Watching Tebow work his magic on the Jets locker room, and assuming it's only a matter of time before he does the same on the Jets fanbase, it becomes clear that the real problem isnt Tebow vs. Sanchez. It's what comes after.
Sanchez is what he is. If he has buried within him the makings of a bona fide NFL starting QB, then Tebow's presence won't derail him. If he's truly no more than he's shown so far, then he's no great loss.
But then you find yourself with Tebow. And Tebow is a sticky problem. A massively popular national figure with true, magnetic leadership talent at the most important position on the field, who can actually inspire his team to some wins...but who just isn't a good quarterback.
John Elway pulled off a brilliant trick, managing to jettison the Tebow albatross with a signing nobody could argue with. But there isn't another Peyton Manning out there. The next team that has to dump Tebow had better get creative.
