Tebow played the whole second half. Interestingly enough every snap was from the shotgun. His first series looked pretty good - 4 for 4 for about 50 yards. He moved the ball well, made several good passes, and seemed a changed man. After that it was the same old Tebow. He was 2 for 8. Even playing out of the shotgun he was sacked three times, though one was negated by a late hit penalty. He didn’t look like he was reading defenses well. He looked like a third string quarterback. A borderline third string quarterback.
Tebow’s reads were slower than Barkley’s, but Sanchez was very inaccurate and should drop on the depth chart
1 - had a receiver who had five steps on the safety and through it short. Receiver had to slow down ... Safety caught up and knocked it away.
2 - missed a wide open receiver by a good five yards when he rolled to his left... Receiver would have waltzed into the end zone untouched
3 - threw high on several occasions without reason... Gave his receivers no opportunity for run after catch and almost cost one of his receivers a knee injury
Barkley looked sharp but had at least 3 passes that were forced into situations where the receivers were very well covered.
Tebow’s throws were accurate, but after his first series, it looked like his primary and secondary receivers didn’t appear to be open, and he either didn’t have the time or the presence of mind to check the third / fourth option.
If roster cuts were tomorrow, I would be releasing Sanchez
