Cortland, N.Y., home of Jets training camp, has survived Tim Tebow. The team broke camp earlier this week which means that the infatuation with all things Tebow now becomes the media equivalent of a traveling circus. First stop: MetLife Stadium where the Giants and Jets will face off in a Week 2 preseason game.
But before officially closing the book on the two weeks in upstate New York, we wanted to point out the work of the Daily News's Manish Mehta, who painstakingly charted every training-camp throw from starting quarterback Mark Sanchez and Tebow.
Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN
Mark Sanchez's final stats for past 3 wks in Cortland (11on11s): 93 for 179 (52%), 6 TDs (5 pass, 1 rushing in goalline drills), 7 INTs #nyj
Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN
Upon further review, Tim Tebow actually completed 49.6% of his passes (61 for 123) in 11-on-11s at camp. 5 TDs (2 pass, 3 run), 3 INTs #nyj
In general, it's pointless to try to extrapolate camp stats into the regular season but it's worth noting that these numbers aren't that much different than the quarterbacks' career totals. In three seasons, Sanchez has completed 55.3 percent of his passes while Tebow is at 47.3 percent (hey, he's improving!) over two seasons.
