On Tuesday, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan made the decision to bench quarterback Mark Sanchez and name 2011 seventh round pick Greg McElroy the starter. Needless to say, Tim Tebow was disappointed that he wasn’t elevated to the top of the depth chart. “Obviously, I’m a little disappointed,” Tebow said. ”You try to handle it the best you can.” Acquired from the Denver Broncos in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks in the 2012 NFL Draft and the agreement that the Jets would repay the Broncos $2.53 million of a salary advance Tebow had received in 2011, Tebow has played in nearly snaps on special teams (59) as he has on offense (71), according to playing-time data tracked by Shutdown Corner. ”I think we had a vision of using Tim in different ways,” head Rex Ryan said on Monday. ”Obviously, we used him as a personal punt protector. I thought maybe we would use him in other ways or something.”
