Jets bench Sanchez, will start McElroy vs Chargers

NEW YORK — Mark Sanchez is no longer the New York Jets’ franchise quarterback.

He might not even be the backup.

Rex Ryan decided to bench Sanchez on Tuesday in favor of Greg McElroy after the fourth-year quarterback had another miserable performance in a 14-10 loss at Tennessee on Monday night that eliminated New York from playoff contention.

“I think it’s best for our team, and for this game,” Ryan said during a conference call.

Still Jets' starter, Sanchez out to prove himself

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Mark Sanchez spent a few days after his miserable performance wondering what was next.

The New York Jets quarterback had been benched, his coach tired of his mistakes, and there was no guarantee Rex Ryan would give him his job back anytime soon.

“I knew at some point before I died, I’d start at quarterback again,” Sanchez said Wednesday. “I’m glad it’s this week.”

Ryan gathered his three quarterbacks Wednesday morning and told them he made up his mind: He’s sticking with Sanchez.

For this week, at least.

“This means a lot,” Correa said from the draft site at MLB Network studios. “We’ve got a lot of good players there.”
