One story which I have been following very closely in the world of sports is the Jets quarterback controversy. The Jets have three quarterbacks: Mark Sanchez who is currently the starting QB (but he is probably the least talented of the three quarterbacks), Tim Tebow who is currently the backup QB (but probably has the most talent of the three quarterbacks), and Greg McElroy (who led Alabama to a perfect season and a SEC and National Championship, but who has yet to see any real playing time in the NFL). During last weeks game against the Arizona Cardinals, Mark Sanchez threw three interceptions early in the game and was replaced by Greg McElroy (Tim Tebow was inactive in the game with two broken ribs, but who led the Broncos to the playoffs last season, and won the Heisman trophy and a BCS National Championship). Greg McElroy led the Jets to a come from behind victory, which has caused a huge problem for the Jets, which is who to start next week. Rex Ryan in a press conference Monday said he had no idea who he would start, and that Tim Tebow would be active this week and would be a possible candidate for the starting position. This indecisiveness comes after Rex Ryan has stood by Mark Sanchez the entire year, saying that he was the team's quarterback.
Personally I think that Tim Tebow should be the starting quarterback, as much as it brings me pain since he was a Florida Gator. Tebow is a proven leader, and can make plays with both his running and passing abilities. He also has proven that he can win as an NFL quarterback, by taking the Broncos to the playoffs last season. Many people question Tebow's ability to be an NFL quarterback, but I feel that his season last year has proven that he can win. His stats might not be the best, but he can win football games, which is what should matter. I would much rather see Tebow win games in an ugly fashion, than see Mark Sanchez throw throw an uncountable number of interceptions and lose games.
