The ugly win against the Arizona Cardinals, who were just as bad, hardly impressed anyone, as the Gang Green's position barely changed in the latest power rankings. Both ESPN and CBS Sports thought that Rex Ryan's team deserved to move one spot up - to #22 and #20 respectively. Pro Football Weekly kept the Jets right where they were a week ago, at #21. ProFootballTalk placed the Gang Green four spots up, from #29 to #25, mostly because their last week's ranking was just too low. Finally, Brian Billick of FOX Sports lowered the Jets' stock from #23 to #25.
Here's what all these websites had to say about the Jets:
ESPN: A quarterback controversy is in full swing. But is the 2013 starter even on the roster right now?
FOX Sports: Mark Sanchez was benched in favor of … Greg McElroy.
CBS Sports: Is it Tim Tebow time? One thing is certain: It isn't Mark Sanchez time anymore.
ProFootballTalk: Why do they even try?
ProFootballWeekly: Sanchez! Tebow! McElroy? Another wrinkle in Jets’ QB debacle.
