    After one of the New York Jets' most disjointed offensive efforts of the Rex Ryan era, a 17-13 loss to Denver in which the only touchdown pass Mark Sanchez threw was an interception, the coach backed his first draft pick as loudly as he could.

    "I'm extremely confident -- we'll go out there and play tomorrow," Ryan said. "This is our quarterback. He's going to be our quarterback for as long as I'm here -- which I hope is a long, long time."

    Tim Tebow's limitations as a quarterback in his fifth NFL start have been well noted. Yet the Jets' offense seemed just as stilted as Denver's, evidenced by a 3-3 halftime tie.

    Commentators such as former Jets teammate Damien Woody even noted on ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" that it's possible Sanchez has regressed this season.
