Mark Sanchez understands all the hoopla surrounding Tim Tebow. None of it worries the New York Jets quarterback. Hours after the Jets introduced Tebow at a huge news conference at the team’s headquarters, Sanchez spoke for the first time since New York acquired the popular backup quarterback from Denver last Wednesday. “We’re adding another player and were not replacing anybody,†Sanchez said during a conference call from California. “I mean, he’s here to help us and I’m confident in my abilities. I know the team feels the same way about me. They have belief in me. … I’m not worried about losing my spot.†The Jets have repeatedly said Sanchez is the No. 1 quarterback, while Tebow will serve as the backup and see plenty of playing time in various roles. Sanchez, who recently signed a three-year contract extension, doesn’t think it will be a distraction to have the popular quarterback on the team. He also brushed off the speculation that fans could call for Tebow as soon as he struggles. “That stuff happens whether you’re Tim Tebow or not,†Sanchez said. “They call for the backup any time you’re not playing to your potential, so that’s just part of the job if you’re not playing well.†Source: Associated Press
Does he just not care about "his spot" or does he think he's good enough to hold off a QB controversy?
He doesn't have to worry about it until at least season start. Tebow will look like absolute crap in off-season and practice just like always. Remember he was the Broncos 4th qb at one point last off-season because of his performance.
Sanchez doesn't have to worry about it because even though he sucks, at his worst he can throw the ball better than Tim Tebow. Maybe the RB's should fear TT.
yep, i think the way mark is looking at this is that he got paid ........ if he can't do any better and tebow takes his spot, he can get another contract somewhere else and get paid again. life is good for mr. sanchez. i don't think he has a lot of worries in this world.
