Jets vs. Broncos: Tim Tebow a Winner as Mark Sanchez Plays Like Loser

Tim Tebow is a winner. 

That is one of two headlines that you will read on Friday. The other will read simply, Mark Sanchez is a loser. You can also interchange Rex Ryan in there depending on the time of day or how you feel. The fact is, any of those sentiments would be true. 

In a Thursday night game that was laughably boring for the most part, something unexpected happened at the end of it. We were all proven wrong about that kid Tebow once again, and we had to reassess our feeling on the New York Jets, top to bottom. 

The one thing that will grate on everyone that watched the game is that praise will be given to Tebow for simply being a winner. 

The video of him scoring late in the game for the winning touchdown will be played over and over until nausea takes over. 

Tebow, Tebow, Tebow. That is all you will hear in a game that was more Sanchez, Sanchez, Sanchez. The Jets played an awful game and that more than anything allowed a quarterback that threw 9-for-20 for 104 yards to get the bulk of the praise. 

The Broncos can be applauded for their fine ground attack which includes Tebow. But this is more an opportunity to chastise Mark Sanchez, a quarterback that now has to be questioned as the presumed man under center for this franchise. 

His passes and decisions were questionable on a night when he threw 24-for-40 for 252 yards and one interception. 

The Jets and their quarterback were awful. That is exactly what should be the spotlight for what was an ugly game. 

Instead, Tebow will be crowned a winner. I am done arguing that fact. He seems to manage to gain so much from statistically so little. I could credit the Broncos defense or offensive line, but I will go with the masses because of frustration and exhaustion. Tebow is a winner.
