New York Jets QBs Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez getting along well - NFL News
New York Jets quarterback, Mark Sanchez, and his backup, Tim Tebow are getting along extremely well and are disproving all concerns by analysts and fans about a quarterback controversy when Tebow signed for the Jets in the current offseason.
The franchise opened up its locker room for the media on Thursday and most of the press pack gathered around the two highly talented quarterbacks.
Tebow was asked how he is adjusting to life with the Jets and the quarterback said that he was having a great time with his new teammates especially with Sanchez.
"It's been great, just working together, pushing each other, learning from each other, spending time in the film room, talking about our college days,"
The Jets made a surprising move to bring Tebow to New York after trading a fourth and sixth round draft pick to Denver Broncos for the player.
Tebow’s arrival led to question marks over the status of starter Mark Sanchez who did not have one of his better seasons in 2011-12.
The franchise though has always said that Sanchez will remain the starter and Tebow will provide backup while also running the wildcat option offence.
However, Sanchez is not taking anything for granted and said.
"I hope every backup quarterback wants the job of a starter. That's the way you have to prepare. I've been in those shoes in college, anticipating the game like I'm the starter, and then getting to the game and not playing.”
Adding further he said.
"Fortunately for Tim, he has the ability to do other things, and that's why he's on board. He's a backup quarterback first, and then he'll do plenty of other stuff."
Sanchez also went on to say that he has a great working relationship with Tebow and he will be rooting for him when he takes to the field.
After last season’s locker room battles between players and a public falling out between Sanchez and wide receiver, Santonio Holmes the franchise does not need any more controversy.
It seems that both quarterbacks are having fun with each other and are looking to help each other out for the betterment of the team.
Fans will hope that the situation remains the same and both Tebow and Sanchez help lead the franchise back into the playoffs.
