As Conor Orr reports in the Star-Ledger:

The wizards of football who run the Jets organization went out and got Tebow who had taken the Denver Broncos to the playoffs, so there was a body of work available for study.  Even so, after Tebow has signed with the Jets, the wizards determined that he couldn’t play … not quarterback, anyway.  So he took a few snaps as a running back but mostly rode the pine.  Only the fans, it seems, wanted to see him on the field—and what do they know?  Compared, that is, to the wizards who put their faith in Mark Sanchez whose highlight reel includes a play where he lost a fumble after running into one of his own linemen.
