The New York Jets have announced that quarterback Mark Sanchez will be benched this week against the San Diego Chargers, Greg McElroy, not Tim Tebow, will start.
The Jets sent out the following tweet: "#EA Greg McElroy has been named the Jets starting QB for Sundayâs game with the San Diego Chargers."
The bigger news is Tebow was passed over by McElroy, who was inactive last week. Tebow was signed during the offseason to be the No. 2 and when Sanchez is finally yanked, he's passed over? That in itself speaks volumes about how the coaching staff views Tebow and McElroy is not the quarterback of the future, so where does that leave the Jets?

Written By Clifford, Santa Monica, In the 47 years that I’ve been watching professional sports I’ve never seen more fuss made over an athlete who was less talented than Timothy Richard Tebow. To me, he’s the NFL’s answer to former NBA stiff Jon Koncak–a reserve center chosen by the Atlanta Hawks with the fifth pick in the 1985 draft. As I recall, Koncak was rewarded...

Combine the oversaturation of all things Tebow with his overly positive persona, and it can be easy to forget Tebow’s feelings in this season’s Jets quarterback controversy.
