The Facts: New OC Tony Sparano wasn’t overly concerned about managing what will undoubtedly be the most scrutinized quarterback situation in the NFL. So, could Tebow actually play as many as 20 snaps in a game as Rex Ryan suggested earlier this offseason? “I won’t give you the vision on what I think his role will be in the offense,” Sparano said. “I would just say that. ... I believe what [Ryan] says. He can play anywhere from one to 20 snaps."

Diehards Line:Sparano was, not surprisingly, vague about specific plans, adding: "As far as how we’ll use Tim or what we’ll do with Tim in that way, we’re going to keep that to us right now. ..." As Daily News staffer Manish Mehta suggested, Tebow’s enormous following coupled with Mark Sanchez’s penchant for inconsistency could mushroom into a controversy at some point, but the Jet’s new play-caller believes there’s room for both players in his offense. “We’re just excited to be able to add another good football player to our team,” Sparano said. ... The coach also said one of his points of emphasis for Sanchez and Tebow, who had both had plenty of turnovers last season, will be to take better care of the ball. “It’s going to be critical” to cut down on turnovers, he said. Sanchez committed a career-high 26 turnovers in 2010. Meanwhile, we'll advise you to stay tuned. The whole "Tebow thing" isn't going away any time soon.
