    Default Tebow to become RB?

    With both Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight hurting, the Jets haven't ruled out the possibility of Tebow seeing some looks at running back Sunday against the Patriots, Manish Mehta of the Daily News reports.

    Recommendation: As intriguing as this scenario sounds, as a QB Tebow remains behind Mark Sanchez and as an RB he'd obviously be behind Shonn Greene. If, however, at any point Tebow gains running back eligibility in your league, then the plot would thicken. Of course that's an unlikely outcome in most formats. In any case, with both Powell and McKnight likely out this week, Jonathan Grimes, Tebow (and perhaps fullback Lex Hilliard) are next in line for carries behind Greene on Sunday.

    It would definitely be interesting to see Tebow gain RB eligibility. If he did and got control of QB in NY then that could have interesting fantasy impacts.

    Are the Jets the biggest joke of the NFL? Do they have any clue to what they are doing? They have a coach that doesnt know how to shut up, they have teammates fighting in practice, they have a starting QB that McDonalds wouldnt even hire and now a QB to play RB.

    Running QBs do not have any appeal as an RB outside of being a decoy or the sweep run that turns into a pass. Scrambling QBs are able to dodge pass-rushers which is a lot different than running towards D-linemen that are plugging the line.

    hmm I dont know...Tebow is a big guy and has proven that he can run the ball through tackles. I am pretty sure he could do a good job with the same type of running style as Toby Gerhart.
