Rex Ryan made it clear on Tuesday that Mark Sanchez was not consulted before the Jets acquired Tim Tebow via trade last week. "Mark's job is to play quarterback, it's not to be the general manager," the coach. "That's what it is. Our decisions are based on the team." Ryan spent nearly an hour defending the trade, explaining why they made the move and insisting the Sanchez-Tebow dynamic will work fine. "I will say this: I feel better about our quarterback situation now than I ever have since I've been here," Ryan added.
