Sanchez says his comments about Tebow were misconstrued

Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez said after the team signed Tim Tebow that Tebow was just a camp arm, brought in as “another guy to throw.” Now Sanchez says those comments were misconstrued.
“I think that kind of came off the wrong way,” Sanchez said, via ESPN. “At least it was not exactly what I intended to say. It took on a life of its own. Listen, everybody’s here for a reason. We’re all working hard, trying to make each other better. Coach wanted specific guys here for specific reasons. That’s up to coach. We just plug in and play.”
Tebow, who served as a backup to Sanchez with the Jets in 2012, said he has nothing but positive feelings toward Sanchez.
“We had that relationship for a year,” Tebow said. “I think it’s deeper, it’s more evolved. I think it’s a good relationship. I have a lot of respect for him. I think you just try to make each other better.”
Sanchez and Tebow didn’t have much of a competition in 2012, and they aren’t really competing this year, either: Sanchez’s competition is with Sam Bradford for the starting job, while Tebow’s competition is with Matt Barkley for the third-string job. So there’s no real reason for the two of them to view each other as rivals.
