The Facts:
It remains to be seen exactly what role Tim Tebow will end up having on the Jets this year, but Sanchez thinks he has a good idea: Sanchez will start, Tebow will back him up, and as long as Sanchez is healthy, when Tebow gets on the field it will be doing “other stuff.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Asked by reporters in the Jets’ locker room today whether there’s a QB competition, Sanchez said Tebow will prepare like the starter but will be the backup. “I hope every backup quarterback wants the job of a starter,” Sanchez said. “That’s the way you have to prepare. ... Fortunately for Tim, he has the ability to do other things and that’s why he’s on board. He’s a backup quarterback first, and then he’ll do plenty of other stuff.” As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, that “other stuff” will involve some snaps in the wildcat formation, possibly some playing time at other positions in the offense, and some work on special teams. But Tebow said he’s preparing as a quarterback in what he called “a very fun quarterback room. ..." We'll see how long it stays that way.
