Jets sign Drew Stanton for back-up QB job

A week after the Jets signed quarterback Mark Sanchez to an insane five year extension, there was a understandable fear that they would have a hard time luring any quarterback to back-up Sanchez, since they would not be able to compete with Sanchez for the starting job.

The Jets watched as Chad Henne signed with Jacksonville, and Kyle Orton sign with Dallas, but on Friday the Jets settled for former Lions back-up Drew Stanton to the position. Staton did fill in admirably for quarterback Matt Stafford in 2010 when the Lions star quarterback was injured.

While his stats are not impressive, he's an improvement over Mark Brunell.

Meanwhile, Sanchez has been emboldened by his new deal. On the Michael Kay show, Sanchez ripped into his teammates for criticizing him anonymously, calling their actions gutless. Hey Mark, if you had any class, maybe you should tell that to their faces instead of running to the media and complaining. The Jets zoo continues.
