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.
This is a full-fledged NFL disaster, and there is no turning back right now. The Jets have no quarterback, their receivers are awful and their coaching staff lacks common sense. There is no saving this team.
Some examples included Uncle Rico from "Napoleon Dynamite," Al Bundy from "Married With Children," the little kid from the NFL Play 60 commercial with Cam Newton, former New Jersey Net Brian Scalabrine and Lieutenant Dan from "Forrest Gump."
Here's the worst-kept secret in professional sports: Mark Sanchez isn't a starting NFL quarterback. But before you filet Sanchez with a butter knife, redirect some of your angst at the Jets' front office, which made this whole mess possible.
If you think there were plenty of empty seats this year, just wait and see what MetLife Stadium looks like in 2013.
"Just something to try to give back and show tribute to those families knowing how much they hurt," Johnson said. "And a situation where on Monday Night Football everybody around the world is watching."
Watching the Sanchez literally throw away the Jets' slim playoff hopes with a season-high five turnovers against Tennessee may be the final straw for Rex Ryan.
Chris Johnson went 94 yards for the longest touchdown run in the NFL since 2006 and the Tennessee Titans beat the Jets 14-10 on Monday night to eliminate New York from playoff contention.
"I don't even know how to put it into words," Cruz said. "There are no words that can describe the type of feeling that you get when a kid idolizes you so much that unfortunately they want to put him in the casket with your jersey on."
Head coach Rex Ryan, who obviously doesn't wear a helmet, plans to honor the victims in his own way by wearing a headset with the letters "S.H.E.S." while he coaches.
The Jets have three games to go. They could very well win all three but still not make the playoffs. But they have the right approach, maybe for the first time in a long time.
Signing Braylon Edwards sends a dangerous message to the rest of the Jets' locker room.
Dustin Keller and Stephen Hill did not travel with the Jets to Tennessee.
The Jets are ready to run right into the Titans in an old-school smash-mouth match-up.
