Mark Sanchez thinks Tim Tebow is a camp arm. Sanchez told CSNPhilly.com that he’s been told Tebow was signed as another quarterback to give the receivers some work because Sam Bradford is still not 100 percent. “He’s obviously a great guy, he works hard. And we needed another guy to throw while Sam’s still recovering,” Sanchez said. “So that’s the reason , at least as explained to me. We’re excited about the upcoming year and I think we have a great group.” But that reason makes no sense. If the Eagles just wanted another guy to throw, there are dozens of quarterbacks with better arms than Tebow who could do that job. Where Tebow potentially has value to a team is in the things he can do beyond throwing the football: Tebow is good at escaping the pocket under pressure, good at making something happen when a play breaks down and good at managing the clock when his team is trailing in the fourth quarter. There’s value in those skills, which is why Tebow had some success as the Broncos’ starting quarterback. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...y-to-throw-thats-why-we-signed-tebow/related/
False. Sanchez is not a good NFL starter, but he's certainly an upper echelon back-up QB in today's NFL.
I'd rather have Bruce Gradkowski than Sanchez. He's not a terrible back up though. I wouldn't be terribly upset with him as a back up.
So the Cards were 9-1 when Palmer went down last year and ended up 11-5. I would have given my left nut to have had Sanchez on the roster last year.
