Sources telling different stories on the Tim Tebow wildcat controversy.
My guess is that the Jets took one look at Tebow during off-season workouts, then another in training camp, and then came to the decision that they made a horrible mistake.
Tebow said "it just happened" that he didn't play in the package usually reserved for him, but multiple reports said he actually asked out of running the wildcat earlier in the week.
McElroy, the third-stringer who was starting for the benched Mark Sanchez, moved the offense for the Jets (6-9) early but faced pressure all game.
Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow are both active as Greg McElroy's backups in the New York Jets' regular-season home finale against the San Diego Chargers.
Today's eve of Christmas Eve game against the Chargers is an important one for the Jets, who know it's now or never. Whether they play naughty or nice, it's a lock that Santa will be visiting the parking lots at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. Rumor has it he's trading in his red suit for a green one. Here are a few tips on how to welcome Santa and some great Christmas celebrating ideas for your holiday tailgating party.
Reports are saying that Mark Sanchez will be the backup to McElroy. However, if Sanchez, Tebow and McElroy are active, Ryan and the Jets wouldn't be required to announce their No. 2 and No. 3 designations.
"I really haven't even thought about it," Sanchez said Friday. "Honestly, I'm a Jet. That's all I've known."
Tannenbaum and the ridiculous quarterbacks he has given Ryan and the coaching staff are the real cause of the Jets demise.
Mark Sanchez is right, he may not know who holds his future. All he should know is that his future isn't here.
Pettine "will effectively become a free agent after the season," Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported Friday.
There are two games left to play before an offseason of uncertainty begins for the New York Jets.
Yeah, I get it. You're ticked off. But what if Greg McElroy turns out to be special, and you sold your tickets to do some holiday shopping? Don't be that guy!
Mark Sanchez is no longer the face of the Jets. He could soon be a former member of the team. And Tim Tebow might even beat him out the door.
Apparently you can have too much Tim Tebow. The Jets plan to part ways with the high-profile backup quarterback this offseason, according to multiple reports.
Mark Sanchez, anyone? Anyone? The Jets "will attempt to trade" their embattled QB after the season, according to the New York Daily News.
It's been a rough week for Tebow. After all the hubbub this season, he was passed over for the Jets' starting job. And then there's this...
Some things take a village to build. It may take an entire nation to put poor Mark Sanchez back together again.
It all began as an intriguing idea. Then it all fizzled — before it really even started.
Mark Sanchez has been demoted and Tim Tebow reportedly has one eye on the nearest exit. So what's next for the Jets?
The former first-round pick, who was acquired this offseason to back up Sanchez, will request to be traded or released after the season if McElroy starts the final game of the year, according to a report.
"I was just pissed off," Grandcu said. "I lost $700 on the game. That's real money. I feel like Sanchez is doing all of these turnovers on purpose."
Winning is a habit. So is losing. And the Jets have perfected the latter. The Jets are so collectively detached that it's hard to know if they know the difference.
If you look at the big picture, Monday night's loss -- which mercifully eliminated the Jets from the AFC playoff race -- was a good thing for the franchise. And the comic ineptitude made it even better.
Mark Sanchez blew the second chance that Rex Ryan gave him. Now, it's Greg McElroy's turn to be the Jets' starting quarterback.
