Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum called debates between himself, Rex Ryan and Woody Johnson "robust" but insisted that there is no outside pressure for him to start Tim Tebow at quarterback.
"There isn't," Tannenbaum said. "Rex, Woody and myself, we talk all the time. We have a great relationship and we have a good, robust debate about what's best for the team, but playing time is always going to be driven by Rex. We'll talk to Woody about what we're going to do... but Rex is in charge of who plays."
Tannenbaum said that the team definitely wanted Tebow, despite outside perception and a low playing time for Tebow thus far.
"Of course we did," Tannenbaum said. "If we didn't want him, we wouldn't have traded for him. Rex, Woody and I felt good about that transaction. Tim hasn't had a lot of opportunities...but we'll see how the next few games play out."
