for the 10-20 snaps per game that he's on the field?ETA: Since he'll be the No. 2 QB on the depth chart I don't see any fantasy sites changing him out of the QB designation anyway.
What if Ryan lists him elsewhere so he can get away with dressing an extra QB?
They took away the 3rd quarterback rule. Teams just get 46 active now.
This - plus you always could have had 3 QBs active on game day if you wanted to. Teams did not want to "waste" one of the 45 roster spots though, so they used the emergency QB slot instead.
Sure! If he becomes the goal line QB as well as 5-15 "wildcat" snaps per game, that's better than a lot of #3 RBs out there. Last year J Stew had 10 or fewer carries in 12 of his 16 games, and never had more than 14 carries.
Why would they monkey around with all that, when he is the best QB on the roster...
Go look up Sanchez's passing stats from last season...then compare them to Tebow's...then come back and post again.
What do Sanchez's stats have to do with Tebow being bad??????
He won't be playing more than one position very long. And he's not nearly as bad as people like to portray. Sure he's in the bottom third to bottom 1/4 of passers in the NFL - but there are starting QBs in the NFL that are not being called "one of the worst to ever play the game" that are worse QBs in every facet than Tim Tebow. Incidentally, Sanchez is one of them - which is likely part of the reason Tebow came to New York...because if you can make it there...

I hope they don't change him from QB. If he puts up 20-30 FF points a week doing ten different things as a QB, then more power to him, but I would hate to relive a scenario from a few years ago when Joe Webb was listed as a WR in a work Yahoo league and a guy was playing him as a flex WR each week and reaping the points, despite the fact Webb was playing startign QB.I wil never play in a Yahoo league again (they wouldn't give us a means to change it).
There is a reason Tim Tebow holds half a dozen SEC passing records - and it's not because he can't throw to a target.'matuski said:You understand that making a football travel through the air to a target is the largest facet.... right?'DoubleG said:He won't be playing more than one position very long.

In no way shape or form is Tebow a better passer than Sanchez. The stats you champion to "prove" your point don't hold enough weight since Tebow didn't throw all that often and teams stacked the box to stop the option ofense the Broncos were running - so long comepletions were there for the taking when Tebow managed to hit a WR downfield. He missed many more than he hit.I like Tebow for what he is and still think he could develop into a better passer - but he was the worst passing QB in the league last season. It's not really debateable. ETA: Please notice that I didn't say he was the worst QB in the league last season, just the worst passer. Sanchez was arguabley worse since his mistakes were often killers and Blain Gabbert is a little girl who no one should have to watch under center.Sanchez was an absolute bonehead last season, making some awful awful decisions with the football so this isn't meant to defend him - he wasn't any good either. I'd also admit that its possible the Jets could be a better team with Tebow under center, but just stop with the nonsense that Tebow was a better passer than Sanchez last season. Anyone that watches football knows that isn't true.'DoubleG said:

So what? He plays in the NFL now. Danny Wuerffel held college passing records too.
looks like there was an error in translation.ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the New York Jets have told QB Tim Tebow that they plan to use him on special teams as the punt protector.
Actually he'll be blocking for the punter. Guess we shoudl expect the Jets to fake punt every time with direct snaps to Tebow to get the first down.looks like there was an error in translation.ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the New York Jets have told QB Tim Tebow that they plan to use him on special teams as the punt protector.
It's Tim Tebow, the punt return team protector. Expect tons of game winning punt returns for the Jets totally attributed to The Tebow's blocking skills.

The end is already written. It is only the path by which we get there that is a mystery.
The reason is the SEC has a lot of lousy QBs.
They have been talking about this for a while, but do you really think that will be the extent of his duties? Do you think they would have given up a valuable draft pick for a guy to watch the punter? I don't know what the plan is but I am pretty sure this will be the least of his duties.'FavreCo said:looks like there was an error in translation.ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the New York Jets have told QB Tim Tebow that they plan to use him on special teams as the punt protector.

No doubt. Those Manning boys, Stafford, Cam, Cutler. Terrible conference for putting out QB's.
So teams will stop stacking the box now that Tebow plays for the "ground and pound" Jets?
So you'd rather have Sanchez because he's more "conventional" and is in no way a threat to run - so he has worse passing stats and no running stats to bring to the table either??Okay...thanks for clearing that up.Oh and yes, if a QB is taking downfield shots (lower % passes) - typically he hits fewer than a QB who dumps off a lot...that's kinda why they're called "low %".

You're reading comprehension isn't very good if you think I said any of the bolded and Sanchez rushed for 6 TDs last season.You cropped this quote out from where you quoted me which actually refutes one of the two bolded mis-statements you attribute to me:So teams will stop stacking the box now that Tebow plays for the "ground and pound" Jets?
Okay...thanks for clearing that up.
Oh and yes, if a QB is taking downfield shots (lower % passes) - typically he hits fewer than a QB who dumps off a lot...that's kinda why they're called "low %".
And as long as one of them is listed as something other than "QB", I might actually enjoy that.
I don't see it happening as Tebow will be listed as a QB on the Jets depth chart.
Or would Tebow WANT to block if Sanchez kept the ball.
