like he did against the Patriots during the playoffs ala 9/26, 136 yards, 34.6%, 0 TD's/0 INT's with a QB rating of only 52.7 during a 45-10 loss? He'll be benched in replace of Sanchez much faster than Sanchez getting benched for Tebow. If some fans are giving Sanchez a 4-5 week window before "getting replaced by Tebow"; Tebow would have a 1-2 week window at the very most.
Tebow will never become a full-time starter over Sanchez. Never. Not unless Sanchez goes down for the season. Our front office didn't bring in Tebow and his career completion percentage of 47.3% to replace the franchise quarterback who we just signed to a 3 year contract extension. There's a reason why Sanchez is (and will be) getting all the offseason/training camp reps with the 1st team. Tebow will be used all over the football field, as the football play that he's meant to be. He'll be the center piece of a Sparano led Wildcat Option (Think Brad Smith, but much more affective), he'll be used in Goal-line situations rushing behind Mangold at 6'3/240+ pounds, he'll be used as a HB in order to throw opposing defenses off, he'll be lined up at the FB position in order to keep the defenses off balance etc, etc. We never traded for Tebow to become a potential replacement to Mark Sanchez. We'll draft during the first round for that. We landed Tebow to help expand our offense while complementing Mark Sanchez as an overall football player. |
