It was a question that was asked as soon as third-string QB Greg McElroy was warming up on the sidelines on Sunday in the Jets game against Arizona. McElroy got the call, as Sanchez was benched after going 10-for-21 with 97 yards and 3 interceptions. McElroy engineered the only touchdown drive of the game in the 7-6 Jets' win and ran out the clock on a long drive that stopped short of a score on purpose. McElroy was 5-for-7 for only 29 yards, but had the all-important 1-yard touchdown toss to TE Jeff Cumberland.
Would Tim Tebow have gotten the call if he was healthy enough to play? Who knows and no one probably will ever know. McElroy made the most of his chance and he is definitely in the running to start next week at Jacksonville. Why? Because Rex Ryan refused to name a starter for next week, so as long as the door is open, it is an open competition.
So, the question to ask is: who gets the call next week?

Should the Jets start third-string Greg McElroy at QB next week against Jacksonville?
Yes, McElroy is the future...or at least better than the alternative.

No, Sanchez is in a slump and Jacksonville is the cure for what ails him.

No, when is it going to be Tebow Time? If Tebow is healthy, he should start.
