After throwing three interceptions on 21 attempts with zero touchdowns and a fan base that has totally come down on him, the Jets finally pulled Mark Sanchez in favor of second year QB Greg McElroy.

And in the very short time McElroy was given to prove himself running the Jets offense, the young QB out of Alabama responded with touchdown drive in his first drive to eventually give the Jets a 7-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

McElroy’s first touchdown pass came on a third down play to tight end Jeff Cumberland and perhaps cemented himself in as the Jets’ new starter after the Sanchez fallout and Tebow injury.

McElroy even asked for the football back after the score.

Let the QB controversy in New York begin!
