Quarterback of yesteryear dismissing a hated rival, Take 3: Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly isn’t sold on the Tim Tebow-Mark Sanchez union in Florham Park. He sees chaos on the horizon.
“I gotta be honest: I don’t know what (the New York Jets) really were thinking,” Kelly told NFL Network’s “Total Access” on Thursday. “Mark Sanchez is a quarterback who’s going to be sitting there every single game if he plays bad, and No. 1, you know Jets fans — they’re going to start booing.”
Looking back on his career in Buffalo, Kelly admits he would have questioned his “job security” had the Bills acquired some high-octane media magnet to breathe down his neck. (Frank Reich made a memorable dent in NFL lore, but he understood his place.)
“I think (there’s) a lot of pressure on Sanchez to not only start off hot — but continue game after game after game playing steady,” Kelly said. “If he doesn’t, you know you’re going to hear the boo birds. People want Tim Tebow in there. I like them both. I thought Sanchez was a very good quarterback coming on. If I was a general manager or president or owner of the team, I wouldn’t have done that (trade) unless I got rid of Sanchez. But I think he’s a good enough quarterback to be there.
“Tim Tebow’s a great athlete who’s going to be a big plus for somebody. But in New York? I’m not sure.”
This is where we pause to tell you that Kelly remains deeply woven to the fortunes of the Bills, admitting, “I hope there’s so much turmoil during (Jets) training camp.”
The delicious sidenote: The Jets open at home against the Bills. Huge, looming date on the calendar. Don’t expect to learn much in preseason about the Sanchez-Tebow dynamic. Week 1 — in MetLife, in front of a wild sea of green — is your acid test.

Never did care for Jim Kelly, of course when he played I was a rabid Dan Marino fan,LOL!!!
I don’t know anything about Jim Kelly, except he had good things to say about Tim leading up to the 2010 draft & even took Tim out to dinner as part of the Bills’ pre-draft interview process. I disagree w/what he says here, though. I think Tim’s presence is going to cause Sanchez to play better & Tim will be valuable in other ways. And if Sanchez doesn’t play well enough-or gets injured-they’ll simply eventually have to start Tim, just like the Broncos ultimately had to start Tim last year.
