NFL: Mark Sanchez vs. Tim Tebow

[Drathdon]

Tebow was essentially a rookie last year. Most players do get better after their first year of being exposed to the NFL speed, so pretending his bad completions last year doom him forever when he did have splashes of great play (Steelers) seems to be an unlikely argument to put any weight in. Other rookies aren't held to your standards.

If he can't play, judge him by what he does now, a year later... not the first games of his career. The Jets are bad right now, so giving him a chance to see if any improvement is there only makes sense.
