    Tim Tebow made his training-camp debut Friday for the New York Jets, and the results were mixed.

    Afterward, coach Rex Ryan said his backup quarterback needs to be more cautious when scrambling from the pocket. He wants Tebow to get rid of the ball instead of always following his first instinct, taking on would-be tacklers.

    "It's OK to throw the ball out of bounds," Ryan said. "You don't have to stand there, smack a guy away and run. ... But he's so competitive that he thinks, 'Hey, that first guy, I'll shrug him off and run.' "

    Working exclusively with the second-team offense, Tebow took a total of 12 snaps (including one penalty) in team drills. He dropped back to pass seven times, resulting in one "sack" and two scrambles.

    During one scramble, offensive coordinator Tony Sparano yelled for him to throw the ball, but Tebow turned up field and ran it into the teeth of the defense.
