Tebow had bulked up to 250 pounds the previous offseason, in part because he felt he needed to gird himself against the punishment he'd absorb as a running quarterback, in part to accommodate the Jets' desire to use him at different positions. Still, the team had also promised him a chance to compete with Sanchez for the starting quarterback job, and Tebow's performance in practice - his decision-making slow and uncertain, each of his passes wobbling like a Fokker clipped during a dogfight - confirmed what his 47.3 completion percentage with the Broncos should have made clear: He might produce a few spectacular plays, but he wasn't cut out to be an every-down quarterback.
