Jets' Ryan reiterates Sanchez is starter, not Tebow

When it comes to QB Tim Tebow, critics are still pulling apart his passing mechanics and saying he will never become a great NFL QB. While that may be true, Tebow is much more than just an NFL QB for his fans. As a mother, I know children look up to athletes as role models. Unlike many professional NFL players, Tebow is a role model that any parent can feel comfortable with their child looking up to.


While his playing ability may be in question, there is no doubt regarding Tebow's leadership skills. He has the ability to get teammates inspired and believing in themselves. Despite being down, Tebow was able to rally his team together to come back and win game after game. He shows children that, despite the critics, he will always come out determined to improve and do what needs to be done.


But the Broncos signed Peyton Manning on Tuesday. Sanchez and the Jets finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs last season after Sanchez helped take them to AFC title games in 2009 and 2010.
Ryan was asked if there would be competition between Tebow and Sanchez considering what Tebow did last season and the mania he created in Denver and throughout the country.
"Well, I look at it this way," he said. "We're incredibly fortunate to have a couple of young quarterbacks with playoff experience and playoff wins. Mark's been to two AFC championship games in three years and has four road playoff wins. I think that speaks volumes. I think the young man is just hitting his stride. I think he's going to be a tremendous quarterback. He is our quarterback. I think what Tim gives us is another great competitor in the things that we can do with him — that Wildcat in particular."
