Less than 24 hours after participating in his first official workout as a member of the New York Jets, Tim Tebow is reportedly depressed and questioning his entire worldview.

“Tim is in a very dark place right now,” said his brother, Robbie Tebow. “He’s not sure if there’s anything to live for or if there is any good in the world. This is new for him. He’s questioning everything and the only answers he’s finding our hopelessness and despair. The Jets have killed his soul.”

The quarterback’s brother admits he saw this coming.

“Ever since he was a little kid, Tim had an unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone who knew him knew he walked the walk and was sincere in his faith,” said Robbie. “But when I found out he got traded to the Jets, well … I can’t say I didn’t expect this. I really don’t see how it’s possible to be a Jet and live with Christ’s joy. God is powerful, but even the creator of the universe is weak in the face of that level of failure and debauchery.”

Tebow reported to the Jets team facility Monday morning in his usual upbeat, outgoing manner, shaking hands and laughing with teammates. But not five minutes later, a change in mood started to appear.

Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez said today that he welcomes the team’s acquisition of Tim Tebow and will use it as fuel to make himself better.

“I am confident that at the end of the season, my critics will be forced to acknowledge that the 2012 season was the least shitty of my four seasons in the NFL,” Sanchez told reporters. “I fully intend to have repeated flashes of competence in the upcoming season.”

In three full seasons as an NFL starter, Sanchez has never thrown for 3,500 yards, completed even 57-percent of his passes or posted a quarterback rating above 78.2 — numbers that put him among the very worst in the NFL over that time. But the former USC quarterback is intent on making improvement across the board in 2012.

“Completing 60-percent of my passes seems a bit bold, but I will definitely shoot for 59-percent,” he said. “And I feel like I’m ready to join that level of quarterbacks with ratings in the 80s and call guys like Joe Flacco, Carson Palmer and Kevin Kolb my equals.”

If all goes according to plan, Sanchez says that in the next few years, he hopes to “reach the level that Jake Delhomme was at during his prime with the Panthers. It may sound like a foolish dream, but you have to reach for the stars, you know?”
