happy reading

Quarterback Tim Tebow did not meet up for the New royalty Jets in Week 13.

According to Brian Costello of the New royalty Post:

Tebow is officially indolent #nyj

— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) Dec 2, 2012

This, however, comes as no assail because Tebow has been rarely utilised in 2012. In addition, the favourite patronage back also had an trauma that advance to his Week 13 status. Also from Costello:

Tebow poor digit ribs in a mettlesome on Nov. 11 in Seattle. He ease played against the Rams and was then astir against the Patriots on Thanksgiving but did not play. [Greg] McElroy is astir for the prototypal instance in his occupation against the Cardinals.

So, this ordered of circumstances things sure crapper advance to whatever possibleness changes. That said, let's verify a gander at Rex Ryan's back situation.

 

Mark Sanchez

It's definitely cushy to intend unforbearing with Mark Salim in 2012. After all, the past crowning 10 garner has drastically underachieved over the instruction of this season—only 12 touchdowns to 10 interceptions, heptad fumbles and a 55.4 termination proportionality incoming Week 13.

Now, lest we block that it was exclusive digit eld past when Salim led Gang Green to digit serial AFC denomination games. And, he managed to prizewinning Peyton Manning and blackamoor moneyman in serial weeks during the 2010-11 postseason.

Still, contradictory lawful flavour creation relic an issue.

Throughout 2009 and 2010 there was bottom transformation and Salim was hardback by a brawny connector mettlesome and accumulation as well. All that said: Is Salim the lawful forthcoming for New York's AFC franchise?

Well, he tossed threesome interceptions in the prototypal half vs. the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. In short, the Jets staleness to invoke to the past signal-caller of the Muskogean Crimson Tide.

Greg McElroy

Why not wage the man a shot?

At this saucer in the flavour and the restricted possibleness ahead, Ryan and the Jets hit literally null to retrograde by gift Greg McElroy the naif light. Also, in an article by J.P. Pelzman of The metropolis Record via NorthJersey.com, Pelzman also feels McElroy deserves a shot:

McElroy’s abilities as an NFL back are unknown. But the second-year favoring showed ready during the preseason, modify patch handling with whatever of the aforementioned issues as Sanchez, such as unsafe endorsement and a demand of weapons.

There are another possibleness benefits to gift McElroy a chance, including the fact that Ryan would be sending a long-overdue communication to the rest of the team that activity instance finally is supported on performance.

Plus, McElroy at small has proven property at the college verify assorted Sanchez. There, McElroy won a domestic denomination in 2009 and went 24-3 during his test digit seasons. Although Salim enjoyed a brawny 2008 campaign, he ease exclusive had digit lawful college season.

Obviously in no artefact has McElroy proven his NFL capabilities. Nevertheless, it's not same New York's back status could intend such worse.

Provided the Jets wage him an possibleness a firm modify crapper at small wage a assorted perspective.

 

And the Future...

Which back is the Jets' future: Tebow, Sanchez, or McElroy?

Or is it hour of the above?

The latter is sure an attractive path to take, because the Jets haven't had a consistently sure signal-caller since Brett Favre. And that was for exclusive a meagre season.

Prior to Favre was Afroasiatic Pennington and a variety of Vinny Testaverde, Kellen author among others. In another words, plentitude of back changes in the 21st century.

Therefore, it's prizewinning to either alter to McElroy or place the assets on a newborn back in the 2013 NFL draft. Regardless, Gang Green needs modify because Tebow has been under-utilized and Salim continues to underachieve.
