Vote: Should Tim Tebow or Mark Sanchez Start at Quarterback for the Jets?

There is a very real quarterback controversy going on in New York and it is hard to decide who the winner will be. One thing is for sure though: things can't get much worse for the Jets.

Gang Green enters Monday night's game against the Houston Texans at 2-2 but with little else to feel good about. After thrashing the Bills in Week 1, the Jets have were handled by the Steelers in Week 2 and squeaked by the Dolphins in overtime the next time out. Last week, they had their doors blown off by the 49ers and things don't look to get much easier on Monday night.

Mark Sanchez has been terrible so far for the Jets, completing less than 50 percent of his passes while having more turnovers than touchdowns. All the while, Tim Tebow has been patiently waiting on the bench for a chance, one that he might soon be getting.

The team is ready to incorporate more Tebow into the offense, with the realization that he is the team's best weapon right now. Of course, that might not be the case if Santonio Holmes were healthy, but with their star receiver out for the year, the Jets could be looking for a drastic change in their offense.

Then again, head coach Rex Ryan has insisted time and time again that Sanchez is his quarterback, a fact underscored by the massive contract extension that the Sanchize signed this offseason. As the pressure mounts in New York, however, Ryan might soon reconsider.

Who should start at quarterback for the Jets?
