After Mark Sanchez threw the NY Jets out of a chance to reach the postseason, head coach Rex Ryan announced that he will be benched. No real surprise there since Sanchez is at the bottom of almost every quarterback statistic invented this year.
But, it would not be the Jets without headlines. Instead of naming Tim Tebow the starter since he is number two on the depth chart, won 8 games last year with Denver, won a playoff game on the road in Pittsburgh, and was the biggest player acquisition for the team in the off-season Rex decided the third stringer Greg McElroy would be the best fit.
"I'm going to put Greg out there. In my opinion its best for our team", commented Rex during his press conference today. Really? If Greg was so vital to the team, then why was he not activated for last night's game?
Are we to believe that Tim Tebow is really that bad? The season is over and you traded for most popular player in the NFL only to not play him. What do you have to lose other than the little fans left in painted green faces?
