The New York Jets have announced that Mark Sanchez will be the team’s starting quarterback against the Buffalo Bills in the Week 17 regular season finale on Sunday. Head coach Rex Ryan announced the move this morning.
Ryan also announced that Greg McElroy, who had started last week, is “definitely out” for the finale on Sunday against the Bills. He has a concussion, which was most likely suffered during one of his 11 sacks last weekend in a 24-14 loss against the San Diego Chargers.
Ryan did not say as to whether or not Tim Tebow would be active or if he would see the field. It was rumored that Tebow asked out of the wildcat package plays that the Jets used last Sunday against the Chargers, although Tebow says those reports are false. Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley was used in those sets instead.

Mark Sanchez will get the start at quarterback Sunday in the Jets' season finale against Buffalo.Fantasy Spin:It's pretty much by default as Greg McElroy has been ruled out with a concussion.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has informed quarterback Mark Sanchez that he’ll start in the season finale.
The reason Sanchez is getting the start is because Greg McElroy is currently being evaluated for a concussion. Of course Tim Tebow isn’t happy at all about this.
Without the circus that is the Jets, I wouldn’t be able to laugh as much I have been.

What better way for the New York Jets to end their season than to start the quarterback who was once the starter, then got benched, then started again, then got benched again and is now preparing to be under center to close out the year. Greg McElroy is still suffering from concussion-like symptoms, which means Mark Sanchez is starting against the Buffalo Bills this weekend.

It's a been a difficult year in New York for Tim Tebow and the Jets, and in a recent interview with ESPN, the polarizing QB tried to set the record straight on a few things.
Jets Start Sanchez, McElroy Out With Concussion
The New York Jets (6-9) will start Mark Sanchez in place of Greg McElroy this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills (5-10). McElroy developed severe headaches Thursday morning while lifting weights and Rex Ryan didn’t even wait for a diagnosis before ruling him out for Sunday’s game.
Ruling McElroy out for the game was undoubtedly the right decision because the final game means nothing...

Just like the Jets, I have nothing to play for (or pick for) this week. My 1-2 record in Week 16 brought my yearly record to a stellar 15-31-2. I always thought this column would net some bad results, but even I didn’t think it would be this bad. Again, sorta like the Jets.
